I am trying to update the jenkins build description via running jenkins cli command under a script.

However I am trying to run the following command to change the description and display every line which is comma separated in message1 variable as a new line in jenkins

I am running the following commands in my script to achieve this :

message2=$(echo  $message1  | sed 's/,/\n/g' )
   java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://JENKINS_INSTANCE:9090/ -auth user:token -webSocket set-build-description "$job" "$build" " <b style='color:green !important;'> $message2 <br> Message 2 supposed to be here<br>"

I am supposed to print the message2, message3 one after another in next line in jenkins. Can someone please help me on how to achieve this ?

@rohitthomas yes I tried that. I don't know why I am able to run it on command line for testing but when I try it inside the script it is just not working with anything either tr or sed. – Sameer Atharkar Aug 24 '21 at 18:44

Try switching message1 with the actual message and test it out... – rohit thomas Aug 24 '21 at 18:46
@rohitthomas I am gonna burst into tears now if it doesnt get solved :( See , I have replaced it like this: `java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://JENKINS_INSTANCE/ -auth user:key -webSocket set-build-description "$job" "$build" "$(echo $message | tr , '\n' )" ` Am I doing something wrong? can you suggest? – Sameer Atharkar Aug 24 '21 at 18:53
