Environment variable replacement on WINDOWS discard backslashes

XMLWordPrintable

      Using Declarative Pipeline set environment:

          environment {

                      TEST="$WORKSPACE/test"

                      ...

                      SPEC='linux_x86-64'

                      }

      works fine on linux.

      On Windows 
      WORKSPACE=C:\Users\jenkins\workspace\openjdk_test_x86-64_windows
      TEST will be C:Usersjenkinsworkspaceopenjdk_test_x86-64_windows/test. That is saying passing $WORKSPACE to toString() return discard all backslashes.

      Tried using slash string TEST=/$WORKSPACE/ +'/test' got same issue.

          Have you tried double backslashes?  For example:

          VSMSBUILDCMD = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\Common7\\Tools\\VsMSBuildCmd.bat'

          it is not possible to put double backslashes we don´t define the variable. Is there any workaround for this?

          What version of Declarative do you have installed? I've got tests for this sort of thing in since JENKINS-42748, which went into 1.1.3. I don't have a Windows test env handy, so I can't verify that WORKSPACE gets handled correctly, but if I define an environment variable with backslashes, it does work fine...

          Turns out the issue is with environment variables that aren't defined in the Jenkinsfile, which is why my existing tests didn't catch this. But conveniently enough, this is fixed by the work for JENKINS-42753, I've added a test to the relevant PR, and it'll be included in the upcoming Declarative 1.2 release.
