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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
