Windows 2008 R2 SP1 x64
Java 1.6.0_31 x64 from Oracle
Tomcat 6.0.35
Jenkins 1.458, freshly installed and never upgraded
SVN
My Jenkins instance/project are working just fine and builds work as expected.
Now I try to use the "build-name-setter" plugin. My goal is to have build names like "svn123build9879".
I installed the plugin via the plugin manager, and set the new "Build Name" field to "svn${SVN_REVISION}build${BUILD_NUMBER}" (without quotes). It looks like the expected syntax, and I can see ${SVN_REVISION} in my env-vars.html
However, this leads to the following error in the console log:
Unrecognized macro 'SVN_REVISION' in 'svn${SVN_REVISION}build${BUILD_NUMBER}'
I'm available for more info. I searched for similar bugs, sorry if that's not a but but just a misconfiguration, please point me to what you think might be wrong.
[JENKINS-13347] Build Name returns 'Unrecognized macro' errors for everything except ${BUILD_NUMBER}

added a comment - Workaround:
${ENV,var="SVN_REVISION"}
Note: When using multiple Subversion locations, the environment variables are names such as:
SVN_REVISION_1, SVN_REVISION_2, ...

Works! I think the more general bug remains valid, so I won't close yet.
Thanks for the help

added a comment - I have a release build where I can specify release version via "Release_version" string parameter and I want use that one for setting build name using this parameter as ${Release_version}. That would be super cool. Would the ENV hack work here?

added a comment - I believe this is actually the Token Macro plugin. I encountered this in a change made to an existing job, adding a Conditional Step to trigger a build of another job an existing set of Post-Build Script steps. The build is triggered with two predefined parameters, the first of which is $JOB_NAME. Here's the error from the console log:
09:45:17 Exception caught evaluating condition: [org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.MacroEvaluationException: Unrecognized macro 'JOB_NAME' in '${JOB_NAME}'], action = [Fail the build]
09:45:17 Build step 'Use publishers from another project' changed build result to FAILURE
09:45:17 Build step 'Use publishers from another project' marked build as failure
I'm running Jenkins 1.466.2 on a Linux platform, Token Macro plugin version 1.5.1, PostBuildScript plugin version 0.7.

Actually my problem is not related to SVN_REVISION. All macros seem to fail: setting build-name=${BUILD_NUMBER}-${JOB_NAME} returns this:
Unrecognized macro 'JOB_NAME' in '${BUILD_NUMBER}-${JOB_NAME}'
