How do we it in groovy script Or How do we access shell variable x in groovy script?

Answer 1

you can't access them directly, but according to the reference you can catch stdout from your sh step:

node{
    def xx = sh(returnStdout:true, script:"""
        x=${env.j_properties_file}
        echo \${x}
    """)

    echo "the shell output = ${xx}"
}
