Change Log

Version 0.64 (Apr 17, 2016)

Show user friendly error message for script approval issues.

Script security has been incorporated into this plugin for security reasons. You may see warning messages related to security with groovy-script execution from this version on-wards.

A warning message is displayed on the screen if the user tries to execute groovy scripts that have not been approved. The message has a link that takes the user to the screen where the scripts can be approved. The user should have admin access to approve scripts.

Version 0.61 (Mar 30, 2016)

Use Script Security plugin for authorizing groovy scripts

allow ${JOB_NAME}

variable in properties and groovy file path

expose project and jenkins bindings in groovy script.

Version 0.53 (Jun 02, 2015)

Use faster Boon JSON parser instead of built in net.sef.JSON parser

Version 0.44 (Jun 02, 2015)

Added JSON Parameter feature based on json html editor by Jeremy Dorn
The groovy script should return a JSON object that corresponds to the "options" object referred to in json-editor

Version 0.1 (Jul 14, 2010)

Initial release

This plugin allows single select and multi select build parameters to be configured.

Here is a screenshot of the configuration page.

The 'value' field is a comma separated list of values for the single select or multi-select box.
This field can be left blank if the comma separated values need to be picked up from a properties file.
In that case the fields 'Property File' and 'Property Key' need to be filled in.

The 'default value' field is used to set the initial selection of the single-select or mult-select box.
in case of the multi-select box default value can be a comma separated string.
This field can be left blank if the default value needs to be picked up from a properties file.
In that case the fields 'Default Property File' and 'Default Property Key' need to be filled in.

Note: Neither "Property File" or "Default Property File" support referencing environment variables in their values. Thus, their values should be absolute paths specified without using environment variables.
