Using Jenkins variables to create the release version.

[superdale]

I am trying to create a release version using Jenkin variable $BUILD_NUMBER. I enter the variable in the plugin field it does not pull the value from Jenkins. How can I get this to work?

I'm in the same boat @badriance. The log is showing the actual templated value and the REST API ends up throwing with an error saying "$BUILD_NUMBER is not a valid release number format"

Did the instructions in the readme not work?

Environment variables can be used in many fields in the Release and Deployment components of this plugin. Any variable, written as ${VARIABLE_NAME} will get replaced by that variable's value. If there is no value set for that variable, the token is not replaced.

This issue is still happening when using Jenkins Pipelines. Any idea when it will be fixed?

Using the example from the docs
e.g.

octopusPushPackage overwriteMode: 'FailIfExists', packagePaths: './artifacts/OctoPetShop.1.1.${BUILD_NUMBER}.zip', serverId: 'octopus-server', spaceId: 'Spaces-1', toolId: 'octocli'

The variable ${BUILD_NUMBER} is not substituted and causes an error.

It works fine for the Push Package Info example though

Hi @codingbadger - suspect you may have already sorted things out at this point, but I came across a similar issue with my interpolated string not resolving as expected. After taking a look at: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/jenkinsfile/#string-interpolation, it became clear that I had to use double quotes instead of single quotes.

Perhaps this was your issue as well?

try this ${env.BUILD_NUMBER} :

octopusPushPackage overwriteMode: 'FailIfExists', packagePaths: './artifacts/OctoPetShop.1.1.${env.BUILD_NUMBER}.zip', serverId: 'octopus-server', spaceId: 'Spaces-1', toolId: 'octocli'
