Pass global environment variables from .jervis.yml file to pipeline_jenkinsfile

[tairov]

I need to pass some variable from .jervis.yml to Jenkinsfile, but can't figure out how to do that. I was trying to set variable in env section:

env:
  - MY_VAR=xyz

But can't access that variable in Jenkinsfile

def MY_VAR = env.MY_VAR ?: 'default'
sh "echo $MY_VAR"

Each time it shows default

At this time, it's not designed that way. I have that planned for secrets (ref https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis/issues/103) but haven't really thought about environment variables.

One of the challenges being that env is supported in matrix builds. I suppose I could allow:

env:
  global:
    - MY_VAR=xyz

From the environment matrix to pass variables. More research would be required to support something like this.

I’ve been using this in production for several years and I plan to implement support for it through https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis/issues/144. This would be launching a shell and getting the same toolchain environment in a Jenkinsfile.

Hi @samrocketman , by any chance is this feature implemented ? :) do you need help with this?

[samrocketman]

@tairov you're welcome to try if you want. My current focus is multiplatform support with the 2.1 release.

I will plan to do this for 2.2 release
