通过groovy文件将带有空格的Jenkins Environment变量传递给ansible命令

Question

I am unable to pass a variable with spaces from a Jenkinsfile to an ansible command ran via groovy.

I have tried using quotes (double and single) backspaces and various other combinations to no avail. Unfortunately I cannot rename to include - or _. Running it as a one liner in linux works with the variable exported to the shell with double quotes. When passed from Jenkins the first space breaks the code and the second word in the string is treated like a seperate string.

The variable in question in the Jenkins file...

env.COMPUTER_NAME = "HELLO WORLD"

In the ansible

String computer_args ="ansible-playbook deploy.yml -e COMPUTER_NAME=${env.COMPUTER_NAME}"

This would result in the error...

Kernel \r on an \m

ERROR! the playbook: WORLD could not be found

Connection to XX closed.

script returned exit code 1

However, running in a linux shell, it works

export COMPUTER_NAME="HELLO WORLD"
ansible-playbook deploy.yml -e COMPUTER_NAME=${env.COMPUTER_NAME}

TASK [computer_name_gather_facts : fail if Computer name was not found] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "All assertions passed"
}

Answer 1

Here it is, try this one,

/* Groovy script to run ansible script*/
COMPUTER_NAME="Hello World"
def computer_args=["/bin/bash", "-c", /ansible-playbook -i hosts main.yml -e COMPUTER_NAME="'${COMPUTER_NAME}'"/]
print(computer_args)
def proc = computer_args.execute()
proc.waitFor()
println "Process exit code: ${proc.exitValue()}"

Ansible Playbook

---
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - name: Add a line to a file if the file does not exist, without passing regexp
      debug:
        msg: "{{ COMPUTER_NAME }}"

Output

[root@localhost ~]# groovy check.groovy 
[/bin/bash, -c, ansible-playbook -i hosts main.yml -e COMPUTER_NAME="'Hello World'"]Process exit code: 0
Std Err: 
Std Out: 
PLAY [all] *********************************************************************

}

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
192.168.5.206              : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0   

As you can see, the COMPUTER_NAME is successfully passed to the ansible script.
