Creating Environment variables in Jenkins

up vote 2 down vote accepted

I confirm that you can use the EnvInject plugin with a Groovy script: Here is the Groovy script: // Generate a global BUILD_ID_LONG variable with date and time // ======================================= TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone('UTC')) def now = new Date() def map = [BUILD_ID_LONG: now.format("yyyyMMdd_HHmm")] return map Next, you can use the ${BUILD_ID_LONG} variable in your build steps.
