    Description

      Reported by customer on 5.6.2:

      Steps to reproduce:
      1) create a new plan
      2) in plan configuration -> Variables tab: add a new variable
      Variable name: my_var
      Value: true
      3) in the default job add a bash script with the following:
      coin_flip=$(( ( RANDOM % 2 ) + 1 ))
      echo "Number is.....: $coin_flip"
      if [ $((coin_flip%2)) -eq 0 ]; then
      echo "even number. pass the build."
      echo "my_var is....: $bamboo_my_var"
      exit 0
      else
      echo "odd number. lets error"
      exit 1
      fi
      4) create a related deployment job.
      5) add a environment (prod)
      6) in edit tasks add a bash script with the following.
      if [ -z "$bamboo_my_var" ]; then
      echo "my_var is not set!"
      echo "looks like a retry build being deployed bug!"
      exit 1
      else
      echo "all good!"
      echo "my_var is set to: $bamboo_my_var"
      echo "Lucky the build being deployed wasnt a build which has retry!"
      exit 0
      fi
      7) now run a build till you get a failed build.
      8) once you get a failed build run retry failed/incompleted jobs only
      run that till it passes.
      9) go to the deployment for that project.
      select deploy -> prod
      select create new release from build result.
      select the last build (which was a retried build)
      click start deploy.
      you will notice the bamboo_my_var value not being set.
      and the deploy will fail.
      if you do the same for a successful build which wasnt a retry you will get your custom variable and it will exit correctly.

      I was able to reproduce this on Bamboo 5.7 as well
