[FIXED] Set environment variables from shell script in jenkins

Issue

I am trying to automate my build using Jenkins. My build process needs to execute three different shell scripts. The first script sets some environment variables which is used by the second and the third scripts. I am trying with a pipeline job in Jenkins where each script is executed stage by stage. However I am unable to get the environment variables from the first script to the next one.

NB: There is a set of variables that are being set.So I don't feel like using a simple variable will do.

Please help

Solution

You are probably confusing declarative pipeline with scripted pipeline

Jenkinsfile (Declarative Pipeline)

pipeline {
agent any

environment {
    DISABLE_AUTH = 'true'
    DB_ENGINE    = 'sqlite'
}

stages {
    stage('Build') {
        steps {
            sh 'printenv'
        }
    }
  }
}

Jenkinsfile (Scripted Pipeline)

node {
withEnv(['DISABLE_AUTH=true',
         'DB_ENGINE=sqlite']) {
    stage('Build') {
        sh 'printenv'
    }
  }
}
