    • Jenkins Version: 1.480
      Perforce Plugin: 1.3.17
      OS: Amazon Linux 2012.03

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Click "Manage Jenkins" -> Global Properties
      2. Create an Environment Variable as follows: name: P4USER value: p4service (or another P4 Username)
      3. Select an Existing Job that uses Perforce for Source Code Management
      4. Select the Username field and enter "${P4USER}"

      Result:

      Result: build fails as follows:

      As you can see by the above: "Caught exception communicating with perforce. Access for user 'com.tek42.perforce.PerforceException: Access for user '"

      Use Case:
      If a user wishes to use exactly one user for all Jobs that use Perforce for SCM, he could enter this user in the Global Properties and then change the credentials user to poll Perforce at any time across all Jobs.

          [JENKINS-15053] Add parameter substitution for p4 user config field

          Problem does not seem specific to global parameters, but is related to the P4USER field itself.

          Thanks for picking up the ticket so quickly - tomorrow I will give try the same global parameter substitution with the P4PORT and password fields as well to see if these fields have problems.
