Environment variables referencing other variables broken

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      This seems to have broken fairly recently. I have a global PATH environment variable defined in Jenkins as follows:

      PATH: /path/to/toolchain/bin:$PATH

      Freestyle jobs work with this. An older version of the durable task plugin also worked. After updating to the latest, this pipeline job:

      node('master', {
    echo 'env.PATH=' + env.PATH
    sh('env')
   })

      results in this output:

      [Pipeline] node
Running on master in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/pipeline bug
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] echo
env.PATH=/path/to/toolchain/bin:$PATH
[Pipeline] sh
[pipeline bug] Running shell script
nohup: failed to run command ‘sh’: No such file or directory
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
ERROR: script returned exit code -2
