shell inside a groovy script doesnt resolve variables ?

[b o b i]

I cannot make the executed shell to resolve a predefined variable in my jenkins script.. I tried various syntax approaches w/o succcess. ..

Anybody could give me a hand?

String workspace
String addOn = "Path/To/Cmake.cmake"

node ('slave01') {
    workspace = pwd()
    String addOnAbsPath = "${workspace}/$toolchainCmake"
   
    stage ('Build') {
      
        // for some reason is not recognize, thats why
        sh "echo ${addOnAbsPath}"
        sh '''
            echo Path: '$addOnAbsPath'
           '''
        sh '''#!/bin/bash
           echo ${addOnAbsPath}
           cmake ... -DADD_ON=$addOnAbsPath ...

        '''

    }

}

You might need to set up that variable as an environment variable for the shell to recognize it

Strings using single quotes do not do variable expansion; you must use double quotes to have the variables expand.

So:

'$var' is the literal string $var

"$var" expands to the string value of the variable $var

and the same is true for multi line strings

'''----

$var

----'''

does not expand

"""----

$var

----"""

expands the value of $var
