[JIRA] [git-plugin] (JENKINS-32435) Branches to build does not read content of environment variable
Title: Message Title Mark Waite commented on JENKINS-32435 Re: Branches to build does not read content of environment variable As far as I know, the git plugin uses the variable expansion facilities provided by the Jenkins core. Since $GIT-RELEASE_BRANCH is not expanded, I assume that is common throughout Jenkins. If you choose to submit a bug report to the git plugin on that variable expansion, I'll forward it to Jenkins core. If I were on the Jenkins core team (which I'm not), I would probably then close the bug report as intentionally not implemented. It is certainly your choice if you submit a bug report or not, but I don't intend to change the behavior of the git plugin in this area.

Re: Branches to build does not read content of environment variable
First of all: many thanks for this dep analyze!
I can confirm that it works, if I change the variable from
GIT*-RELEASE_BRANCH to GIT_*RELEASE_BRANCH
Beside: If have used a maven styled job ... but nevertheless ... in general variable substitution works in this way. I was not aware of, that in Jenkins it is required to name the variables in such style.
If you think, also the variable GIT-RELEASE_BRANCH
should also expand, we can create another JIRA issue for this.
I would expect, that every variable with common variable patterns inside ${} should be useable?

Re: Branches to build does not read content of environment variable
A third test shows that if you name the variable GIT_RELEASE_BRANCH instead of GIT-RELEASE_BRANCH, the variable is evaluated as expected. Steps I took to show the issue include:# Create a freestyle project using Git as SCM, with https://github.com/MarkEWaite/JENKINS-26197.git as the repository# Define branch to build as:{noformat}$GIT_RELEASE_BRANCH - or - ${GIT_RELEASE_BRANCH}{noformat}# Select "*Prepare an environment for the run*", and set "Properties Content" to be:{noformat}GIT_RELEASE_BRANCH=jenkins{noformat}# Define a post job build step with Jenkins text finder plugin and have it check the file README.md contains JENKINS-32435 as a string

Select "Prepare an environment for the run", and set "Properties Content" to be:
GIT_RELEASE_BRANCH=jenkins

A second (less trivial) test shows that the plugin is evaluating some environment variables injected by the EnvInject plugin.

I'm not sure how to use the scripting technique you described, especially since the EnvInject plugin help text for the script content panel says "*However, adding or overriding environment variables in the script doesn't have any impacts in the build job*".

We try to use the "Branches to build" setting of the GIT plugin with variable substitution.
That it should be possible and work is stated in the inline help for this parameter: === {{$ {ENV_VARIABLE}
It is also possible to use environment variables. In this case the variables are evaluated and the result is used as described above. E.g. $ {TREEISH}
, refs/tags/$ {TAGNAME}
,...}} ===
We have setup our job with the flag "Prepare environment to run" and added following parameter as "Properties Content":
GIT-RELEASE_BRANCH=refs/heads/release/20160113
In the field of "Branches to build" we tried to use $ {GIT-RELEASE_BRANCH} We have also tried ${ENV_GIT-RELEASE_BRANCH}. We can see for a specific build that the parameter is available as
