BUILD NUMBER is the current build number  You can use it in the command you execute for the job  or just use it in the script your job executes   See the Jenkins documentation for the full list of available environment variables  The list is also available from within your Jenkins instance at http   hostname jenkins env-vars html

I ve just come across this question too and found out that if anytime the build number gets corrupt because of any error-triggered hard shutdown of the jenkins instance you can set back the build number manually by just editing the file nextBuildNumber  pathToJenkins jobs jobxyz nextBuildNumber  and then make a reload by using the option Reload Configuration from Disk from the Manage Jenkins View

Jenkins Pipeline also provides the current build number as the property number of the currentBuild   It can be read as currentBuild number  For example     Scripted pipeline def buildNumber   currentBuild number     Declarative pipeline echo  quot Build number is   currentBuild number  quot   Other properties of currentBuild are described in the Pipeline Syntax  Global Variables page that is included on each Pipeline job page   That page describes the global variables available in the Jenkins instance based on the current plugins
