[JENKINS-56043] (Github plugin) Console Output not echo'ing $payload
I have a working jenkins instance with github-plugin (https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Plugin) configured. The job is currently accepting posts from github.com and triggering the build. I am able to parse out these 11 environment variables.
echo $payload returns nothing
{{echo GIT_COMMIT $GIT_COMMIT
echo GIT_BRANCH $GIT_BRANCH
echo GIT_LOCAL_BRANCH $GIT_LOCAL_BRANCH
echo GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT $GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT
echo GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT $GIT_PREVIOUS_SUCCESSFUL_COMMIT
echo GIT_URL $GIT_URL
echo GIT_URL_N - $GIT_URL_N
echo GIT_AUTHOR_NAME $GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
echo GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL}}
However i am unable to get at the PUSH webhook payload example from there https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/#pushevent
Ideally i would like to parse out this specific key and value using shell
{{ "pusher":
}
