How to generate a yaml file and send it with jenkins-CodePudding

I'm trying to generate a yaml file using jenkins based on the job params and then i send it by mail.

I have my pipeline ready with my params to complete, but i don't know how to generate a file with variable params that i write down my job neither how to send it by mail.

Hope you're better than me in jenkins (groovy code BTW for the actual configuration of our team jenkins)

I juste tried to echo my variables in the ugly way of the whole yaml in my groovy code.

But i'm expecting to generate a yaml, based on a template and only editing some specific parts of the template.

To generate a YAML file using Jenkins and Groovy, you can use the writeYaml method from the jenkins-pipeline-utility-steps-plugin Jenkins plugin. You can pass the method a map of key-value pairs representing the YAML data you want to generate, and the method will create a YAML file with that data.

Here's an example of how you might use the writeYaml method to generate a YAML file based on job parameters:

// Define a map of key-value pairs representing the YAML data
def yamlData = [
  param1: params.param1,
  param2: params.param2,
  // Add additional key-value pairs as needed
]

// Use the writeYaml method to generate a YAML file
writeYaml file: 'my-file.yaml', data: yamlData

Once you have generated the YAML file, you can use the mail step from the email-ext Jenkins plugin to send the file by email. The mail step allows you to specify the recipient, subject, and body of the email, as well as any attachments you want to include.

Here's an example of how you might use the mail step to send the YAML file you generated above:

mail to: '[email protected]',
     subject: 'My YAML File',
     body: 'Attached is the YAML file you requested.',
     attachments: 'my-file.yaml'
