${CHANGES,showDependencies="true"} not working?

[John Lussmyer]

Im trying to use the text-file-operations plugin to create a file that has the changes for the current build.
I've added the build step (Create/Update Text file) and set the content of the file to be:

Build: ${BUILD_NUMBER}
${CHANGES,showDependencies="true"}
-

The file gets created, the ${BUILD_NUMBER} gets properly substituted, but the CHANGES does not.
Any suggestions on what to change/try next?

BUILD_NUMBER is an environment variable, CHANGES is a token macro. Does the text-file-operations plugin use the token macro plugin to replace things?

Can't tell from the description if it uses the Token Macro Plugin or not.
Sigh, probably doesn't then.

Any suggestions for other techniques to get that information into a simple text file?

Looking at [1] it does not look like token-macro is a dependency, so it definitely does not. I'm not aware of another plugin that does what you want. You might be able to use a script plugin to do it.
