Credentials must be referred to by ID which is Jenkins master specific

XMLWordPrintable

      The helptext is at odds with what gets generated by the Snippet Generator (see screenshot). 

      node {
  sshagent (credentials: ['deploy-dev']) {
    sh 'ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l cloudbees 192.168.1.106 uname -a'
  }
}

      Multiple credentials could be passed in the array but it is not supported using Snippet Generator.

      This would be useful, since I have a staging and a production Jenkins master and I would like to refer to the credential by name instead of ID so I can use it between hosts. The snippet generated is with the ID, and only that will work it seems:

      sshagent(['05917262-0ebf-4491-bc84-5029e36ad0e8']) {
    // some block
}

      If I attempt to use the credentials: ['foo'] syntax, my job will fail:

      FATAL: [ssh-agent] Could not find specified credentials
[ssh-agent] Looking for ssh-agent implementation...
[ssh-agent]   Java/JNR ssh-agent
[ssh-agent] Started.
