Jenkins pass json file to triggered downstream job

Question

I have a job that has a json file in its parameters. I have this job trigger another job and it needs to pass the parameters. I have 'Current build parameters' enabled, but it does not pass files. How can I get it to pass the json file to the triggered job.

I did have this working before, we were on 2016 verion of jenkins and recently upgraded to 2.286.

Answer 1

I'm not sure about the breaking change that your Jenkins might have experienced, but as a workaround, you can assign a global environment variable in Configure Jenkins to point a path to your JSON file.

That variable will be accessible to all jobs, and they can easily refer to it.

Answer 2

For every matching file, invoke one build worked to pass the file. Just typed in the name of the file that I have in the parameters
