Environment entries can not be null or empty
Environment:
- Jib version: 2.8.0
- Build tool: Maven 3.6.1
- OS: Windows 10
Description of the issue:
Setting environment entries to an empty string results in the following message:
Execution default-cli of goal com.google.cloud.tools:jib-maven-plugin:2.8.0:dockerBuild failed: environment map contains null values
Expected behavior: The ENV variables should be set inside the image to an empty string.
Steps to reproduce:
Add an environment element with an empty value.
<value></value>
Log output:
Execution default-cli of goal com.google.cloud.tools:jib-maven-plugin:2.8.0:dockerBuild failed: environment map contains null values
Additional Information: This is needed since my application has a default value for that parameter that I have to override with an empty string. I can workaround this by using
<CATALINA_OPTS>-Dvalue=</CATALINA_OPTS>
that way I can set it to an empty string.
Hi @Marty,
I understand the pain, but fortunately, this seems like a limitation of Maven. There just does not seem a way to pass an empty string or even non-empty whitespace.
I cannot immediately think of an elegant way to support this. Maybe introduce a special keyword like JIB_EMPTY_STRING?
Closing as part of cleanup since known issue is in Maven. Please re-open if needed.
