How to store Jenkins project build numbers, build date and build time into file?

I want to store projects build numbers, build date and build time into file after triggering the job. I tried for this ans but it is storing the latest build number into file and deleting the previous one.

Windows Platform - Execute windows batch command

echo jenkins-build=%BUILD_NUMBER% > Drive:\path\to\file.properties

Solution

  • The problem is with the output redirection using >. A single > creates a new file and writes to it.

    To append to an existing file, you should use >> (it will still create the file if it doesn't exist).
