Passing parameterized build parameter to Jython plugin in Jenkins

Question

I need to

• run a parameterized build
• have Jython script (provided by Jython plugin) to get the parameters (I have defined Jython script as build step in the parameterized build)

In a shell script build step params can easily be accessed using env variables. Do I have to do the same in Jython? (can I do it at all)?

I'm not sure about how you can access the variable from Parameterized parameter in Execute Jython script in Build section but if i run the Jython script in Windows (after selecting Execute Windows batch command option from the dropdown list in Build section), it works fine. Check the snapshots below where i have used Parameterized Trigger Plugin for creating a String Parameter and then using the same in Jython script. It works fine and displays the value of the variable in output.

Here's the sample script i used for accepting parameter:

import sys

for arg in sys.argv:
    print arg 

For *nix environment, you obviously have to select Execute shell in Build section's dropdown list and also change %var% to $var .
