How to get information about the trigger of a gitea webhook in a Jenkinsfile?

Question

I have a Gitea and a Jenkins server. I installed Gitea plugin in Jenkins and set-up a multibranch pipeline which itself adds a webhook to the gitea repo. That works great, but the Jenkins pipeline will not build if a new tag was added. I wanted to add another webhook to do so.

As far as I can tell there is a webhook event for creation of branches and tags.

Is there a way to get the payload of the webhook in a Jenkinsfile to find out if there was a new tag added?

Answer 1

The Jenkins GitLab plugin makes the webhook payload information available in the Jenkins Global Variable env , which you can print (see How to list all `env` properties within jenkins pipeline job? )

Maybe this Gitea plugin does the same... have you tried to print all env variables?
