Hi Fred,
By "a normal build parameter wrapped in a file", do you mean to the field "File Parameter" that appear when clicking "Add parameter" in the configuration page of a build?
If so, then this option isn't good because that I provide the data (the file with it's contents) from outside of the script.
The feature that I ask here tries to do the exact opposite - provide a piece of data that is created/calculated by the script, which is to be displayed in a column under a "view" page.
The "Why?" is that currently nothing allows the script to create data and display it under one of the columns in one of the "Views" in Jenkins.
Use case:
1. Run job "Foo" that is in view "Bar"
2. The script extracts a version number from a hardware (e.g. Arduino board or something similar)
3. The version number is written to a file in the workspace
4. At the end of the job, the number is displayed in one of the columns under the view named "Bar"
(Each time that the job "Foo" is executed, the number will be taken from the last build)
I hope that I answered properly, if not please ask and I'll try to elaborate!
Thank you.
Regards,
Dor.
