Set project version in Jenkins Pipeline with the Artifactory Gradle plugin

Question

We want to define the project version for our Gradle project during the build of our project in the Jenkins pipeline, which will include a timestamp and a git-commit-id. (20180625180158-b8ad8df0dc0356a91707eaa241de7d62df6a29f2)

void defineVersion() {
sh "git rev-parse HEAD > .git/commit-id"
commitId = readFile('.git/commit-id')
timestamp =  getCurrentTimestamp()
version = timestamp+'-'+commitId
}

This function will determine the version I want to publish our artifact with. Next I use the Artifactory Gradle plugin to publish, but I can't find a way to set/override the project version. I want the jar to be published with version 20180625180158-b8ad8df0dc0356a91707eaa241de7d62df6a29f2

version = defineVersion() // how can we incorperate this version in our gradle build/publish?

gradleBuild = Artifactory.newGradleBuild()
gradleBuild.useWrapper = true
gradleBuild.deployer(
        repo: env.BRANCH_NAME == 'master' ? 'libs-releases-local' : 'libs-snapshots-local',
        server: Artifactory.server('artifactory-global'))

gradleBuild.run tasks: 'clean build artifactoryPublish'

How can we achieve this? Also I would like to pass other parameters like -x test to the run command to skip tests in this stage.

Apparently you can add parameters throug the switches parameter: https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/artifactory/

With this you add the necessary parameters like '-x test -Pversion=' + version

For my use case I added a version property to my build.gradle: version = "${version}" so it can be overridden with the command above.
