I have two scripts in the pre-build step in a Jenkins job, the first one a perl script, the second a system groovy script using the groovy plugin. I need information from the first perl script in my second groovy script. I think the best way would be to set some environment variable, and was wondering how that can be realized.
Or any other better way.
Thanks for your time.
The way to propagate environment variables among build steps is via EnvInject Plugin.
Here are some previous answers that show how to do it:
In your case, however, it may be simpler just to write to a file in one build step and read that file in another. To make sure you do not accidentally read from a previous version of the file you can incorporate BUILD_ID
in the file name.
Using EnvInject Plugin from job configuration you should use Inject environment variables to the build process / Evaluated Groovy script
.
Depending on the setup you may execute Groovy
or shell
command and save it in map containing environment variables:
By either getting command result with execute
method:
return [DATE: 'date'.execute().text]
or with Groovy
equivalent if one exists:
return [DATE: new Date()]
