How do I pass value from my Fake script to the host build server Jenkins

Question

I have a build process defined in F# Fake script. I'm running this build script on a Jenkins node and everything is great.

However, I want to pass some results out of my script to the Jenkins (or any other build server that runs it).

Specifically, I would like to pass several strings to the Jenkins and use them in the next build step (in Jenkins terms) or in the post-build actions to archive artefacts.

How do I do that?de

You can use the EnvInject plugin to pass environment variables to further steps in a Jenkins build. It's not the best solution, but this is only option available.

You would need your F# code to write a properties file

then create a subsequent build step in Jenkins using the EnvInject plugin to read from that properties file.
