What happened?

Scenario: in the environment you have a variable that has another variable inside its definition. For example the variable "tmp.dir" is defined as "${PROJECT_HOME}/tmp". When you get the variable using transform "Get variables" you will have, for example, "some_path/Hop/Use_cases/tmp". If you do the same using the function getVariable() inside a Javascript transform you will have "${PROJECT_HOME}/tmp". IT seems the getVariable is not decoding the nested variable value. There is the same difference also in case you use in the environment a previous variable inside another one (someting like log.dir=${tmp.dir}/log. Please find attached a pipeline and an environment file as example.
