How to use local variable value in bat statement in Jenkins pipeline

[Yogesh Bhole]

Hello,

I use bat command in Jenkins pipeline which launches MSBUild. But the parameter used namely "buildconfiguration" is not expanded. You may ignore error solution file not found. What I want to use the command executed the value of varibale "buildconfiguration"

Anyone has a solution for this.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards !

Pipeline code

---------------

def buildconfiguration = 'Debug'

node('master')

{

  stage('one')

  {

    bat '"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\\MSbuild\\14.0\\bin\\MSBuild.exe" Tools\\MailboxRefill\\Mailbox.sln /property:Configuration=${buildconfiguration} /target:Build /nologo /clp:ErrorsOnly /verbosity:minimal /p:RunCodeAnalysis=false /p:WarningLevel=1'

  }     

    

}

Output

----------

[Pipeline] node

Running on master in D:\Software\Z-Tools\TestPipeline

[Pipeline] stage

[Pipeline] { (one)

[Pipeline] bat

Problem here is command uses ${buildconfiguration} instead of value of buildconfiguration variable. How to solve this ?

You need to use double quotes for groovy to replace the variable in the string.

bat "\"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\\MSbuild\\14.0\\bin\\MSBuild.exe\" Tools\\MailboxRefill\\Mailbox.sln /property:Configuration=${buildconfiguration} /target:Build /nologo /clp:ErrorsOnly /verbosity:minimal /p:RunCodeAnalysis=false /p:WarningLevel=1"

String interpolation only works with double quoted strings.
