I have a shell script inside my jenkins pipeline which will call mvn. For that i have to pass variable value to mvn. The variable is not passing inside the Jenkins pipeline's shell. But when trying from local machine shell it is working fine as expected.
ARTIFACT_NAME="Sample_Artifact"
pipeline{
agent {
node{
label "${AGENT}"
}
}
stages{
stage("Setting MultiJob Properties"){
steps{
sh '''set +x
export VERSION=$(mvn -B -q -Dexec.executable=echo -Dexec.args=\${${ARTIFACT_NAME}} )
echo $VERSION
'''
}
}
}
}
Expected Process: export VERSION=$(mvn -B -q -Dexec.executable=echo -Dexec.args=${Sample_Artifact} )
Expected Output: 1.0001
ARTIFACT_NAME - I am passing it from Jenkins UI.
${${ARTIFACT_NAME}} - This variable is perfectly replace value in Freestyle jobs and it is throwing error in the Pipeline jobs.
Error Message: script.sh: 3: Bad substitution
Can Anyone please help me to resolve the issue?
As Ian wrote, you're passing the whole script as a literal (''') instead of an interpolated string ("""), so the variable name doesn't get substituted with its value:
pipeline{
agent {
node {
label AGENT
}
}
stages {
stage("Setting MultiJob Properties") {
steps {
sh """set +x
export VERSION=\$(mvn -B -q -Dexec.executable=echo -Dexec.args=\${$ARTIFACT_NAME})
echo \$VERSION"""
}
}
}
}
I am running a shell script inside a docker container via jenkins groovy pipeline script. The bash script sets some environment variables and then executes unit tests. The stdout of these unit test execution is dumped to a text file.
I later copy this text file outside of the container for usage.
Here is the shell script:
#/bin/bash
source /root/venv/bin/activate
export PYTHONPATH=/foo/bar
cd unit_tests
rm -f results.txt
python tests.py >> results.txt
My pipeline script is as follows:
stage('Run Unit Tests') {
steps {
sh '''
docker-compose -f ./dir1/docker-compose-test.yml up -d
docker cp /supporting_files/run_unit_tests.sh container_1:/foo/bar/
docker exec container_1 /bin/bash run_unit_tests.sh
docker cp container_1:/foo/bar/unit_tests/results.txt .
'''
}
}
stage('Reporting') {
steps {
//steps for reporting
}
}
The problem is whenever any test fails, the results.txt has the appropriate text about failures and their stack. But the pipeline stop executing saying
[Pipeline] }
ERROR: script returned exit code 1
Because of this I am not able to execute next steps of parsing the results.txt file and reporting the results.
How do I make the pipeline execute next stage ?
I tried some things like:
1. Using catchError:
stage('Run Unit Tests') {
steps {
catchError(buildResult: 'SUCCESS', stageResult: 'FAILURE') {
sh '''
//Running the commands above
'''
}
}
}
Using try:
try{
stage('Run Unit Tests') {
sh '''
//Executing tests
'''
}
} catch(e) {
echo e.toString()
}
But both of them does not help.
Also the shell script simply dumps the stdout of running tests into a text file so I don't understand why an exit code 1 should be returned as the operation itself does not fail. I saw the text file later, it had the correct failures and error counts with stack.
I am trying to execute a shell script on a windows node using Jenkins.
The bash script uses sort -u flag in one of the steps to filter out unique elements from an existing array
list_unique=($(echo "${list[#]}" | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -u | tr '\n' ' '))
Note - shebang used in the script is #!/bin/bash
On calling the script from command prompt as - bash test.sh $arg1
I got the following error -
-uThe system cannot find the file specified.
I understand the issue was that with the above call, sort.exe was being used from command prompt and not the Unix sort command. To get around this I changed the path variable in Windows System variables and moved \cygwin\bin ahead of \Windows\System32
This fixed the issue and the above call gave me the expected results.
However, When the same script is called on this node using Jenkins, I get the same error again
-uThe system cannot find the file specified.
Jenkins stage calling the script
stage("Run Test") {
options {
timeout(time: 5, unit: 'MINUTES')
}
steps {
script {
if(fileExists("${Test_dir}")){
dir("${Test_dir}"){
if(fileExists("test.sh")){
def command = 'bash test.sh ${env.arg1}'
env.output = sh(returnStdout: true , script : "${command}").trim()
if (env.output == "Invalid"){
def err_msg = "Error Found."
sh "echo -n '" + err_msg + " ' > ${ERR_MSG_FILE}"
error(err_msg)
}
sh "echo Running tests for ${env.output}"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Kindly Help
I need Jenkins to run a shell script named create_environment.sh including the following command:
sed -i '' "s~variable \"backendPoolID\" { default = \".*\"~variable \"backendPoolID\" { default = \"$backend_address_pool_id\"~g" var.tf
When I run the script inside the Jenkins machine it works without a problem, but inside the Jenkins pipeline I get the Error:
sed: can't read s~variable "backendPoolID" { default = ".*"~variable "backendPoolID" { default = ""~g: No such file or directory
The pipeline step:
steps {
withCredentials([azureServicePrincipal('xxxx')]) {
dir("${WORKSPACE}/azure/terraform/deployment/${params.AZURE_ENV}") {
echo " *************************** Deploy /${params.AZURE_ENV} ***************************** "
sh "chmod 777 *"
sh "./create_environment.sh"
echo " *************************** Deploy erfolgreich ***************************** "
}
I already tried to replace sh " with sh """, but it didn´t helped.
