Hello,

in Jenkins, I have two jobs:

• one freestyle named foo, which calls a shell script which does echo $BUILD_ID
• one workflow job

When trigerring the job foo from the workflow, it is not possible to get the env vars the build had. For example, if I do

def foo = build 'foo'
echo foo.buildVariables
echo foo.rawBuild.envVars

Then I only get null. However, it is possible, from the script console to get those variables using

def build = Jenkins.getInstance().getItemByFullName("foo").getBuildByNumber(6)
build.getEnvVars()

I get

Result: {BUILD_DISPLAY_NAME=#6, BUILD_ID=6, BUILD_NUMBER=6, BUILD_TAG=jenkins-foo-6, BUILD_URL=http://localhost:8080/job/foo/6/, CLASSPATH=, HUDSON_HOME=/****/jenkins-home, HUDSON_SERVER_COOKIE=****, HUDSON_URL=http://localhost:8080/, JENKINS_HOME=/****/jenkins-home, JENKINS_SERVER_COOKIE=****, JENKINS_URL=http://localhost:8080/, JOB_NAME=foo, JOB_URL=http://localhost:8080/job/foo/, WORKSPACE=/****/jenkins-home/jobs/foo/workspace}

The call to foo.getBuildVariables() return an empty map, but not null, as it is in the workflow.

The workflow is not sandboxed so the foo.rawBuild is a Run object as in the script console. The two code should return the exact same result, don't you think?
