Parameter Expression throws CredentialNotFoundException

      When configuring a job with credentials binding the 'specific credentials' do work but when I try to use the 'parameter expression' it always fails with the following message:

      [EnvInject] - Loading node environment variables.
      [EnvInject] - Preparing an environment for the build.
      [EnvInject] - Keeping Jenkins system variables.
      [EnvInject] - Keeping Jenkins build variables.
      [EnvInject] - Evaluation the following Groovy script content: 
      println "secret_file_id:" + secret_file_id
      
      secret_file_id:keystore
      [EnvInject] - Injecting contributions.

      As shown in config-attachment the referenced secret file (ID: 'keystore') is found when using the specific credentials option. When I try to load it dynamically with the parameter expression using ${secret_file_id} the exception is thrown.

      I've spend a fair amount of time testing with different settings for credentials and plugin versions but none fixed my issue. I've attached an example job configuration that mimics my issue.

      Basically the one I'm trying to achieve is a job that based upon a parameter builds and signs an Android app. The parameter is either supplied through a properties file inside a git repo or by making the build 'parameterized'. Any help would be appreciated!

      Cheers, Erik

          [JENKINS-36470] Parameter Expression throws CredentialNotFoundException

          For security reasons, the only parameters that can be expanded are Credentials Parameters as this is the only parameter type that allows us to determine whether

          • the supplied value is the default (and hence can be searched using the authentication that the build is running as but cannot be searched from the user who triggered the build's credentials stores)
          • the supplied value was a user configured value and thus can be searched from the user's credentials store (and optionally the authentication stores of the user the build is running as provided that the user who triggered the build has the permission to use those credentials)

          If you change the parameter to a Credentials Parameter then the expansion works.

          This bit me, too. Glad I found this to help explain. Might be worth a quite note on the plugin's homepage that this is intended functionality. (Even just copying the comment above would probably suffice.)
