[FIXED] Jenkins Pipeline Script adds Newline after variable

Issue

I'm executing a nodejs script in my pipeline and for some reason Jenkins adds a newline after a variable.

The code:

sh """cd /var/jenkins/fcs/cars/ && node validateCommit.js \"${reporthashref}\" 'Suzuki, Ignis'"""

When the pipeline is called it fails. The console output looks like this:

18:08:07  + node validateCommit.js a0ccb50b
18:08:07   Suzuki, Ignis

A new line is added and the command is doing something else.

I remember I had to change this already 1-2 times. Everything worked and now it shows up again.

Is there a proper way to do it?

Solution

Use the trim function to remove spaces and new lines before and after your variable :

${reporthashref.trim()}
