Peter Schaefer created JENKINS-13542:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Backslashes in Environment / Script-Variables are not
quoted correctly for Groovy
Key: JENKINS-13542
URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13542
Project: Jenkins
Issue Type: Bug
Components: scripttrigger
Affects Versions: current
Environment: Windows
Reporter: Peter Schaefer
Assignee: gbois
Priority: Minor
Under windows, the variable "WORKSPACE" usually contains backward-shlashes
(i.e. "C:\Jenkins\foo\bar"). Trying to assign a string variable like
String baz = "$WORKSPACE\\sandbox";
is not possible. After the variables are substitued Groovy complains about
illegal character, since the statement looks like this:
String baz = "C:\Jenkins\foo\bar\\sandbox";
^ illegal escape sequence
