      When defining a pipeline through "Pipeline Script" (org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsFlowDefinition) we don't get the all the GIT_* environment variables we usually get when defining the same pipeline through "Pipeline Script from SCM" (org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsScmFlowDefinition).

      I have defined the following defaults through an init.d scripts:

      def desc = Jenkins.instance.getDescriptor('hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM')
desc.setGlobalConfigName('Jenkins CI')
desc.setGlobalConfigEmail('*redacted*')

       

      Then, I defined a basic pipeline for tests:

      pipeline {
  agent any
  stages {
    stage('Test GIT') {
      steps{
        sh 'env | sort | grep GIT'
      }
    }
  }
}

       

      If I use this pipeline as is (CpsFlowDefinition), I get the following result:

      [Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Test GIT)
[Pipeline] sh
+ env
+ sort
+ grep GIT
DEFAULT_GIT_URL=/git
JENKINS_CREDS_GIT_PASSWORD=*redacted*
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node

       

      If I use this pipeline in a Jenkinsfile in a Git repository (CpsScmFlowDefinition), I get that: 

      [Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Declarative: Checkout SCM)
[Pipeline] checkout

      There is this withEnv step that I don't understand (can that explain the difference in behaviour ?)

      The issue with these not being defined is that if the pipeline tries to commit things we get the following error

      *** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

       

      Is this an expected difference in behaviour or rather a bug ?
