Multiple Jenkins parameterized build value pass value to Jenkinsfile for declarative pipeline

Question

Hi my Jenkins project is parameterised build. I have 3 variables. 1 choice and 2 string parameter. The choise perameter is do_you_want_to_deploy and string parameter is git_tag and git_branch. I want to know how can i pass this value to a jenkinsfile?

In freestyle project, I selecft 'Extra Variables' and then got Key and Value. So key i put deploy_location, value is ${do_you_want_to_deplo}. Key is which_tag, value is ${git_tag}. Key is which_ranch, value is ${git_branch}. I am performing for ansible. How can i add verbos -vvv as well? This for pipelin project. Below is my code

                ansiblePlaybook(
                    vaultCredentialsId: 'VaultId',
                    inventory: 'host-inventory.yml',
                    playbook: 'myPlaybook.yml'
                )
``

I also need pass same value to downstream project. How can this be done?

In Jenkinsfile there is parameters block to define variables. As per your use case, parameters definition may look like below. Here, by choice in your explanation I was assuming you need a toggle but if you need a list of items then use choice parameter type.

pipeline {
...
  parameters {
    booleanParam(name: 'do_you_want_to_deploy', defaultValue: false, description: 'Description of do_you_want_to_deploy')
    string(name: 'git_tag', defaultValue: '', description: 'Description of git_tag')
    string(name: 'git_branch', defaultValue: '', description: 'Description of git_branch')
  }
  stages {
    stage('Example') {
      steps {
        ansiblePlaybook(
          ...
        )
      }
    }
  }
}

In freestyle project, I selecft 'Extra Variables' and then got Key and Value. So key i put deploy_location, value is ${do_you_want_to_deplo}. Key is which_tag, value is ${git_tag}. Key is which_ranch, value is ${git_branch}. I am performing for ansible. How can i add verbos -vvv as well?

Ansible plugin has an option extraVars that can be used to pass number of variables from the pipeline. There is another option named extras that takes a string and can be used to pass additional variables, switches etc.

Together, ansiblePlaybook may look like below,

ansiblePlaybook (
  vaultCredentialsId: 'VaultId',
  inventory: 'host-inventory.yml',
  playbook: 'myPlaybook.yml',
  extras: '-vvv',
  extraVars: [
    deploy_location: params.do_you_want_to_deploy,
    which_tag: params.git_tag,
    which_branch: params.git_branch
  ]
)

I also need pass same value to downstream project. How can this be done?

As you can see from the example of ansiblePlaybook above, the parameters can be accessed via params object.
