Hey Micheal, here is how i did it:
i wanted to change my build name to our mercurial change set name, so i did this: 1. used the hg command to get the change set name: 123:abcdefghi 2. used a shell to echo the name i wanted to a file like so: 3. echo 123:abcdefghi > /tmp/workspace/changeset.properties 4. in the job configuration inject environment variables section i added /tmp/workspace/hgchangeset.properties to the text field and viola hope that helps xterm On Tuesday, October 30, 2012 8:10:38 AM UTC-5, Michael Hüttermann wrote: > > Hello, > > could you please give me a pointer what the recommended way is to set > environment variables in hudson.tasks.Builder#perform, which are in turn > read in a later build step inside the same job? > > > Thank you. > > > Cheers > Michael >
