how to include Jenkins Build Number in Ant script - quick question

[Z W]

Hi

We like to sync up Jenkins build number with our version.xml file.
Is there a way to include Jenkins build number in our main ant script
build.xml so that it would write to our version.xml ?

Thanks

Take a look at XmlTask for Ant. You can then update your xml file using xpath.

Hi,

your case sounds like you simply need to pick up the environment variable in your ant script:

<property environment="env" />

Then you can use the following variables:

e.g. ${env.BUILD_NUMBER}
