accessing Jenkins environment

[Jeremy Marshall]

Hi

I was wondering if there is a way of accessing the Jenkins environment such as BUILD_NUMBER from with dsl?

Ultimately I want to update the envInject object of the downstream job with the build number from the this job. I could save it to a file in a previous build step and read it back but that seems a bit involved

Thanks

Jeremy

Solved my own problem (which is nice)

//binding.variables.each{ println it.key println it.value }


println (" BUILD_NUMBER = " + binding.variables.BUILD_NUMBER)

I was thinking there would be the variables from the outer scope available but it is a bit more complex than that

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7421993/how-to-list-all-binding-variables-with-groovyshell/7422385#7422385

with some help once I knew what to google

Did you try just println " BUILD_NUMBER = ${BUILD_NUMBER}"? That works for me just fine. As you noticed we bind all the build.getEnvironment variables directly into the binding, so that they're available without any other indirection, so you shouldn't need the binding.variables.BUILD_NUMBER. I can see there being a problem deeper down into a method or something. But in that case you can pass it in as a variable. Here's a sample of the variables available:

 BUILD_CAUSE=USERIDCAUSE
 BUILD_CAUSE_USERIDCAUSE=true
 BUILD_ID=2013-05-22_22-53-55
 BUILD_NUMBER=3
 BUILD_TAG=jenkins-job-dsl-env-3

Hi

yes you're right. I tried several ways but not the right one.

One is in the jenkins environment and the other one I put in with envInject.

The top one works and the two commented out ones fail

Thanks 

Jeremy

println "BUILD_NUMBER = ${BUILD_NUMBER}"

println "BRANCH_NAME = ${BRANCH_NAME}"


//println "BUILD_NUMBER = " + ${BUILD_NUMBER}
//println "BRANCH_NAME = " + ${BRANCH_NAME}


//println "BUILD_NUMBER = " + $BUILD_NUMBER
//println "BRANCH_NAME = " + $BRANCH_NAME

BTW, those last two examples aren't valid Groovy. The ${} syntax only exists in gstrings. If you remove the "${" and "}" around them, they would work.

Thanks for the question / answer Jeremy,

I'll put this info on the wiki so others can benefit from it without a trawl through the newsgroup.

Cheers, Andrew

Hi Andrew.
The method Jeremy shared (binding.variables.something) works if the DSL job itself has parameters, and someone (like me) wants to access the param values.
Do you think it is a good idea to document that also on the User-Power-Moves Wiki page ? It only saves the user from digging through this forum posts :-).

Please do let me know if this sounds okay. I want to attempt forking this on github and submitting a merge request.
Thanks in advance !

Hi Parag. Sounds great. Go for it and submit the PR. Thanks very much for your input.

Kind regards, Andrew

Hi!

It's not necessary to use binding.variables. Build parameters are exposed as environment variables in Jenkins and environment variables are available as variables in DSL scripts, see https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/User-Power-Moves#access-the-jenkins-environment-variables.

I added a hint to the docs in c309d86.

Hi!

It would be also good to have acces to the JOB_URL variable. My script needs to understand on which Jenkins instance it is run and I can't see any way to find it out without this variable.

I can get this to work in a top-level Groovy file.
However, if I use "${BUILD_URL}" in a static class function in an imported Groovy file, this does not work.

So for example:

top.groovy:
import static Sub.somemethod
println("${BUILD_URL}") //this works

sub.groovy:
class Sub {
    static def somemethod() {
        println("${BUILD_URL}") //this gives an error
    }
}

The error I get:

Apparent variable 'BUILD_URL' was found in a static scope but doesn't refer to a local variable, static field or class. Possible causes:
You attempted to reference a variable in the binding or an instance variable from a static context.
You misspelled a classname or statically imported field. Please check the spelling.
You attempted to use a method 'BUILD_URL' but left out brackets in a place not allowed by the grammar.

Is there any way to  resolve this? I'm using imports in multiple places, so I can't always pass along the variable from the top-level script to fix this problem.

[Dan Langer]

Any luck finding a solution for this?

The environment variables like BUILD_URL are only available in the script, but not in any classes. And you can't use println in classes, see https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/Job-DSL-Commands#logging for details.

In the script, the variables are stored in the binding (see http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/api/groovy/lang/Script.html#getBinding()). You can use the binding to pass the variables to any classes:

script.groovy:
Sub.someMethod(binding.variables, out)

sub.groovy:
class Sub {
    static someMethod(def variables, def out) {

        out.println(variables.BUILD_URL)

    }
}
