      Workflow-cps 1.15

      On normal maven/freestyle jobs the checked out branch can be parameterized with job parameters.
      The following job uses the workflow plugin to pull a groovy script from scm.
      Here the ${branch} variable is not substituted.

      when it really should substitute ${branch} with 6.4.x as it does in the rest of the script.

          [JENKINS-33719] PipelineScript from SCM does not support job parameters

          Ulf Dreyer created issue -

          Martin Wirth added a comment -

          Hello there,

          i just stumbled over the same issue as i was using a trigger job (using Stash Pull Request Builder Plugin) to trigger our testing build that is actually using a pipeline script from git. I already assured, that the missing parameters are provided by checking the "parameters" view.

          We are currently using a workaround by having a little pipeline script inside the corresponding task, that does the parameterized checkout of the pipleine script in SCM for us:

          // workaround to check out the Jenkinsfile of the tag because parameters are not replaced
// when using the "Pipeline script from SCM" option
node('xpro-build') {
    stage 'Load Jenkinsfile From SCM'
    checkout poll:false, scm: [
        $class: 'GitSCM',
        branches: [[name: "origin/pr/${pullRequestId}/from"]],
        userRemoteConfigs: [[
            url: "ssh://git@<host>:<port>/${destinationRepositoryOwner}/${destinationRepositoryName}.git",
			credentialsId: '<credentials>', 
            refspec: '+refs/pull-requests/*:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'
        ]]
    ]
    load 'Jenkinsfile-test'
}

          Please let me know if i can help with further details.

          I just want to confirm that I am also unable to use job parameters within the SCM. (Git in my case).

          Fixing this bug / adding this feature would be incredibly useful. I'd be glad to help in way.

          I’ve exactly the same problem. This bug is blocking me from using pipeline jobs.

          Hi mawi Where are the variables in your script being set?

          eg ${destinationRepositoryName} ?

          Thanks
