Passing environment variables across Build Flow jobs

[Sagu Feert]

I have 2 build flow jobs: bf1 and bf2.
bf1 triggers bf2, and I'd like bf1 to pass some environment variables to bf2.

I tried using the 'Parameterized Trigger Plug-in' to pass variables between the two and that didn't work.

I also tried triggering bf2 in the bf1 DSL like this:
build( "bf2", param1: someParam)

and that didn't work either.

Is this simply not possible?

You need both of those solutions: set up bf2 to take the parameters you want, and have bf1 pass them in.

Thanks Marc.

I added this in the bf1 DSL:
build( "bf2", param1: 'asd')

Then in bf2:
- I checked the 'This build is parameterized' box

- I specified the param name as param1 and did not give a default value.

- In the DSL I said:
def env=System.getenv()
env.each{
println it
}

When bf2 runs, I see a bunch of environment variables, but not param1.

Can you please tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks,
Sagu

You want to get the parameter, not the environment variable.

Sorry Marc, I don't understand how to do that.

For other regular jobs I simply access parameters as environment variables (by asking the jobs to execute a shell script).

I can't do that in the DSL for bf2, and trying to print $param1 doesn't work.

How do I access that parameter in bf2? Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

params = params.get('PARAM_NAME', 'DEFAULT_VALUE')

[Marc MacIntyre]

Ugh, should have read

p = params.get('PARAM_NAME', 'DEFAULT_VALUE')

Awesome! That worked.

Thanks a ton! :)
