Call parameterized Jenkins pipeline from another pipeline

Question

There is any way to trigger a pipeline job from another pipeline with parameters, i already tried

build job: '/myjob', parameters: [string(name: 'param1', value:'val1')], wait: false

also tried

build job: 'myjob', parameters: [string(name: 'param1', value:'val1')], wait: false

and

build job: 'myjob', parameters: [[$class: 'StringParameterValue', name: 'param1', value: 'val1']], wait: false

with no luck, it says:

Item type does not support parameters

Are you sur your pipeline 'myjob' is located at root path ? if both pipelines are in same view you can build the second just with the name : build job: 'myjob' — Franck Cussac

i tried both ways, using myjob and /myjob on every scenario it always says Item type does not support parameters even when i have the 'myjob' pipeline parameterized — bitgandtter

Since the subjob was another multibranch pipeline project i needed to specify the branch i wanted to run so with

build job: 'myjob/master', parameters: [string(name: 'param1', value:'val1')], wait: false

it now works

The below worked for me in order to pass parameters "test_1" and "test_2" from pipeline "master" to pipeline "sub-1"

In the master pipeline

build job: 'sub-1', parameters: [[$class: 'StringParameterValue', name: 'test_1', value: 'nameValue'], [$class: 'StringParameterValue', name: 'test_2', value: 'valueValue']], wait: true

In the sub pipeline "sub-1" use by referencing the "params" variable

node { echo params.test_1 echo params.test_2 }

Depending on your Jenkins job / pipeline structure, you should prefix the job with "../" e.g.:

build job: '../myjob/master', parameters: [string(name: 'param1', value:'val1')], wait: false
