Various notes

Default shell environment valuables

see <yourserver:port>/env-vars.html

The following variables are available to shell scripts

  • BUILD_NUMBER The current build number, such as "153"
  • BUILD_ID The current build ID, identical to BUILD_NUMBER for builds created in 1.597+, but a YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss timestamp for older builds
  • BUILD_DISPLAY_NAME The display name of the current build, which is something like "#153" by default.
  • JOB_NAME Name of the project of this build, such as "foo" or "foo/bar". (To strip off folder paths from a Bourne shell script, try: ${JOB_NAME##*/})
  • BUILD_TAG String of "jenkins-${JOB_NAME}-${BUILD_NUMBER}". Convenient to put into a resource file, a jar file, etc for easier identification.
  • EXECUTOR_NUMBER The unique number that identifies the current executor (among executors of the same machine) that’s carrying out this build. This is the number you see in the "build executor status", except that the number starts from 0, not 1.
  • NODE_NAME Name of the slave if the build is on a slave, or "master" if run on master
  • NODE_LABELS Whitespace-separated list of labels that the node is assigned.
  • WORKSPACE The absolute path of the directory assigned to the build as a workspace.
  • JENKINS_HOME The absolute path of the directory assigned on the master node for Jenkins to store data.
  • JENKINS_URL Full URL of Jenkins, like http://server:port/jenkins/ (note: only available if Jenkins URL set in system configuration)
  • BUILD_URL Full URL of this build, like http://server:port/jenkins/job/foo/15/ (Jenkins URL must be set)
  • JOB_URL Full URL of this job, like http://server:port/jenkins/job/foo/ (Jenkins URL must be set)
  • SVN_REVISION Subversion revision number that's currently checked out to the workspace, such as "12345"
  • SVN_URL Subversion URL that's currently checked out to the workspace.
