[JIRA] (JENKINS-40734) Shell step cannot use environment variables that contain $$

Title: Message Title

Ben Dean reopened an issue   Jesse Glick, the shell script you suggested doesn't work either. Putting single quotes around the environment variables will cause bash (or sh, or dash, or whatever the shell is) to not evaluate them and the output of the build is: + echo Username: $USERNAME, Password: $PASSWORD Username: $USERNAME, Password: $PASSWORD If I change those to double quotes it will evaluate them, but it will have the same problem it had before sh ''' echo Username: "$USERNAME", Password: "$PASSWORD" ''' outputs: + echo Username: ****, Password: bar$baz Username: ****, Password: bar$baz And don't think to much about the echo command in the shell either. In the real place where I'm running into this problem, I'm passing the username and password to some CLI: sh ''' some-cli do stuff "$USERNAME" "$PASSWORD" ''' and they have to be double quoted there so bash will correctly pass the args to the command line if they contain spaces or other characters that have to be quoted.
