How to pass credential binding in environment directive conditionally

This doesn't work:

environment {
    Pass = "${blah == 'yes' ? credentials('somecred') : credentials('otherCred')}"

I can set an env var to credentials() directly but when trying to use the ternary statement inside of the string interpolator like above it doesn't pass the actual creds, it passes a stringified object.

Is there a one-liner for doing this in the environment{} directive?

Jenkins lets you sneak the string interpolator into the environment block to evaluate code, is there another Groovy construct I can use here that will work?

Solution

  • jenkins pipeline dsl makes me weep

    # Define outside of pipeline block
def MYENV_VAR = somevar == 'yes' ? 'cred-id-1' : 'cred-id-2'

pipeline {
    agent any

    environment {
            MYENV = credentials("${MYENV_VAR}")
