When writing a script that is run by Jenkins Groovy Plugin as a build step (Execute System Groovy Script) one can specify 'variable bindings'. The helpline says: Define varibale bingings (in the properties file format). Spefified variables can be addressed from the script. [sic] How do I access those variables from the script? They are not set as environment variables for the build, neither are they present among System properties.

this.getBinding().getVariables()
or simply binding.variables

binding.varaibles is a java.util.Map object (keyed by variable names).foo=bar in your variable bindings, you can get bar by running binding.variables.get('foo').I wasn't able to use binding.variables directly, I only got listener, build, launcher and out from binding.variables.
Instead I was able to use build.environment(listener) to retrieve the environment variables as suggested in the responses to this question: Access to build environment variables from a groovy script in a Jenkins build step ( Windows)
def config = new HashMap() config.putAll(binding.variables) def logger = config['out'] def envvars = new HashMap() envvars.putAll(build.getEnvironment(listener)) def myvar= envvars['myvar'] This might have been different for me since I am only looking for system-wide environmental variables:
