      I have a script in /var/tmp that simply executes "env" – the output of which follows:

      16-Jan-2014 18:29:35 Starting task 'Print Env' of type 'com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.scripttask:task.builder.script'

      Beginning to execute external process for build 'XXXX #5 (XXXX-5)'
      ... running command line:

      As you can plainly see, the variables are nowhere in there.

      I see people complaining about these variables not being populated all the way back to the 4.x series. What's going on?

            This will be added to Bamboo 5.6

            Is there any update on this? File scripts are quite useless with this bug. This is critical since January.

            The whole reason I'm using scripts is due to this limitation: BAM-14027.
            Now, I have parallelised jobs that involve the same steps, an ability encouraged through Bamboo documentation. They involve similar scripts, I now must maintain them all inline rather than utilise a common script?...
            I feel like I bounce from bug to limitation and back again with Bamboo currently .
            If a workaround involves defining all necessary Bamboo provided environment variables in each task, I might as well copy and paste inline scripts everywhere.

            Nevermind, we found a work around.

            Is there any update on this issue? It's a rather major blocker for us.
