Read versionName of build.gradle from Jenkins

Question

I\'m using Jenkins for my Android app builds. On every build, I get some info, like build number, etc...

I\'m searching a way to read the versionName v

Answer 1

A better way to do this is add a "printVersion" task in build.gradle. app/build.gradle

task printVersion{
  doLast {
    print android.defaultConfig.versionName + '-' + android.defaultConfig.versionCode
  }
}

Test it with: ./gradlew -q printVersion

1.8-13

Then in jenkins pipeline, add a stage after git:

   stage('printVersion') {
        def versionInfo = sh (
            script: './gradlew -q printVersion',
            returnStdout: true
        ).trim()
        echo "VersionInfo: ${versionInfo}"
//set the current build to versionInfo plus build number.
        currentBuild.displayName = "${versionInfo}-${currentBuild.number}" ; 
   }
