link to artifacts in jenkins email

[nns]

Hello all!

Does anybody know the way to insert the direct links to built artifacts in email sent by Jenkins?
The issue is that the artifacts names are not static, and it's impossible to write something like
"Please see ${ENV,var="JENKINS_URL"}/job/${ENV,var="JOB_NAME"}/${ENV,var="BUILD_NUMBER"}/artifact/filename.txt"
in email body.

Is there any way to export some environment variable within the last build step or post-build task, like :
MSG_BODY=
FILELIST=`find $WORKSPACE -type f -name "*.txt"`
for file in $FILELIST
do
   MSG_BODY="$MSG_BODY $JENKINS_URL/job/$JOB_NAME/$BUILD_NUMBER/artifact/"`basename $file`
done

and then use this variable within Email-Ext plugin somehow ?

Thanks in advance.

e-mail body doesn't process the scripts - it can take only env vars. But how to pass environment variables from build step to post-build email step?

Hi,

If you don't find the appropriate plugin and don't want to write it,
you can always always add a step to you job to send an email with all
text, links and attachments that you need.

That's what I ended up doing for mail sending: I can tune it to my
exact own needs (Gmail as mail server, longer text + links to
artefacts + attachments of those artefacts)

Why  don't you go this way

regards

Yes, I can do that but I wanted to ask the list if someone had a
solution to it first.

I do not want to go that way because it is easier to go to a web page
and see the actual info there.
When sending a mail, only the receivers of that mail can see it, and it
is more difficult to find the mail related to a certain build job later.

So we want to gather all status and info about a build in the status
page for that job.
I found the "Downstream Build View Plugin"
(https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Downstream+buildview+plugin) that
works for me in some way.

But I also would have seen the permalinks of the downstream jobs in the
status page also.
