So i have Java Maven project with Selenium.

This protect is hosted on GitHub and i also have Jenkis job that run this test every night.

Because my test require to login to specific WebSite i need to provide the credential (email address and password):

emailaddress="myemailaddress@gmail.com"
password="mypassword"

so i create config.properties file inside my Intellij and load this credential from this file.

Now because i hosted my project in free account i want to find a way the not everyone could see this credential and still be able to run my tests every night.

Any idea how to do that ?

you can create variables in jenkins(like environmental variables) and use it. And this can be access controlled, based on user permissions – pvpkiran Aug 24 '18 at 08:16
I probably need to get this variables from Jenkins in my code , can i have code example ? – Erofh Tor Aug 24 '18 at 08:18

And how to get this credentials from my code ? – Erofh Tor Aug 24 '18 at 09:37
Create the credentials in the credentials store of Jenkins and use them in your build..no property files etc. are need. Best avoid them... – khmarbaise Aug 24 '18 at 14:53
Hi Erofh. How are you executing your selenium project from jenkins? plugin? simple shell commands? – JRichardsz Aug 24 '18 at 17:02
Using "invoke top level maven targets" – Erofh Tor Aug 24 '18 at 19:02
How? pipeline script, declarative script, execute shell option? – JRichardsz Aug 24 '18 at 21:48
Well until now i just click on build now button... – Erofh Tor Aug 25 '18 at 03:50
