Description

Original: I have crated a new job and when using the parameterized trigger it is passing a literal '$VAR' instead of expanding $VAR. Here is some output from the job that is setting the variable (GIT_DESCRIBE): bq. [workspace] $ /gsc/bin/bash -xe /tmp/hudson7947017773698263236.sh ++ git describe --tags + GIT_DESCRIBE=0.28-103-g0661244 + export GIT_DESCRIBE + env + grep GIT_DESCRIBE GIT_DESCRIBE=0.28-103-g0661244 Description set: 0.28-103-g0661244 Using a predefined parameter I have "GIT_DESCRIBE=${GIT_DESCRIBE}" (without quotes) in the text field. Then the receiving job has the value of GIT_DESCRIBE as "${GIT_DESCRIBE}". If I start this job an enter a value for the GIT_DESCRIBE parameter as "0.28-103-g0661244" not only does it work but it also passes this value correctly onto the third/final job. P.S. I've never submitted a bug for Hudson/Jenkins before so please let me know if I am not doing this correctly.
