Environment variables cross references aren't supported

Issue Type:	Bug
Assignee:	Andrew Bayer
Components:	pipeline-model-definition-plugin
Created:	2017/Feb/06 9:08 AM
Priority:	Major
Reporter:	Arnaud Héritier

Unlike documented here https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-model-definition-plugin/wiki/Syntax-Reference such sample doesn't work

 
                                                                    environment {
        FOO = "bar"
        OTHER = "${FOO}baz"
    }

Firstly ${FOO} cannot work it is a groovy variable and it should be escaped

 
                                                                OTHER = "\${FOO}baz"

or

 
                                                                OTHER = '${FOO}baz'

And even by escaping it it's not working

and we have

 
                                                                [declarative-pipeline] Running shell script
+ printenv
...
OTHER=nullbaz
...
FOO=bar
...
 
                                                            

note that FOO is seen as null which makes no sense in shell env (it should be empty if unknown.

cc Andrew Bayer Jesse Glick rsandell (should it be considered as a bug ? Or an improvement to do ?)

Re: Environment variables cross references aren't supported

does

environment

{ FOO = "bar" OTHER = "$FOObaz" }

work? since that should be fixed in the latest pipeline release iirc.

Re: Environment variables cross references aren't supported

nope.

 
                                                                [Pipeline] End of Pipeline
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: FOObaz for class: groovy.lang.Binding
	at groovy.lang.Binding.getVariable(Binding.java:63)

It tries to find a groovy FOObaz var

I'm attaching the job config file to easily reproduce it
