Jenkins / JENKINS-52889 new lines in secret is substituted by spaces when reading via Vault plugin

Change By: Hee Won Kim

When I read secrets using Vault Plugin from both Freestyle and Pipeline jobs, if secrets contains new lines e.g. '\n'. it gets substituted to space characters.

In actual contents in the secret: {quote}multi lines contents second lines {quote} In vault JSON: { quote}{ "key1": "multi lines contents\nsecond lines"} {quote}

when it's been read from Vault plugin to a job,

{quote} "multi lines contents second lines" {quote}

Please let me know if you need further detail.   Thanks in advanced.

Re: new lines in secret is substituted by spaces when reading via Vault plugin Same for me, looks like it's unable to work with certificates stored as secrets using this plugin without additional formatting.

Re: new lines in secret is substituted by spaces when reading via Vault plugin

[~saillinux] you should iclude include the actual shell script lines you are running.   I hit the same issue and debugged the plugin. Things are received from Vault with the "\n" preserved as far as I could see, so I looked into issues with the printing of it. The issue arises because of the command substitution in bash [http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_06_03] and you can fix that by setting {{IFS=}} as per [https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/164508/why-do-newline-characters-get-lost-when-using-command-substitution]   BUT its easier to just embed it in double quotes so that: if I do this it is replaced by spaces {code:java} echo $FOO > .foo{code} but if I do this instead it works {code:java} echo "$FOO" > .foo{code} then the newlines are preserved
