    • Component/s: core
    • Environment:

      Manage Jenkins/Configure System

      Under Global Properties add an environment variable.

      Make a mistake and have space before the name.  Example:

      Name: " DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM"
      Value: "linux/amd64"

      Save

      Then run a job that dumps the environment variables:

      // Uses Declarative syntax to run commands inside a container.
pipeline {
    agent { label "docker-host" }
    stages {
        stage('Main') {
            steps {
                sh '''
                env | sort
                '''
            }
        }
    }
}

      The variable will not be present.

       

      Expected: 

      Warning is given in the screen above about leading whitespace

      or

      Leading and trailing whitespace is automatically removed

      or

      Environment variable is set, with the whitespace in the name.
