Environment variables are not expanding properly in XSHELL command
Ex:
In Xshell, if i give a command as below,
python test.py "$WORKSPACE/sdkljnkjndj/sdkgjnkdjnbg" "http://idc-ws-isparbs.mchp-main.com:8080/job/$JOB_NAME/$BUILD_NUMBER"
and if i print the parameters in test.py, I get the following
'%WORKSPACE\\sdkljnkjndj
sdkgjnkdjnbg%'
'http://idc-ws-isparbs.mchp-main.com:8080/job/%JOB_NAME/25%'
I also get few '%' characters appended to the output
I was expecting the output as
'C:\\WS\\sdkljnkjndj
sdkgjnkdjnbg'
'http://idc-ws-isparbs.mchp-main.com:8080/job/test_job/25'
[JENKINS-20478] Some of the Environment Variables are not expanding properly

added a comment - I think the last comment might be a different issue because we only see this when the $DATE parameter is empty for the given job.

The wiki page suggests that the syntax for expansion is to precede the variable with a dollar sign as in $TARGET_URL. When I do that from a parameterized build which has a parameter TARGET_URL, the shell build step correctly expands the TARGET_URL reference, while the XShell build step emits a literal $TARGET_URL.

added a comment - Why isn't this fixed 9 months later? Variable parsing is broken and literals are still emitted, which renders it useless for us. Please fix this.

I've created the relevant pull request, but it will take someone with proper access rights to actually merge it (The plugin looks quite a bit abandoned, judging by this discussion)
I've got the same issue on mac:
The command I ran:
echo "mozdownload --type=$BUILD_TYPE --branch=mozilla-aurora --platform=$PLATFORM --locale=$LOCALE --build-id=$BUILD_ID --date=$DATE --retry-attempts=10 --retry-delay=30 --directory=builds"
The result is:
mozdownload --type=tinderbox --branch=mozilla-aurora --platform=mac --locale=an --build-id=20140127004003 --date=$DATE --retry-attempts=10 --retry-delay=30 --directory=builds
