Environment variable resolves variables recursively

XMLWordPrintable

      The function hudson.Util.replaceMacro(String, ...) resolves recursively properties, such as:
      PATH=path1:$PATH
      into
      PATH=path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1:path1: etc.

      I encountered it when setting variables for slave and running multijob with envinject - the variables were calculated and passed to the child jobs and resulted in running out of memory. More precisely with this variable:
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

      I would expect Jenkins to resolve the R-value and push it in L-value, not to resolve it over and over again.

      Note: I didn't set the variable like this, I suppose it was meant to take $LD_LIBRARY_PATH from Linux server settings and append $ORACLE_HOME/lib

      Note2: Version 1.580.3 ran with those variables fine.