Do anyone have some experience with that?
A step in my pipeline uploads a .tar to an artifactory server. I am getting a Bad substitution error when passing in env.BUILD_NUMBER, but the same commands works when the number is hard coded. The script is written in groovy through jenkins and is running in the jenkins workspace.
sh 'curl -v --user user:password --data-binary ${buildDir}package${env.BUILD_NUMBER}.tar -X PUT "http://artifactory.mydomain.com/artifactory/release-packages/package${env.BUILD_NUMBER}.tar"'
returns the errors:
[Pipeline] sh
[Package_Deploy_Pipeline] Running shell script
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Package_Deploy_Pipeline#tmp/durable-4c8b7958/script.sh: 2:
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Package_Deploy_Pipeline#tmp/durable-4c8b7958/script.sh: Bad substitution
[Pipeline] } //node
[Pipeline] Allocate node : End
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
ERROR: script returned exit code 2
If hard code in a build number and swap out ${env.BUILD_NUMBER} I get no errors and the code runs successfully.
sh 'curl -v --user user:password --data-binary ${buildDir}package113.tar -X PUT "http://artifactory.mydomain.com/artifactory/release-packages/package113.tar"'
I use ${env.BUILD_NUMBER} within other sh commands within the same script and have no issues in any other places.
This turned out to be a syntax issue. Wrapping the command in ''s caused ${env.BUILD_NUMBER to be passed instead of its value. I wrapped the whole command in "s and escaped the nested. Works fine now.
sh "curl -v --user user:password --data-binary ${buildDir}package${env.BUILD_NUMBER}.tar -X PUT \"http://artifactory.mydomain.com/artifactory/release-packages/package${env.BUILD_NUMBER}.tar\""
In order to Pass groovy parameters into bash scripts in Jenkins pipelines (causing sometimes bad substitions) You got 2 options:
The triple double quotes way [ " " " ]
OR
the triple single quotes way [ ' ' ' ]
In triple double quotes you can render the normal parameter from groovy using ${someVariable} ,if it's environment variable ${env.someVariable} , if it's parameters injected into your job ${params.someVariable}
example:
def YOUR_APPLICATION_PATH= "${WORKSPACE}/myApp/"
sh """#!/bin/bash
cd ${YOUR_APPLICATION_PATH}
npm install
"""
In triple single quotes things getting little bit tricky, you can pass the parameter to environment parameter and using it by "\${someVaraiable}" or concating the groovy parameter using ''' + someVaraiable + '''
examples:
def YOUR_APPLICATION_PATH= "${WORKSPACE}/myApp/"
sh '''#!/bin/bash
cd ''' + YOUR_APPLICATION_PATH + '''
npm install
'''
OR
pipeline{
agent { node { label "test" } }
environment {
YOUR_APPLICATION_PATH = "${WORKSPACE}/myapp/"
}
continue...
continue...
continue...
sh '''#!/bin/bash
cd "\${YOUR_APPLICATION_PATH}"
npm install
'''
//OR
sh '''#!/bin/bash
cd "\${env.YOUR_APPLICATION_PATH}"
npm install
'''
Actually, you seem to have misunderstood the env variable. In your sh block, you should access ${BUILD_NUMBER} directly.
Reason/Explanation: env represents the environment inside the script. This environment is used/available directly to anything that is executed, e.g. shell scripts.
Please also pay attention to not write anything to env.*, but use withEnv{} blocks instead.
Usually the most common issue for:
Bad substitution
error is to use sh instead of bash.
Especially when using Jenkins, if you're using Execute shell, make sure your Command starts with shebang, e.g. #!/bin/bash -xe or #!/usr/bin/env bash.
I can definitely tell you, it's all about sh shell and bash shell. I fixed this problem by specifying #!/bin/bash -xe as follows:
node {
stage("Preparing"){
sh'''#!/bin/bash -xe
colls=( col1 col2 col3 )
for eachCol in ${colls[#]}
do
echo $eachCol
done
'''
}
}
I had this same issue when working on a Jenkins Pipeline for Amazon S3 Application upload.
