Environment variable doesn't resolve

      I have a seed job with an input parameter named owner and want to pass its value into a Bitbucket Branch Source Plugin job like this:

      organizationFolder('${owner}') {
  organizations {
    bitbucket {
      serverUrl('https://git.mycompany.com')
      repoOwner('myproject')
      credentialsId('bitbucket-user')
    }
  }
}

      The script above works. Then I replace myproject with ${owner} and I get this error:

      hudson.model.Failure: '$' is an unsafe character
	at jenkins.model.Jenkins.checkGoodName(Jenkins.java:3998)
	at javaposse.jobdsl.plugin.JenkinsJobManagement.createOrUpdateConfig(JenkinsJobManagement.java:138)

      I also tried with double quotes, hoping that the variable would be resolved as a GString, but then I get:

      FATAL: null
java.lang.StackOverflowError

      Is this an issue with the job dsl plugin or the Bitbucket branch source plugin?

          jglick Yeah, I had trouble creating the ticket at the time so I must have tried several times, and I wasn't even aware that any of them got created. Looks like I don't have the correct permission to close those duplicates, is that something you can help me with?

          Anyway, I found a workaround by referring to the variable like this:

          repoOwner(binding.variables.owner)

          I am afraid I also lack permission to close the duplicates.

          See https://groovy-lang.org/syntax.html#_string_interpolation.

          If you want the string as it is, there is no need for interpolation. This works for me:

          organizationFolder(owner) {
  organizations {
    bitbucket {
      serverUrl('https://git.mycompany.com')
      repoOwner('myproject')
      credentialsId('bitbucket-user')
    }
  }
}

          Please note that owner is a special variable within Groovy closures. It's a property of groovy.lang.Closure. Depending on the context, the variable may resolve to that property instead of the build parameter.
