Option for not expanding parameters

XMLWordPrintable

      When executing a groovy script which accepts some parameters as input and some parameters contain a '$' (e.g. some$pass!) the following happens:

      17:04:13 Execution of script [somescript.groovy] failed - Unrecognized macro 'pass' in 'some$pass!'org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.MacroEvaluationException: Unrecognized macro 'pass' in 'some$pass!'
      17:04:13 	at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.TokenMacro.expand(TokenMacro.java:185)
      17:04:13 	at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.TokenMacro.expandAll(TokenMacro.java:219)
      17:04:13 	at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.TokenMacro.expandAll(TokenMacro.java:208)
      17:04:13 	at org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptler.builder.ScriptlerBuilder.perform(ScriptlerBuilder.java:104)
      

      If I understand the code correctly the behaviour of the token-macro plugin trying to expand the contents of the parameters is wanted (JENKINS-11914 is related to this). However it is problematic when passing on parameters which contain a '$' and should not be expanded.

      Therefore a feature which lets the user define whether a specific parameter or all parameters should be expanded would be useful.
