Passing variables to commit message via gerrit command line

[Gaurav Negi]

Dear All,

  I want to pass some message, having variables (say $SOME_VARIABLE) to a gerrit commit

I am using this

   ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 29418 jen...@gerrit.eng.com gerrit review --message '"${SOME_VARIABLE}"'   $GERRIT_PATCHSET_REVISION

However in commit it is coming as ${SOME_VARIABLE} and not expanding its value.

Any idea, how can this be fixed?

Thanks

-Gaurav

Shell expansions don't take place inside single quotes. Make the string
double-quoted instead:

ssh ... gerrit review --message "${SOME_VARIABLE}"
