Jenkins- Build Date in Jenkins Email

Question

I have an env variable called “BUILD_ID” redefined using zentimestamp plugin in my Jenkins setup and I use it in the configured jobs for various reasons.

I’m now trying to display the build date in the format “YYYY-MM-DD” in emails triggered by email extn plugin as part of post build. 

Answer 1

Install the zentimestamp plugin. This plugin exports a BUILD_TIMESTAMP variable. You'll see the option called "change date pattern for the BUILD_TIMESTAMP (build timestamp) variable"

You can then edit the desired date pattern as yyyy-mm-dd.

Now use $BUILD_TIMESTAMP in your Email-ext plugin.
