I have a secret key stored in Jenkins Secret String.
I am trying to set it as environment variable, however, it doesn't work
withCredentials([string(credentialsId: 'SECRET_KEY', variable: 'SECRET_KEY')]) {
sh '''
echo "SECRET_KEY: $SECRET_KEY"
export SECRET_KEY="$SECRET_KEY"
'''
echo "SECRET_KEY: ${env.SECRET_KEY}"
}
echo "SECRET_KEY: ${env.SECRET_KEY}"
Whenever inside of withCredentials
, variable is available, however, outside of that scope it gots reset to null
value
Actually, I have found a way to get access to environment variable across the steps and stages.
Instead of using
withCredentials
I should actually use credentials
helper method
def call(String startParam) {
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
SECRET_KEY = credentials('SECRET_KEY')
}
