Summary: Backslashes in Environment / Script-Variables are not quoted correctly for Groovy Key: JENKINS-13542 URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13542 Project: Jenkins Issue Type: Bug Components: scripttrigger Affects Versions: current Environment: Windows Reporter: Peter Schaefer Assignee: gbois Priority: Minor Under windows, the variable "WORKSPACE" usually contains backward-shlashes (i.e. "C:\Jenkins\foo\bar"). Trying to assign a string variable like String baz = "$WORKSPACE\\sandbox"; is not possible. After the variables are substitued Groovy complains about illegal character, since the statement looks like this: String baz = "C:\Jenkins\foo\bar\\sandbox"; ^ illegal escape sequence -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
