[workflow-plugin] how do you access job output parameters?

[Andy Piper]

In particular I have a job that uses p4 and therefore sets the variable P4_CHANGELIST which I can pass to downstream jobs. How do I access this parameter from a job in order to pass it on when using the workflow plugin?

I want something like:

def thejob = build('myjob');
build job: 'nextjob: parameters: thejob.P4_CHANGELIST

or something. I'm sure it's simple but I cannot find any documentation that gives me any clues.

Thanks

I don’t use the workflow plugin I use the build flow plugin, but I one way would get be like this:

 

thejob.properties["environment"]["P4_CHANGELIST"]

So to answer my own question, here is what worked for me:

    def corejob = build job: 'MyJob', parameters: buildparams

    def item = hudson.model.Hudson.instance.getItem('MyJob') 

    def changelist = item.lastBuild.getEnvironment(null).get('P4_CHANGELIST')

    buildparams.add(new hudson.model.StringParameterValue('P4_CHANGELIST',changelist));

and so on. A bit cumbersome but it appears to work. The documentation this is really poor IMO.

Great! So maybe you could file a pull request and/or enrich wiki pages you may have found?

Thanks

Reasonable but not yet supported:
