Variable Expansion

Many of the workspace fields can include environment variables to help define their value. For example: we recommend that the Workspace name uses at least the following variables to help identify your builds:

jenkins-${NODE_NAME}-${JOB_NAME}-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}

• NODE_NAME - Name of the "slave" or "master" the job is built on, such as linux.
• JOB_NAME - Name of the project of this build, such as "foo"
• EXECUTOR_NUMBER - The unique number that identifies the current executor. If the job is called 'foo' and it is built on a slave called 'linux' the variables expand the name to:

  jenkins-linux-foo

  Built in environment variables

  Jenkins provides a set of environment variables. You can also define your own. Here is a list of built in environment variables: BUILD_NUMBER - The current build number. For example "153"
  BUILD_ID - The current build id. For example "2018-08-22_23-59-59"
  BUILD_DISPLAY_NAME - The name of the current build. For example "#153".
  JOB_NAME - Name of the project of this build. For example "foo"
  BUILD_TAG - String of "jenkins-${JOB_NAME}-${BUILD_NUMBER}".
  EXECUTOR_NUMBER - The unique number that identifies the current executor.
  NODE_NAME - Name of the "slave" or "master". For example "linux".
  NODE_LABELS - Whitespace-separated list of labels that the node is assigned.
  WORKSPACE - Absolute path of the build as a workspace.
  JENKINS_HOME - Absolute path on the master node for Jenkins to store data.
  JENKINS_URL - URL of Jenkins. For example http://server:port/jenkins/
  BUILD_URL - Full URL of this build. For example http://server:port/jenkins/job/foo/15/
  JOB_URL - Full URL of this job. For example http://server:port/jenkins/job/foo/

Variables in workspace view and stream paths

The plugin allows the use of environment variables in fields like Workspace view and Stream path. For example:

//depot/main/proj/... //jenkins-${NODE_NAME}-${JOB_NAME}-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}/...

Define your own variables

With a Matrix build you might have defined your own variables like ${OS}. Remember they can be used anywhere in the mapping:

//depot/main/${JOB_NAME}/bin.${OS}/... //jenkins-${NODE_NAME}-${JOB_NAME}-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}-${OS}/bin/${OS}/...
