Inline Bash script in shell()

[Misty Stanley-Jones]

Hi all,

I confess I do not know about Groovy at all and have been trying to develop a job DSL by trial and error. I have a seed job that takes parameters, and then kicks off the DSL. I have the variable substitutions working fine, except within the actual shell() clause. What I have is like this:

The environment variables are set like
Build_Object=master
HTML_Map=administration.ditamap
Toolchain=d4p

The shell clause is like this, inside the job definition:

shell('''
#!/bin/bash
./jenkins_build_docs.sh -b ${Build_Object} $FILTER -m ${HTML_Map} -t ${Toolchain}
'''

But within the generated job, the shell script looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
./jenkins_build_docs.sh -b ${Build_Object} -m ${HTML_Map} -t ${Toolchain}

I expect it to look like this:

#!/bin/bash
./jenkins_build_docs.sh -b master -m administration.ditamap -t d4p

Does anybody have any idea about the (probably really silly) thing I am doing wrong?

When pasting into the email, I missed the closing ), but it is there in the script.

Try using """ instead of '''.

That worked great! I did discover that if I had a Bash variable in the shell() (such as $DRAFT), I would have to escape the $ from it like \$DRAFT. This is awesome and means I am 99% of the way to having my DSL working correctly. Thanks so much for your help!
