If you are playing with Jenkins, one of the first things that you might be asking yourself is how to get the default Jenkins environment variables. It’s simple and easy, so let’s jump to the Solution part.

Prerequisites

Solution

Step 1. The easiest way to obtain the Jenkins environment variables is the Jenkins env variables html page.

If Jenkins is installed locally:

http://localhost:8080/env-vars.html

Step 2. To get specific environment variables you can create a new Jenkins job, by selecting the Execute shell in the ` Build` section.

echo "BUILD_ID" :: $BUILD_ID
echo "BUILD_NUMBER" :: $BUILD_NUMBER
echo "BUILD_TAG" :: $BUILD_TAG
echo "BUILD_DISPLAY_NAME" :: $BUILD_DISPLAY_NAME
echo "EXECUTOR_NUMBER" :: $EXECUTOR_NUMBER
echo "JOB_NAME" :: $JOB_NAME
echo "JOB_BASE_NAME" :: $JOB_BASE_NAME
echo "JENKINS_HOME" :: $JENKINS_HOME
echo "JENKINS_URL" :: $JENKINS_URL
echo "NODE_NAME" :: $NODE_NAME
echo "NODE_LABELS" :: $NODE_LABELS
