How to get list of changed files since last build in Jenkins/Hudson

Question

I have set up Jenkins, but I would like to find out what files were added/changed between the current build and the previous build. I\'d like to run some long running tests

Answer 1

With Jenkins pipelines (pipeline supporting APIs plugin 2.2 or above), this solution is working for me:

def changeLogSets = currentBuild.changeSets
for (int i = 0; i < changeLogSets.size(); i++) {
  def entries = changeLogSets[i].items
  for (int j = 0; j < entries.length; j++) {
    def entry = entries[j]
    def files = new ArrayList(entry.affectedFiles)
    for (int k = 0; k < files.size(); k++) {
      def file = files[k]
      println file.path
    }
  }
}
