Get previous build result

Question

I want to imitate Jenkins’s original behavior of doing things (like sending notifications) when assemblies become unstable / fail or become successful again.

To do this, I need to request the previous build status, which can be done as follows:

currentBuild.rawBuild.getPreviousBuild()?.getResult().toString()

However, it rawBuildmust be a “dangerous” object and thus blacklisted and cannot be executed inside the Groovy sandbox .

Now, since I am loading my Jenkins scripts from SCM, I am unable to deactivate the Groovy sandbox at the level of each project, but only for the whole Jenkins instance (i.e. through this ), and this, of course, is not what I want.

Is there any other way to determine the last build status of a job that conforms to the sandbox principles (and does not include hacks, such as requesting status via the Jenkins REST API) that I skipped?

Answer 1

No need to refer to rawBuild, instead you can do the following without any special permissions:

currentBuild.getPreviousBuild().result

This will allow you to see the result of the previous build without requiring any special privileges set by the Jenkins administrator. It should be available anywhere.
