Unable to use buildkite-agent meta data

Pipelines
1

Hi Team

I have a script , lets say abc.sh
which has a variable defined

#!/bin/bash

IMAGE_TO_DEPLOY=“This is rajat”

Now what i am doing with pipeline is

bash abc.sh
buildkite-agent meta-data set “my_image” “$$IMAGE_TO_DEPLOY”
CLOUD_RUN_IMAGE=$(buildkite-agent meta-data get “my_image”)
echo $$CLOUD_RUN_IMAGE

But its not giving the correct output. Please help me on this

Hey @rajat2911 :wave:

Welcome to the Buildkite Support Community!

Checking over those Bash snippets I think the only issue here is with having two ‘$’ at the start of your variables, which would give you unexpected output.

I’ve fixed up the script you sent and tested it to make sure it works, give this a go!

#!/bin/bash
IMAGE_TO_DEPLOY="This is rajat"

# Set metadata
buildkite-agent meta-data set "my_image" "$IMAGE_TO_DEPLOY"
# Get metadata
CLOUD_RUN_IMAGE=$(buildkite-agent meta-data get "my_image")

echo $CLOUD_RUN_IMAGE

Thanks!
