Multi-line, concatenated-string values aren't parsed/passed in/to "environment" variable

Issue Type:	Bug
Assignee:	Andrew Bayer
Components:	pipeline-model-definition-plugin
Created:	2017/Mar/16 7:54 PM
Environment:	Jenkins 2.32.2 Pipeline Model Definition Plugin 1.1.1 (and all associated/dependent plugins, same/greater versions)
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	Stephen Donner

Given the following snippet of a Jenkinsfile:

environment

{ PYTEST_ADDOPTS = "-n=10 " + "--color=yes " + "--tb=short " + "--driver=SauceLabs " + "--variables=capabilities.json" }

When trying to run the above, we get:

Actual Results:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
WorkflowScript: 19: Environment variable values must either be strings or function calls. @ line 19, column 5.
PYTEST_ADDOPTS =
^

The workaround is to do:

environment

{ PYTEST_ADDOPTS = "-n=10 --color=yes --tb=short --driver=SauceLabs --variables=capabilities.json" }
