Jenkinsfile Declarative Pipeline defining dynamic env vars
You can create variables before the pipeline block starts. You can have sh
return stdout to assign to these variables. You don't have the same flexibility to assign to environment variables in the environment
stanza. So substitute in python3.5 get_version.py
where I have echo 0.0.1
in the script here (and make sure your python script just returns the version to stdout):
def awesomeVersion = 'UNKNOWN'
pipeline {
agent { label 'docker' }
stages {
stage('build') {
steps {
script {
awesomeVersion = sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'echo 0.0.1').trim()
}
}
}
stage('output_version') {
steps {
echo "awesomeVersion: ${awesomeVersion}"
}
}
}
}
The output of the above pipeline is:
awesomeVersion: 0.0.1
In Jenkins 2.76 I was able to simplify the solution from @burnettk to:
pipeline {
agent { label 'docker' }
environment {
awesomeVersion = sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'echo 0.0.1')
}
stages {
stage('output_version') {
steps {
echo "awesomeVersion: ${awesomeVersion}"
}
}
}
}
Using the "pipeline utility steps" plugin, you can define general vars available to all stages from a properties file. For example, let props.txt
as:
version=1.0
fix=alfa
and mix script and declarative Jenkins pipeline as:
def props
def VERSION
def FIX
def RELEASE
node {
props = readProperties file:'props.txt'
VERSION = props['version']
FIX = props['fix']
RELEASE = VERSION + "_" + FIX
}
pipeline {
stages {
stage('Build') {
echo ${RELEASE}
}
}
}
A possible variation of the main answer is to provide variable using another pipeline instead of a sh script.
example (set the variable pipeline) : my-set-env-variables pipeline
script
{
env.my_dev_version = "0.0.4-SNAPSHOT"
env.my_qa_version = "0.0.4-SNAPSHOT"
env.my_pp_version = "0.0.2"
env.my_prd_version = "0.0.2"
echo " My versions [DEV:${env.my_dev_version}] [QA:${env.my_qa_version}] [PP:${env.my_pp_version}] [PRD:${env.my_prd_version}]"
}
(use these variables) in a another pipeline my-set-env-variables-test
script
{
env.dev_version = "NOT DEFINED DEV"
env.qa_version = "NOT DEFINED QA"
env.pp_version = "NOT DEFINED PP"
env.prd_version = "NOT DEFINED PRD"
}
stage('inject variables') {
echo "PRE DEV version = ${env.dev_version}"
script
{
// call set variable job
def variables = build job: 'my-set-env-variables'
def vars = variables.getBuildVariables()
//println "found variables" + vars
env.dev_version = vars.my_dev_version
env.qa_version = vars.my_qa_version
env.pp_version = vars.my_pp_version
env.prd_version = vars.my_prd_version
}
}
stage('next job') {
echo "NEXT JOB DEV version = ${env.dev_version}"
echo "NEXT JOB QA version = ${env.qa_version}"
echo "NEXT JOB PP version = ${env.pp_version}"
echo "NEXT JOB PRD version = ${env.prd_version}"
}
