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

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?

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?

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

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