What properties are in Jenkins / Hudson available for build configuration?

Question

The question is in the title

I know about BUILD_NAME and BUILD_ID and BUILD_TAG and I have seen somewhere a list of properties, but I can't find it anymore.

Solution 1

There is

• a quite extensive list in the JENKINS wiki (or if you prefer in the Hudson Wiki,
• there is a link to it below the textarea where you specify your build steps (see below)
• you could run

  env

  as bash script in a build step to find out which additional variables are inherited on your system:

Solution 2

To view available env vars in your case (since they also depend on installed plugins) just go to this URL:

https://<your-jenkins>/env-vars.html

Replace https://<your-jenkins>/ with how you used to access your Jenkins (it can be, just for instance http://localhost:8080/env-vars.html or https://linux-jenkins-1:8443/env-vars.html).

Solution 3

Updating the link to Jenkins WIKI: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Building+a+software+project#Buildingasoftwareproject-below

Execute shell helped in my case since I was looking for a custom env variable. Thanks so much

Alternatively use SET in a windows batch command for the same result.

in a groovy script, what are the properties available for "currentBuild" object?
