Active choices parameter

I have active choices parameter installed in my Jenkins. Here I have to choose a value from the text file stored locally and then display this as a multi select option to the user. For example, my text file can have an entry 1 - abc, 2 - def. The user has to see both the entries and can select either of them or both of them. This text file is maintained manually. I can have a third entry 3 - ghi and when I trigger the Jenkins job, I should see all the 3 entries.

Can anyone please help me out here?

Thank you in advance, Rohit

Try this:

// create blank array/list to hold choice options for this parameter and also define any other variables.
def list = []
def file = "/opt/data/jenkins/jobs/dummy_dummy/workspace/somefile.txt"

// create a file handle named as textfile 
File textfile= new File(file) 

// now read each line from the file (using the file handle we created above)
textfile.eachLine { line -> 
        //add the entry to a list variable which we'll return at the end. 
        //The following will take care of any values which will have 
        //multiple '-' characters in the VALUE part 
    list.add(line.split('-')[1..-1].join(',').replaceAll(',','-'))
}

//Just fyi - return will work here, print/println will not work inside active choice groovy script / scriptler script for giving mychoice parameter the available options.
return list

You can use a groovy script to parse file and return options, something like:

def list = []
File textfile= new File("path-to-file") 
textfile.eachline { line -> 
    //assuming you want only text values without a number
    list.add(line.split('-')[1]) }
return list

Also choose "choice type" for multiple values.
