Calling a downstream job with parameters

This section describes how to call a downstream job with parameters.

Method

Use a publishers{} method to define a post-build action.

You can trigger the next job as a post-build action using a downstreamParameterized{} method.

The following snippet should be placed inside the job definition:

    publishers {
        archiveArtifacts("**/*")
        downstreamParameterized {
            trigger(projectFolderName + "/Reference_Application_Unit_Tests") {
                condition("UNSTABLE_OR_BETTER")
                parameters {
                    predefinedProp("B", '${BUILD_NUMBER}')
                    predefinedProp("PARENT_BUILD", '${JOB_NAME}')
                }
            }
        }
    }

Properties

• trigger(String project)

  Triggers the job specified inside the parentheses.

• parameters{}

  Encloses the parameter definitions for the job to trigger.

• predefinedProp(String key, String value)

  Adds a parameter.
