Hi,

 

Is it possible to use perforce password credential in pipeline?

 

like,

withCredentials([ usernamePassword(
  credentialsId: 'perforce',
  usernameVariable: 'P4_USER',
  passwordVariable: 'P4_PASSWORD')
]) {
  ...
}

If not provided, please add this feature.

 

Thanks,

Re: how to use perforce credential in pipeline

Hi Hokwang Lee. No I dont think that is possible. What is the usage case? For example do you have may Jenkins Masters and this would cut down on local configuration?

Re: how to use perforce credential in pipeline

Hello Hokwang Lee - Did you see my last message? Can you please provide an example of how you would use this.

In my testing the 'withCredentials' seems to be used to access the Perforce password already stored in the credential 'perforce' (from your example). For me this works and I can access the password in the variable 'P4_PASSWORD' from within my Jenkinsfile.

Hi, Karl Wirth

I've tested.

 

1) When I create "Username with password" kind in Jenkins Credentials page,

I can use this in below format. There's no problem.

withCredentials([ usernamePassword(

2) I just ask that can I use "Perforce Password Credential" kind or not.

Like

withCredentials([ perforcePassword(

Now I should create both "Username with password" and "Perforce Password Credential".

Hello Hokwang Lee - I will correct my original response and say yes it is possoble. As you have found  'usernamePassword' gets the correct information:

node {
 withCredentials([usernamePassword(credentialsId: 'MyJenkinsP4Credential', usernameVariable: 'USERNAME', passwordVariable: 'PASS')]) {
    sh '''
      set +x
      echo "User is $USERNAME " > out.txt
      echo "Pass is $PASS" >> out.txt
    '''
  }
}

Important note: If you try to echo the variables or 'out.txt' to job console in Jenkins you will see the user and password replaced with the text '****' . However the contents on disk does contain my credentials:

$ cat /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/JENKINS-58209-withCredetials/out.txt
User is jenkinsuser 
Pass is Password123

Is there any reason why you need a 'perforcePassword' and how would it differ from usernamePassword?

Yes the Perforce credentials are accessible using 'withCredentials'.
