Hello,
I am using jenkins for continuous integration work. I have a requirement where I need to trigger a job as part of the post
build
step of a job. For example I have a job to build a source and I would like to trigger
the
job that tests the binaries as part of the post build step. Although I am aware how to trigger a job in the post build step I am
failing
to understand how to pass certain parameters[ information that the next job needs to know to
execute]
to the next job. I came across the "Parameterized Trigger Plugin" <
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Trigger+Plugin
but it does not explain how to access the parameters passed in the new job.
Can someone help me with this ?
Hi,
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Trigger+Plugin?foc...
states that the downstream job just sees the values as environment variables.
What do you want to do with parameters that are passed?
I need to capture the name of the new hardware pack that is built to be used further down for testing. Right now I am using a file to write this information and then in the testing job I read this file.
Any suggestion or alternative?
Thanks,
James
