How do i pass a build number from an upstream job to a downstream job using the build pipeline plugin

[Eric Wood]

I have an upstream job that uses the version number plugin to set a build environment variable to something like: 1.0.0.2

I use the Build Pipeline plugin to trigger a downstream job manually and I want to pass this value down the pipeline to use.  I cannot use the parameterized build trigger plugin with the build pipeline plugin ... at least as far as I can see.

How can I pass the build version number from an upstream job to a downstream job?

Thanks?

How about save environment variable out to file then use env inject plugin to load it in downstream jenvironment

If I do understand your question correctly, then you could use a build call within the build pipeline like this one:

        build(downstreamJobName,

              VERSION: '1.0.0.2

             )

Provided that the job with the name 'downstreamJobName' accepts a parameter with the name 'VERSION'.
