How to read properties file from Jenkins 2.0 pipeline script

Question

I am attempting to write a pipeline script to use with Jenkins 2.0 to replicate our existing build. This original build used the envInject plugin to read a Java properties

Answer 1

Use:

def props = readProperties file: 'config/general.properties'

In case your properties file located in Groovy Library, and source code located in different place, you should use the Resources folder from the Groovy Library.

Hence add below line:

--> def propFileContent = libraryResource 'config/general.properties'
    def props = readProperties text: propFileContent

Notes:

• "config" is some folder inside 'resources' folder

• pay attention, in first places used word "file:", in second used "text:"
