Jenkins execute shell scripts with parameters on remote machine

Question

I have a Jenkins job which executes a shell script on remote server. Now I would like to send some parameters along with the shell script. Below example might get you more idea.

variable1={git-URL}
variable2={branch}

I want this parameters to be passed on to shell script which is on remote machine and should execute like below

#/usr/local/bin/check_out_code.sh <git-url> <branch>

Would be great if anyone can point me some work around for this

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can reference any environment variable, including Jenkins parameters, as any other variable in linux: ${VARNAME}

Answer 2

I have the same problem with it.

The parameters/${xx}/$xxx are undefined in remote machine. So when your shell script executes in remote machine cannot get the correct value.

This way will fix the problem:

ssh -t server.example.com 'export MYVAR='"'$LOCALVAR'"'; mycommand'
