Same here. I have a variable defined as:
DBName=Jenkins${SVN_REVISION}

And after upgrading from 1.0 to 1.40, EnvInject stopped creating the new variable.

Uh, sorry - after reading the latest comments, I need to clarify that I'm trying to get EnvInject to resolve the nested variables, with no luck in 1.40.

Code changed in jenkins

Escaping with a slash is a good idea.
Please upgrade to EnvInject 1.41

HI,
I'm using EnvInject Plugin 1.62 hosted at Cloudbees and I'm having exactly this bug:

[EnvInject] - Variables injected successfully.
[EnvInject] - Unset unresolved 'APACHE_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD' variable.

The parameter APACHE_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD contains a dolalr sign ($) which unfortunately I can't disclose here

(Unless I'm mistaken) I couldn't reproduce this issue, using the following versions:

Jenkins: 1.581
Environment Injector Plugin: 1.90

Looking at the code, the correct way to escape a dollar sign character, is by using two dollar sign characters.

My test:

Properties Content:
test1=C:\DOCUME~1\$NCESE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
test2=\\127.0.0.1\c$\WINDOWS
test3=Pas$word
test4=C:\DOCUME~1\$$NCESE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
test5=\\127.0.0.1\c$$\WINDOWS
test6=Pas$$word

Windows Command:
@echo off
echo %test1%
echo %test2%
echo %test3%
echo %test4%
echo %test5%
echo %test6%

Output:
C:\DOCUME~1\$NCESE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
\\127.0.0.1\c$\WINDOWS
Pas$word
C:\DOCUME~1\$NCESE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
\\127.0.0.1\c$\WINDOWS
Pas$word

Looks correct...

David Baumgold, can you please advise if this issue is still occurring? (and if so plugin version and steps to reproduce).

Can you please check whether this issue is still occurring with recent versions of the plugin?

Hello guys,

I'm using EnvIjnect version : 1.92.1, and I still have the same problem my password is 'AL$$PWS' but when it comes to the output I only get 'AL$PWS'. I've also tried different way to escape none of them work even I tried to put $$$$ but still the output with only one dollar sign.

Thanks

I am using EnvInject version 1.92.1 and also have the same issue.

I am trying to set a variable called DRIVE_LETTER="D$"

How can we properly escape a trailing $ character?

Jenkins Core: 2.12
EnvInject: 1.92.1

I tried the following evaluated groovy script:

switch (ENV) {
        case 'DEV':
		def map = [WEB_SERVER: '<machine name>.', DB_SERVER: '<machine name>', DRIVE_LETTER: 'D$$']
		return map
		break
	case 'TEST':
		def map = [WEB_SERVER: '<machine name>', DB_SERVER: '<machine name>', DRIVE_LETTER: 'D$$']
		return map
		break
default:
		def map = [WEB_SERVER: '', DB_SERVER: '', DRIVE_LETTER: '']
		return map
		break
}

which still didn't work when ENV = 'DEV' or 'TEST'.

[EnvInject] - Injecting contributions.
Building in workspace ...
[EnvInject] - Unset unresolved 'DRIVE_LETTER' variable.

If I downgrade to Jenkins Core 2.11 and run the same code I get the same result.

If I remove the trailing $ from DRIVE_LETTER it works. So that confirms to me that it doesn't like the trailing $ character.

Can anyone assist with how to escape this $ in this context?

On a linux box this can be solved placing #!/bin/bash at the beggining of the properties file.

EDIT: not even the bashline works if the options "keep jenkins enrionment variables" and "keep jenkins build variables" are checked. Without them the "$" does pass to the script
