Jenkins Pipeline : How can I pass a map obtained from readProperties to withEnv ?

[JL 6BerYeti]

Dear All,

I am trying to setup (many) environment variables for a set of stages within a pipeline by reading a property file and then passing the result to withEnv.
As far as my understanding is correct, I thought that withEnv waits for a map, and readProperties returrns a map.
So, I try this :

def localProps=[:]

localProps=["moduleName=Communicator","versionNbr=1.0"]

    def pipeProps=readProperties([

defaults : localProps,

file : "Pipeline/lib/tutoFile.properties"

])

echo "${pipeProps}"

withEnv(pipeProps) {
            ... pipeline stages
        }

I am sure that the file is read within pipePros.
But the withEnv step fails with the following error :

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: must specify $class with an implementation of interface java.util.List at org.jenkinsci.plugins.structs.describable.DescribableModel.resolveClass(DescribableModel.java:442) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.structs.describable.DescribableModel.coerce(DescribableModel.java:371) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.structs.describable.DescribableModel.buildArguments(DescribableModel.java:313) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.structs.describable.DescribableModel.instantiate(DescribableModel.java:257) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.StepDescriptor.newInstance(StepDescriptor.java:194) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.DSL.invokeStep(DSL.java:181) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.DSL.invokeMethod(DSL.java:126) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsScript.invokeMethod(CpsScript.java:108)
I don't understand what is wrong in the code (as you can imagine, I am not a groovy guru...), and I'd like to know how to get out of there.

Thanks for your help.

This question is a top search result on Google so I figure it's worth a late
reply.

readProperties returns a map and withEnv expects a list so you'll need to
convert it. Try something like:


> def map = readProperties file:'env.properties'
> def properties = map.collect { key, value -> return key+'='+value }
> withEnv(properties)
