How to reference a secret in a GitHub webhook payload URL?
The link we followed: https://www.cloudbooklet.com/jenkins-how-to-build-a-specific-branch-on-github/
We are using Generic Webhooks Trigger Plugin
to trigger automatic builds when a commit is pushed to the repository, everything is working fine when the token value is passed directly to the GitHub webhook payload URL
https://JENKINS_URL/generic-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=YOUR_TOKEN
But we wanted to reference the token value through the secret shown in the image below
I did try to reference the secret value in the below way
http://JENKINS_URL/generic-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=${{ Secret }}
But it's not picking up that secret value instead it I think sees ${{Secret }}
as the token value.
The response is the below one for the above way of passing/referencing secret/token value.
{"jobs":null,"message":"Did not find any jobs with GenericTrigger configured! If you are using a token, you need to pass it like ...trigger/invoke?token=TOKENHERE. If you are not using a token, you need to authenticate like http://user:passsword@example.org/generic-webhook... "}
So what would be the right way of referencing the secret of the token value for this particular use-case?
