Jenkins pipeline - Export env variable to be used as test url












0















The current setup:





  1. DevRepo1 gets built in Jenkins at PR (C# server side, Angular for Front-End)

  2. One of the stages is to trigger another Jenkins job that will run the automation integration and UI tests from AutoRepo1 (NodeJS for both integration/API tests, Protractor for UI ones)

  3. If everything passes, PR can be merged into the DevRepo1/staging branch

  4. QA Manual team can start validating their test cases


This worked as a charm so far, until now when we have added a new environment, integration, where we want to run the integration/API tests as well so that the devs have a safety net and commit new changes more often.



This adds the need to determine on what environment I need to run my tests, depending on the Upstream job that triggers automation tests.



What I tried:



stage ('Get env') {
steps {
script {
PARENT_UPSTREAM_CAUSE = currentBuild.rawBuild.getCause(hudson.model.Cause$UpstreamCause)?.properties?.upstreamProject
if(PARENT_UPSTREAM_CAUSE != null) {
BRANCH_ENV = PARENT_UPSTREAM_CAUSE.substring(PARENT_UPSTREAM_CAUSE.indexOf('/') + 1);
println "Branch environment: ${BRANCH_ENV}"

environment {
TEST_ENVIRONMENT = BRANCH_ENV
}

sh """#!/bin/bash
set -e
printenv
"""
}
}
}
}


Because the upstream job that triggers the automated tests is DevRepo1/staging or DevRepo1/integration the BRANCH_ENV variable will have the value staging or integration.



Now, I want to export this as an environment variable that I will later on read it in my NodeJS tests and construct the API endpoints depending on the environment.



However the printenv shell step is not showing me TEST_ENVIRONMENT set in the environment {} step.



Can someone point me to what I'm missing here and how I can achieve this?
