Issue in getting param from Jenkins to Maven runtime

I am using Maven surefire plugin to pass run-time parameters to Java run-time test environment. At java code level we're using 

String buildId = System.getProperty("bsIosBuildId");

to accept the value in the code.

Maven pom.xml snippet:

I have tried various combinations of bsIosBuildId but its not accepting a value from Jenkins. Whereas below mvn command runs all fine from commandline.

mvn clean verify -Dcucumber.options="--tags @test" -DtargetEnv="browserStackEnv" -DbsIosBuildId="blaBla"

Solution

  • Quick fix is sending the parameters to Maven as command line parameters.

    This is how I implemented this. Jenkins Build Configuration

    For me the given Plug-Ins for Jenkins didn't work as they should.
