Question

I am having trouble accessing the jenkins global password as an environment variable in powershell. I have done the following. Not sure what else I am missing.

Answer 1

In our build we use it the following way (actual code):

$deploymentdir = $env:VC_RES + "\azure"
. ".\src\Extensions\Setup\VirtoCommerce.PowerShell\deploy-tfs.ps1" -deployment $deploymentdir -solutiondir $env:WORKSPACE

and then pass $deploymentdir as a parameter to ps1, works fine.

The environment variable VC_RES is configured under "Manage Jenkins"->Global Properties. There is a checkbox next to "Environment Variables" and we set those in there. The WORKSPACE variable is set by jenkins itself.
