In Jenkins, I want to get a user input and pass to a shell script for further use.
I tried to set as environment variable, but the shell script failed to get the latest value and the old value is echo.
pipeline {
agent none
environment{
myVar='something_default'
}
stages {
stage('First stage') {
agent none
steps{
echo "update myVar by user input"
script {
test = input message: 'Hello',
ok: 'Proceed?',
parameters: [
string(name: 'input', defaultValue: 'update it!', description: '')
]
myVar = "${test['input']}"
}
echo "${myVar}" // value is updated
}
}
stage('stage 2') {
agent any
steps{
echo "${myVar}" // try to see can myVar pass between stage and it output expected value
sh("./someShell.sh") // the script just contain a echo e.g. echo "myVar is ${myVar}"
// it echo the old value. i.e.something_default
}
}
}
}
