Password Parameter not masked in Console output

[lfast]

I'm trying to use Password Parameter and Mask Passwords to prevent the password from appearing in the console log. However it still appears.  Global config for Mask Passwords has Password Parameter checked.

Password Param = my_pwd   value=hello world

Script:

   echo $my_pwd

Console Output:

echo hello world

hello world

Hi, seems normal to me, don't do echo on it. 

If you just use the variable, you'll see its value won't get renderer like the others.

Cheers

Let me try again:

Script:
any_command -p $my_pwd

Console Output:

any_command -p the_password_I_typed

error: any_command not found

The password is still displayed.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "just use the variable."  Is masking the use of $my_pwd not supported?

Not sure about your exact command but adding `set +x` on top of "Execute shell" should block most of what is displayed in the logs. AFAIK the password variable is used as any other variable. There doesn't seem to be any special behaviour around it.

There are a few plugins that handle the masking of passwords.

Take a look at https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Mask+Passwords+Plugin Iirc there is also another plugin.
