Jenkins P4 (Perforce) Plugin exposed variables

[BeckyY]

Question is about the P4 plugin by Perforce, not the Perforce plugin by a third party.

I didn't see in the documentation any info about exposed variables.   In particular, I need to know the changelist # that the plugin selects to build against.   I created a simple project in Jenkins, configured perforce for it. I see from the build log (console output) that it got the latest changelist.  But within my build scripts I need to use that changelist number as a variable.   Anyone know what variables the P4 plugin provides for build scripts?

Probably easiest to find out what environment variables are defined with a shell or batch build step that executed 'env' or 'set' respectively.

Thank you, Daniel!    Yes, it was as simple as that!   P4_CHANGELIST is an environment variable containing the latest changelist for the path provided.
