I use something like this in my groovy template // the goal is to find the top level job which should contain the changelist def upstreamBuild = null def cause = build.causes.find { if(it instanceof hudson.model.Cause.UpstreamCause) { return true } return false }
while(cause != null) { upstreamBuild = hudson.model.Hudson.instance.getItem(cause.upstreamProject).getBuildByNumber(cause.upstreamBuild) cause = upstreamBuild.causes.find { return (it instanceof hudson.model.Cause.UpstreamCause); } } Then I check if upstreamBuild is null or not, and if its not, I have access to its information like this: def changeSet = upstreamBuild.changeSet And you can get the info you are looking for from there. slide On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 3:35 AM, Chris Withers <ch...@simplistix.co.uk>wrote: > On 19/03/2012 15:26, Slide wrote: > >> This is awesome.
