use Standard GoCD environment variables in gocd pipeline task

[Martin c]

Is it possible to use the Standard GoCD environment variables in a gocd pipeline? I'm trying to use it in a task e.g. $GO_PIPELINE_COUNTER or %GO_PIPELINE_COUNTER% but can't get it to work

What type of task are you using? I think you have to use a *bash* task and pass it in as part of the arguments section. Does this help? https://docs.gocd.org/current/faq/dev_use_current_revision_in_build.html

it's a custom task command running curl and I need to pass the variable as one of the arguments

e.g. 

command: curl

arguments: zyx<GO_PIPELINE_COUNTER var>

even doing something like

command: sh

arguments: -c

curl xyz $GO_PIPELINE_COUNTER

doesn't work

It seems like that page is exactly what you need. Is it not working? Do you get an error message? What does the task and output look like?

sorry should have mentioned, it gets replaced with ${env.GO_PIPELINE_COUNTER} and not the actual counter value

That looks right to me, but I'm very new to GoCD and might be out of my league on this one. Did you try putting your arguments all on one line and not having a return in it? "-c curl xyz $GO_PIPELINE_COUNTER"

Did you test with an environment variable that you defined?

Maybe try testing with a script too, instead of writing it out in the arguments box?
