Only credentials added via the snippet generator are usable

XMLWordPrintable

      I had an SSH credential added before starting to use the sshagent workflow step and I was unable to refer to the credential by name (JENKINS-32101) or even by ID. Not in the screenshot that it doesn't show up in the snippet generator UI either.

      When referring to a credential which was previously added (2d954d6d-9eda-444a-90ff-693df2ef3f26) with:

      node {
    sshagent(['2d954d6d-9eda-444a-90ff-693df2ef3f26']) {
        // do work here
    }
}

      The workflow fails to find the credential:

      Running on master in /home/tyler/.jenkins/jobs/multipass/branches/master/workspace
[Workflow] node {
[Workflow] SSH Agent : Start
FATAL: [ssh-agent] Could not find specified credentials
[ssh-agent] Looking for ssh-agent implementation...
[ssh-agent]   Java/JNR ssh-agent
[ssh-agent] Started.
[Workflow] sshagent {

      Workaround

      If I add the credential directly through the snippet generator, then I am able to refer to it from workflow.