My script was like this:
pipeline {
agent any
parameters {
string(name: 'Bucket', defaultValue: 's3-pipeline-test', description: 'The name of the Amazon S3 Bucket')
string(name: 'Prefix', defaultValue: 'my-website', description: 'Application directory in the Amazon S3 Bucket')
string(name: 'Build', defaultValue: 'public/', description: 'Build directory for the application')
}
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
echo 'Running build phase'
sh 'npm install' // Install packages
sh 'npm run build' // Build project
sh 'ls' // List project files
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
echo 'Running deploy phase'
withCredentials([[$class: 'AmazonWebServicesCredentialsBinding', accessKeyVariable: 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', credentialsId: 'AWSCredentials', secretKeyVariable: 'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']]) {
sh 'aws s3 ls' // List AWS S3 buckets
sh 'aws s3 sync "${params.Build}" s3://"${params.Bucket}/${params.Prefix}" --delete' // Sync project files with AWS S3 Bucket project path
}
}
}
}
post {
success {
echo 'Deployment to Amazon S3 suceeded'
}
failure {
echo 'Deployment to Amazon S3 failed'
}
}
}
Here's how I fixed it:
Seeing that it's an interpolation call of variables, I had to substitute the single quotation marks (' ') in this line of the script:
sh 'aws s3 sync "${params.Build}" s3://"${params.Bucket}/${params.Prefix}" --delete' // Sync project files with AWS S3 Bucket project path
to double quotation marks (" "):
sh "aws s3 sync ${params.Build} s3://${params.Bucket}/${params.Prefix} --delete" // Sync project files with AWS S3 Bucket project path
So my script looked like this afterwards:
pipeline {
agent any
parameters {
string(name: 'Bucket', defaultValue: 's3-pipeline-test', description: 'The name of the Amazon S3 Bucket')
string(name: 'Prefix', defaultValue: 'my-website', description: 'Application directory in the Amazon S3 Bucket')
string(name: 'Build', defaultValue: 'public/', description: 'Build directory for the application')
}
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
echo 'Running build phase'
sh 'npm install' // Install packages
sh 'npm run build' // Build project
sh 'ls' // List project files
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
echo 'Running deploy phase'
withCredentials([[$class: 'AmazonWebServicesCredentialsBinding', accessKeyVariable: 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', credentialsId: 'AWSCredentials', secretKeyVariable: 'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']]) {
sh 'aws s3 ls' // List AWS S3 buckets
sh "aws s3 sync ${params.Build} s3://${params.Bucket}/${params.Prefix} --delete" // Sync project files with AWS S3 Bucket project path
}
}
}
}
post {
success {
echo 'Deployment to Amazon S3 suceeded'
}
failure {
echo 'Deployment to Amazon S3 failed'
}
}
}
That's all
I hope this helps
I was having the issue with showing the {env.MAJOR_VERSION} in an artifactory of jar file . show I approaches by keeping of environment step in Jenkinsfile.
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
MAJOR_VERSION = 1
}
stages {
stage('build') {
steps {
sh 'ant -f build.xml -v'
}
}
}
post {
always{
archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'dist/*.jar', fingerprint: true
}
}
}
I got the issue solved and then it was not showing me bad substitution in my Jenkins build output. so environment step plays a more role in Jenkinsfile.
suggestion from #avivamg didn't worked for me, here is the syntax which works for me:
sh "python3 ${env.WORKSPACE}/package.py --product productname " +
"--build_dir ${release_build_dir} " +
"--signed_product_dir ${signed_product_dir} " +
"--version ${build_version}"
I got similar issue. But my usecase is little different
steps{
sh '''#!/bin/bash -xe
VAR=TRIAL
echo $VAR
if [ -d /var/lib/jenkins/.m2/'\${params.application_name}' ]
then
echo 'working'
echo ${VAR}
else
echo 'not working'
fi
'''
}
}
here I'm trying to declare a variable inside the script and also use a parameter from outside
After trying multiple ways
The following script worked
stage('cleaning com/avizva directory'){
steps{
sh """#!/bin/bash -xe
VAR=TRIAL
echo \$VAR
if [ -d /var/lib/jenkins/.m2/${params.application_name} ]
then
echo 'working'
echo \${VAR}
else
echo 'not working'
fi
"""
}
}
changes made :
Replaced triple single quotes --> triple double quotes
Whenever I want to refer to local variable I used escape character
$VAR --> \$VAR
This caused the error Bad Substitution:
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
DOCKER_IMAGENAME = "mynginx:latest"
DOCKER_FILE_PATH = "./docker"
}
stages {
stage('DockerImage-Build') {
steps {
sh 'docker build -t ${env.DOCKER_IMAGENAME} ${env.DOCKER_FILE_PATH}'
}
}
}
}
This fixed it: replace ' with " on sh command
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
DOCKER_IMAGENAME = "mynginx:latest"
DOCKER_FILE_PATH = "./docker"
}
stages {
stage('DockerImage-Build') {
steps {
sh "docker build -t ${env.DOCKER_IMAGENAME} ${env.DOCKER_FILE_PATH}"
}
}
}
}
The Jenkins Script is failing inside the "sh" command-line E.g:
sh 'npm run build' <-- Fails referring to package.json
Needs to be changed to:
sh 'npm run ng build....'
... ng $PATH is not found by the package.json.
