Pipeline when condition issue

[MDKF]

Hi All,

 I have the following pipeline. I don't expect the steps in the when condition to run, but they are. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? (I know using an expression instead of a simple equals is overkill, but this is a simplified example to show my issue)

-Michael

pipeline {

 // Discarded: Promote Builds When...

 agent any

 environment {

Development = true

}

 stages {

    stage('test') {

    when {

        not {

            expression {

                Development == ~/(?i)(1|Y|YES|T|TRUE|ON|RUN)/

            }

        }

   }

   steps {

       echo 'Development is false'

    }

 }

 }

}

I think the problem is with your regex match. Based on http://mrhaki.blogspot.com/2009/09/groovy-goodness-matchers-for-regular.html, it looks like the operator to use is `==~`, but you have `== ~` with a space.

The stage is skipped correctly if I use `Development ==~ /(?i)(1|Y|YES|T|TRUE|ON|RUN)/` (remove the space before the ~).
