Hello!

We use a self-written plugin to standardize Gradle builds. If necessary, small modifications are made to settings.gradle during runtime. This happens in the SCMListener by extending it.

Now we are also looking for a solution how to inject credentials as environment variable.  
Using this doc ([Build (Jenkins core 2.404 API)](https://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/model/Build.html)) we have already tried to solve this in the BuildWrapper via ProcessBuilder, so far no success…

Is there any solution for that?

Thanks  
Marco

Hello @mohanisch and welcome back 👋

Have you thought of using [Credentials Binding](https://plugins.jenkins.io/credentials-binding/) ?
