Pass parameters to Ant build in URL

[Frank Winkler]

I try to start an Ant build using an URL like this:

<job.url>/build?myParameter=myValue&delay=0sec

The job starts without a problem, but in the job's Ant script myParameter is undefined.
We're still using Jenkins 1.484.

Thx in advance for any help!

Is myParameter defined as a build parameter in the job that you trigger? As far as I know, you can’t use the URL to pass arbitrary parameters, only pre-defined ones.
If myParameter _is_ a job parameter, how is your ant script referencing it?

No, the job is not parameterized. So I think this is the reason why the Ant script doesn't receive the parameter. Maybe there is another way to pass a parameter to the job when it is triggered by an URL.
