Derek Williams created GEODE-5531:
-------------------------------------
Summary: gfsh echo variable does not work as documented
Key: GEODE-5531
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-5531
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Bug
Components: gfsh
Reporter: Derek Williams
Fix For: 1.6.0
Variables are [documented
here](http://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/16/tools_modules/gfsh/useful_gfsh_shell_variables.html)
to work with gfsh `echo`, but do not. This applies to both pre-defined shell
variables and user-defined variables (`set variable`...).
For example, `echo --string=$*` will show all shell variables and values, but
`echo --string=${SYS_USER}` simply displays `${SYS_USER}`
Indeed,
[EchoCommand.java](https://github.com/apache/geode/blob/78dcf4b8fa86543e882365e78f1c8e2a623bffde/geode-core/src/main/java/org/apache/geode/management/internal/cli/commands/EchoCommand.java)
has a special case for `$*`, but does not include the other documented cases.
