Hey there, I haven't been able to figure this out hopefully somebody on the list has already solved that problem!
Here we go: I have a Maven project with git as the SCM and I need to pass a variable to the "Goal and options" in the build step to the -P flag (profiles), the value of that variable is computed using maven command line interface "mvn help:[...]grep[...]awk[...]pipes[...]" on the latest commit. When building using mvn in a shell I have a one liner shell script,which I will call ONELINER to simplify, and so it's just a matter of running mvn clean install -P$(ONELINER). I have not been able to reproduce this using Jenkins... I have tried the EnvInject plugin to run my one liner as pre build step but then I'm hitting this issue https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-14193 . It seems my main problem is that I need to run my one liner after an SCM poll but before the build step. So far my workaround is to create a properties file in my SCM with the pre computed value (the result of the one liner using a git hook) and then call that properties file using the EnvInj plugin "Build Environment Inject environment variables to the build process"; I would call the script from there unfortunately this is ran _before_ an SCM checkout when I need to run the oneliner on the latest commit. I feel like I'm missing something rather obvious, am I? Thanks for reading, any input greatly appreciated. J.
