Daniel Beck created JENKINS-13856:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Jenkins wraps square and curly bracket string parameter
values in quotation marks
Key: JENKINS-13856
URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13856
Project: Jenkins
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Environment: 1.424.6 on Windows Server 2008 R2
1.465 on Windows 7
Reporter: Daniel Beck
String parameters that start and end with a matched pair of square or angle
brackets are wrapped in double quotation marks. This impacts use of JSON as
actual argument values.
This behavior occurs outside of job execution: Default parameter values are
changed while saving, with the double quotation marks present on subsequent
access to the Configure page as well as the Build Now parameters page.
h3. Example
This results for example in a value being changed from
{code}
[foo]
{code}
to
{code}
"[foo]"
{code}
Affected argument values have the following formats:
{code}
[]
{}
[foo]
{foo}
[foo bar]
{foo {} bar}
{code}
etc.
The following are not affected by this behavior:
{code}
()
<>
[}
{]
{}
[]
[foo}
{foo]
foo[bar]
foo[bar
[foo]bar
{code}
h3. Workaround
Add a leading space character
