How do I recover tab / session information from Chrome / Chromium?

Question

I am attempting to create a Jenkins multibranch pipeline with a parameter which defaults to next build release version resolved from pom.xml in a maven project. What I have tried is to store release version in an environment variable and interpolate into defaultValue attribute of the parameter, however in the Jenkins GUI I only get "Null" in the input field. If i echo BUILD_RELEASE_VERSION inside a stage, the release version is correctly displayed.

What I have tried

pipeline {
  agent any

  environment {
      BUILD_RELEASE_VERSION = readMavenPom().getVersion().replace("-SNAPSHOT", "")
  }

  parameters {
      string(
              name: "RELEASE_VERSION",
              description: "Release version.",
              defaultValue: "${env.BUILD_RELEASE_VERSION}")  
  }
  .....
}

Any suggestions on how to correctly default to next release version is much appreciated. Thanks.

Solution 1

Use ccl-ssns (before on Google Code) with the 'Last Tab' and 'Last Session' files in

• Windows 7, 8.1, and 10: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
• Mac OS X: Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default
• Linux: /home/$USER/.config/google-chrome/Default

The Tabs listed in the output HTML with index '0' are the last tabs open.

Solution 2

Attention to passerbys!

The two answers here are both outdated as of July 2021.

The Current Session|Tabs files are no longer used. But you will find in the Default/Sessions/ folder lies the last two sessions and tabs files.

Solution 3

The files that restored my session from the backup files where:

.config/google-chrome/Default/Current\ Session

And

.config/google-chrome/Default/Current\ Tabs

Just copy the files to /home/username/.config/google-chrome/Default

This is a self-answered question for the solution I found, but I'll make it less ambiguous.

Have they moved these files into the Sessions folder by chance?
