Groovy script with Jenkins for Downstream Parameters
groovy, jenkins, jenkins-plugins
Solution
Got this fixed by placing the Jenkins-core.jar into the groovy lib directory and changing the Build type to `Execute system Groovy Script`
Problem
In Jenkins, I am trying to pass parameters into my Downstream jobs for the build pipeline using the Groovy script. In my first job, I have added a Build step "Execute Groovy Script" and added the content into the Groovy Command: ``` import hudson.model.* import hudson.util.* def thr = Thread.currentThread() def build = thr?.executable printf "Setting UPSTREAM_ID as "+ build.getEnvVars()['BUILD_ID'] +"\n" ; build.addAction(new ParametersAction(new StringParameterValue('UPSTREAM_ID', build.getEnvVars()['BUILD_ID']))) ``` I get the output: ``` [workspace] $ C:\Progra~1\Groovy\Groovy-1.5.8\bin\groovy.exe d:\JenkinsAT\jobs\Test_Job\workspace\hudson8779135058472653024.groovy org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, D:\JenkinsAT\jobs\Test_Job\workspace\hudson8779135058472653024.groovy: 6: unable to resolve class ParametersAction @ line 6, column 17. build.addAction(new ParametersAction(new StringParameterValue('SVN_UPSTREAM', build.getEnvVars()['BUILD_ID']))) ^ D:\JenkinsAT\jobs\Test_Job\workspace\hudson8779135058472653024.groovy: 6: unable to resolve class StringParameterValue @ line 6, column 38. build.addAction(new ParametersAction(new StringParameterValue('SVN_UPSTREAM', build.getEnvVars()['BUILD_ID']))) ^ 2 errors ``` I have installed Groovy 1.5.8 on my machine and my Jenkins Version is 1.519. What wrong I am doing here.
