System Global variables in pipelines

[Richard Ginga]

I have some logic in some stages the use System Global variables. I find that they are only available to the code within a node { } block. I have tried using env.variable, ${env.variable} and anything else I can find short of importing Jenkins.* and using methods there.

what am I missing? Is there a way to do this?

I have found the same. There is an open jira for this here:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-40455

Are you using declarative or scripted pipeline?

In declarative, I have found I can reference env vars configured in Jenkins in the environment section to set up job level environment:

environment {
jobVar = env.SOME_VAR
}

But I haven't checked if these job level environment variables are available in a script section that runs with 'agent none'

Most of the job work is done on a node / agent for my pipelines.

thanks for the validation anyway. I use scripted pipelines at this time. There always seems to be 4-5 ways to get things done in Jenkins/groovy. just thought i'd missed one.
