node-version-jenkins-plugin

A Jenkins plugin to detect the version of the Node.js source code in the current workspace and insert it as a build parameter

Building

$ mvn install -DskipTests

Clean with

$ mvn clean

Installing

Copy the resulting target/node-version-jenkins-plugin.hpi file into the Jenkins server plugin directory, e.g. /var/lib/jenkins/plugins and restart Jenkins.

Using

This plugin extends the Git plugin and runs after the git checkout phase. Its functionality can be switched on in a Jenkins job config under Source Code Management → Additional Behaviours where you can click on the Add button and select Extract Node.js versions as parameters and then tick the ExportNodejsVersion=Export Node.js version as parameters from nodejs/node git source box.

Once enabled for a job, two new job parameters will be made available after the initial git checkout:

• NODEJS_VERSION - the three part semver string, excluding any tags (i.e. -pre won't be included for non-release builds)
• NODEJS_MAJOR_VERSION - the first part of the semver string

These are also inserted as environment variables into the build (ymmv using those).

This plugin couples well with the Matrix Groovy Execution Strategy Plugin which can make use of a parameters property within a full Groovy scripting environment to select the matrix options that should be built, and their ordering.
