Patrick Rhomberg updated GEODE-3635:
------------------------------------
Summary: Echo command does not behave as documented (was: Set Variable
command does not behave as documented)
> Echo command does not behave as documented
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-3635
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3635
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: docs, gfsh
> Reporter: Patrick Rhomberg
>
> The Set Variable command does appear to set gfsh environment properties, but
> these values are only accessible by Java methods that use them. They do not
> parse in the bash style. For instance:
> {noformat}
> gfsh> set variable --name=FOO --value=bar
> Value for variable FOO is now: bar.
> gfsh> echo --string=${FOO}
> ${FOO}
> {noformat}
> Examining the implementation, there is an explicit special case of
> {noformat}
> gfsh> echo --string=$*
> {noformat}
> which will describe the current gfsh environment. Rather than this special
> case, this may be better suited to a Describe Environment command.
