Blocker We have a Jenkins job that calls MSBuild as an 'Execute Windows batch command' with a call along these lines:
\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe "C:\Builds\workspace\MySoftwre.sln" /p:Configuration=Release
I have a post-build event that we intended to use to publish results including the SHA-1 from our Git repo. It would appear that the Git plugin isn't forwarding that information though because when we try and output the following:
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_COMMIT: $(GIT_COMMIT)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_BRANCH: $(GIT_BRANCH)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT: $(GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT: $(GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_URL: $(GIT_URL)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_URL_1: $(GIT_URL_1)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_URL_2: $(GIT_URL_2)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_URL_3: $(GIT_URL_3)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_AUTHOR_NAME: $(GIT_AUTHOR_NAME)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_COMMITTER_NAME: $(GIT_COMMITTER_NAME)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL: $(GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL)
ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL: $(GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL)
ECHO Workspace: %WORKSPACE%
I get this output:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_COMMIT:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_BRANCH:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_URL:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_URL_1:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_URL_2:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_URL_3:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_AUTHOR_NAME:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_COMMITTER_NAME:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL:
Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL:
Jenkins Workspace: /Builds/workspace
So it looks to me like ( contrary to the documentation on the wiki page - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin ) the jenkins-git plugin environment variables aren't being forwarded.
[JENKINS-34477] Git plugin environment variables are not accessible
I just tried a rebuild after manually adding the following to the 'Execute Windows Batch Comman' section of the Jenkins config:
ECHO Jenkins WORKSPACE: %WORKSPACE% ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_COMMIT: %GIT_COMMIT% ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_BRANCH: %GIT_BRANCH%
...but I still don't see the output for the Git plugin variables whereas the Jenkins ones appear to work just fine:
ECHO Jenkins WORKSPACE: /Builds/workspace ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_COMMIT: ECHO Jenkins Git Plugin GIT_BRANCH:

added a comment - I take it back; I'd been mislead by my team as to how this had been set up and it turns out the Git plugin wasn't being used at this point in the build chain.
Apologies for the noise.

I believe you need to use DOS style references, surrounding the name of the environment variable with the percent character.
When I did that, this was the job output:
