I'm not sure how the Copy Artifact Plugin will do any good. The problem is the artifacts I want aren't in the workspace or easily available. What I did figure out is that I do know where the artifacts are located, and I could specify that directory. Yeah, I ran into the problem that BUILD_ID and JOB_NAME are no longer the standard Jenkins job name and build id. The promotion build plugin took them over. There's no documentation in the plugin itself, but it is on the Wiki (which I didn't see until you pointed them out. What I did do is print out all the environment variables and discovered them. There are six of them: PROMOTED_ID: old BUILD_ID PROMOTED_JOB_NAME: old JOB_NAME PROMOTED_NUMBER: old BUILD_NUMBER PROMOTED_SVN_REVISION: old SVN_REVISION PROMOTED_SVN_URL: old SVN_URL PROMOTED_URL: old BUILD_URL The following have been taken over by the promotion plugin: BUILD_ID: (Now the promotion ID) BUILD_NUMBER: (Now the promotion number) BUILD_TAG (Now "jenkins-<PROMOTED_JOB_NAME>-promotion-<Description>-<Promotion #> BUILD_URL (Now URL to promotion) JOB_URL (Now the promotion root URL) The following are no longer defined: SVN_REVISION SVN_URL I have no idea what happens to the NODE_LABELS and NODE_NAME, but I assume these have been replaced by the promotion plugin. Hope this helps those who need this plugin. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
