Embed html report in email body using Email-ext plugin on Jenkins pipeline?

How can I make the email body as the selenium html report. I have followed the methods give in the question Display HTML page inside mail body with Email-ext plugin in Jenkins, but I'm getting error

The code I used is:

node {
    stage ('email')
    {
        emailext (
        subject: "some subject",
        body: ${FILE,path="enteryPath/template.html"},
        to: "[email protected]"
        )  

    }
}

Jenkins Version 2.85 Email extension plugin version 2.60 Thanks

Solution 1

I have fixed the issue on pipeline by the following code

emailext mimeType: 'text/html',
        body: '${FILE,path="Seleniun/test-output/emailable-report.html"}', 
        subject: 'Selenium: Job '${env.JOB_NAME}' Status: currentBuild.result, 
        to: EMAIL_ADD

Solution 2

If you use a custom path this answer is for you

I had a complication trying to achieve this result because my path was dynamically changing and I had to use a variable inside a FILE variable. So when I tried any of the following

body: '${FILE,path=${report}}'
body: "${FILE,path=${report}}"
body: '''${FILE,path=${report}}'''

and many more, it didn't work. On the other hand I couldn't read the file with groovy because of Jenkins restrictions

My workaround was to read the html directly with shell like so

html_body = sh(script: "cat ${report}", returnStdout: true).trim()

and then just send the email

emailext replyTo: '$DEFAULT_REPLYTO',
  subject: "subject",
  to: EMAIL,
  mimeType: 'text/html',
  body: html_body

where ${report} was a path to html file like /var/jenkins/workspace_318/report.html
