Description
Hint from "Branches to build" option in "Pipeline script from SCM" option tells that:
${ENV_VARIABLE}
It is also possible to use environment variables. In this case the variables are evaluated and the result is used as described above.
E.g. ${TREEISH}, refs/tags/${TAGNAME}, ...
However, environment variable not evaluated, resulting following error on script call:
hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git.exe fetch --tags --force --progress --prune -- origin +refs/heads/${SCRIPTS_REPO_BRANCH_NAME}:refs/remotes/origin/${SCRIPTS_REPO_BRANCH_NAME}" returned status code 128: stdout: stderr: load pubkey "C:\\Windows\\TEMP\\jenkins-gitclient-ssh2322785094198445571.key": invalid format fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/${SCRIPTS_REPO_BRANCH_NAME} at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:2450) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandWithCredentials(CliGitAPIImpl.java:2051) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.access$500(CliGitAPIImpl.java:84) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$1.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:573) at jenkins.plugins.git.GitSCMFileSystem$BuilderImpl.build(GitSCMFileSystem.java:365) at jenkins.scm.api.SCMFileSystem.of(SCMFileSystem.java:197) at jenkins.scm.api.SCMFileSystem.of(SCMFileSystem.java:173) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsScmFlowDefinition.create(CpsScmFlowDefinition.java:115) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsScmFlowDefinition.create(CpsScmFlowDefinition.java:69) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowRun.run(WorkflowRun.java:309) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:97) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:428) Finished: FAILURE
Steps to reproduce:
- Create any pipeline script in git repo
- Go to "Configure System" menu in your Jenkins web app (%YOUR_URL%/configure)
- Create new environment variable "SCRIPTS_REPO_BRANCH_NAME", set its value to the branch name, you script lies under
- Create new pipeline script (%YOUR_URL%/view/all/newJob), "Pipeline"
- Select "Pipeline script from SCM" menu
- Fill all required field, set "Branches to build" = ${SCRIPTS_REPO_BRANCH_NAME}
- Run script, see the error, mentioned above
- Go back to script configuration replace "Branches to build" value with plain branch name
- Run script again, see it checked out and picked properly

added a comment - Is this still an issue? because I am using the cloudbees Jenkins and I am not able to use GitParameter defined in the configuration. it happens the same thing. Variable seems not to be resolved at all. tried the ${BRANCH}, ${env.BRANCH} and ${params.BRANCH} none worked.

Included https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/pull/1305 in the 4.14.0 release.
Thank you lexmaul! Works right now!
Just in case, someone will read this thread facing same problem, right syntax is $SCRIPTS_REPO_BRANCH_NAME (for Windows server too)
