Jason Swager closed JENKINS-11553.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Defect
Suspect another plugin is responsible for the environment variable behavior.
> WORKSPACE env var on Slave VM running windows has unix path separators
> instead of windows

> Key: JENKINS-11553
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11553
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: vsphere-cloud
> Environment: Jenkins: Linux 64 bit
> Slave: windows 7 64 bit
> Reporter: Todd Livesey
> Assignee: jswager
>
> When Jenkins running on Linux issues a job to a vm slave running windows 7,
> the WORKSPACE environment variable received by the slave running a batch file
> has Unix style path separators (/) instead of windows style path separators
> (\). As a result, batch file commands such as 'DEL %WORKSPACE%\*' results in
> a failure such as 'users is not a valid option' (because WORKSPACE is set to
> C:/users/build/workspace).
> Other combinations of Jenkins/slave OSs not attempted.
> Workaround is to simply replace '/' with '\' in WORKSPACE and job runs
> smoothly.
