Getting current timestamp in an inline script pipeline using the hudson plugin pipeline

Question

I want to get the current timestamp in an inline script pipeline using the hudson pipeline plugin. To customize the display name of the assembly.

Inline groovy script used:

def jobName = env.JOB_NAME + "_" + new Date()
currentBuild.displayName = "$jobName"
node {
   echo "job name $jobName"
}

Error on console:

org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.sandbox.RejectedAccessException: 
  Scripts not permitted to use new java.util.Date

Answer 1

Jenkins scripts run in the sandbox, by default the Groovy script does not have permissions for some operations.

When performing an operation without permissions issued RejectAccessException. So you have to execute your script, and then when the exception is thrown, go to:

http://yourHost/jenkins/scriptApproval/

And confirm the required permission:

, ms, :

echo "TimeStamp: ${currentBuild.startTimeInMillis}"

echo "TimeStamp: ${Util.getTimeSpanString(System.currentTimeMillis()}"
