Use Properties file for Extended Choice parameters in Jenkins job | Read values from property file

[@ammarahmed9830]

can we write in property file as well?

[@manikandan16dec]

Thanks Bro. I have a question. Why are you using the property file from your local computer? What will happen if someone else in the team want to add two more values to that property file?

[@AJAUTOMATION]

Yes you can keep it in gitlab repo and copy it to remote location machine on a server, that path of file you can give in the Jenkins. Make sure that path of file is accessible to jenkins, your devOps team can help to setup this... If you want to keep it common across all the Jenkins jobs, above will work. Store separately if you want to make it static for jenkins job.

Hi, Very informative. I have a question, can we specify the path of file in git instead of giving the system location of property file?

[@AJAUTOMATION]

Yes we can do that...

​@@AJAUTOMATION any idea when I give properties file path from git repo - it gives a error- config.properties doesnt seem to exist.

Hi Sir, My requirement is to reflect values from property file based on the choice option. Like if choice=A ==> Reflect A1,A2,A3 (from property file) & choice=B ==> Reflect B1,B2,B3 (from property file). How to configure this ? Kindly help to explain once !!

Need to check if active choice parameters help to achieve this

Hi , I have a question. I need a textbox where either user can input data or he can select from active choice parameters. How can we achieve this?

[@AJAUTOMATION]

Understand u r requirements but with current available jenkins features we can have one at a time either input or pick from predefined drop down values.
