Jenkins Properties as Environment Variables | Generated by AI

Yes, exactly! In Jenkins, “properties” typically refers to environment variables that are available during a job’s execution.

There are a few ways properties/environment variables work in Jenkins:

1. Environment variables - Jenkins automatically provides built-in variables like BUILD_NUMBER, JOB_NAME, WORKSPACE, etc.

2. Pipeline properties - In declarative pipelines, you can set properties using the environment directive:

   pipeline {
       environment {
           MY_VAR = 'some value'
       }
   }
   

3. Properties file - You can also load properties from a file (like a .properties file) and use them as environment variables in your build.

4. Job parameters - When you configure parameters for a job, they become available as environment variables during execution.

So yes, when people talk about “Jenkins properties” in the context of a running job, they’re generally referring to these environment variables that the job can access and use during its execution.
