Using variables created inside other job build inside on Jenkinsfile

Question

I need to read some vars created inside another job. Easier to be explain with pseudo code: my job:

{
build job:"create cluster" //this job will create some vars (cluster_name)
//used this var from my job
echo "${cluster_name}"
}

The best will be with declarative pipelines but I can always use script {}

Firstly in your create cluster job you need to put that variable into environment variable. You can do it this way

//create cluster Jenkinsfile
env.CLUSTER_NAME = cluster_name

Then in your upstream job you can receive that variable using a result of build step.

def result = build job: 'create cluster'
echo result.buildVariables.CLUSTER_NAME

Working perfect :) is there a way to do that in declarative pipelines? – Guel135 May 22 '18 at 09:27
@Guel135 you can use [script {}](https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#script) to include this code in declarative pipeline. – Vitalii Vitrenko May 22 '18 at 09:41
This I know it, but for make it cleaner, nevermind, thanks and now it is working – Guel135 May 22 '18 at 09:49
