Command not found error on bash build script

[Gouri Nair]

I added a simple if else statement as a part of my bash script.

if [[ $xml_name = "xmlnew" ]]

then

    partnerfolder = "update"

else

    partnerfolder = $partner

fi

and when i run the build job, i get this error.

+ [[ xmlnew = \x\m\l\n\e\w ]]
+ partnerfolder = update
/tmp/hudson3128957863523275001.sh: line 21: partnerfolder: command not found
Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE

Can someone tell me what could be wrong?

There are other jobs running on the same jenkins with if-else statements and they seem to be working. Please help!!

Has absolutely nothing to do with Jenkins. It's just invalid bash syntax. Get rid of the space around the '=' char.

In the future, try whether what you're doing works outside Jenkins before asking for help. If it doesn't work there either, it's likely unrelated to JEnkins.

then

. . .

 

Why do you have spaces around the assignment operator?  That’s not legal in bash or any other normal shell language.

Thank you. I will keep that in mind.

Thank you. I will get rid of the spaces. I am new to bash scripting hence i made that mistake.
