Pass environment variables to Ant build.xml from Jenkins?

I am using Jenkins as CI. I have an build.xml. Build.xml has code like below.

<property name="environment" value="$environment}" />

How can i pass value to build.xml from Jenkins ? Can i pass it through environment variables?

Solution

  • You can set properties with build parameters (ie: myParameter) and get them in an ant script with ${myParameter}.

    Just make sure you don't use dots in parameters names in jenkins because there might be problems getting them in the ant script.

    As for environment variables, i don't know, sorry.
