Jenkins Pipeline Groovy script: batch script issue '%20' is replaced with '0'

Question

I have a pipeline script using a git URL with whitespaces https://username:password@project-teamprojects.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/_git/Core - Stream :

node ("master") {
  bat([script: "git push https://username:password@project-teamprojects.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/_git/Core%20-%20Stream", encoding: "UTF-8" ])  
}

When this jenkins job is executed, it fails because '%20' is replaced with '0' . Log saying that:

git push https://username:password@project-teamprojects.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/_git/Core0-0Stream 
remote: TF401019: The Git repository with name or identifier Core0-0Stream does not exist or you do not have permissions for the operation you are attempting.
fatal: repository 'https://username:password@project-teamprojects.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/_git/Core0-0Stream/' not found

How to encode git url properly using bat task in jenkins pipeline script

Answer 1

Your %20 character is most probably interpreted as a variable. You have a lot of solutions :

Do not allow variable substitution

Remove interpolation from your bat script. For that, use simple quotes instead of double quotes :

bat([script: 'git push https://username:password@project-teamprojects.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/_git/Core%20-%20Stream', encoding: "UTF-8" ]) 

Use '+' char instead of '%20'

Plus sign should not be interpreted as a variable and should be valid as a space in URL :

bat([script: "git push https://username:password@project-teamprojects.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/_git/Core+-+Stream", encoding: "UTF-8" ]) 

Escape the interpreted character

I didn't test it but most probably with your bat script it's the % that gets interpreted and replaced. To avoid that you could try to escape it with a %% :

bat([script: "git push https://username:password@project-teamprojects.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/_git/Core%%20-%%20Stream", encoding: "UTF-8" ]) 

Note : According to this article , % character must be escaped with another percent char, so : %% .
