[FIXED] Cannot render groovy sh script with environmental variable that uses jq

Issue

I have this line here that is inside of a groovy function and i am trying to return a cluster ID

EMR_ID = sh(returnStdout: true, script: "aws emr list-clusters --active --profile \'${PROFILE}\' | jq -r '.Clusters[] | select (.Name=="\'${ENV}\'-emr-cluster") | .Id'")

Without the environmental variables, this works fine. so the $PROFILE param is set to dev and the $ENV is set to aws-dev.

I keep getting the error that complains about the $ENV var, saying that an unexpected bracket is showing up

Solution

After realising that the jenkins snippet generator was actually useful I used this:

sh '''jq -r --arg env "${ENV}" \'.Clusters[] | select (.Name=="\\($env)-emr-cluster") | .Id\' '''

and it worked!
