Q&A for work

Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search.

Please check this official guide to see if you have defined it correctly.

Also check if you're passing credentials ID, not a description to credentials() method.

If you're using Jenkins pipelines, you also can try Credentials Binding Plugin . From plugin wiki , a typical example of a username password type credential would look like:

withCredentials([usernamePassword(credentialsId: 'amazon', usernameVariable: 'USERNAME', passwordVariable: 'PASSWORD')]) {
  // available as an env variable, but will be masked if you try to print it out any which way
  // note: single quotes prevent Groovy interpolation; expansion is by Bourne Shell, which is what you want
  sh 'echo $PASSWORD'
  // also available as a Groovy variable
  echo USERNAME
  // or inside double quotes for string interpolation
  echo "username is $USERNAME"
For scripted pipeline you can use withCredentials() as well (see this):
node {
  withCredentials([usernameColonPassword(credentialsId: 'mylogin', variable: 'USERPASS')]) {
    sh '''
      set +x
      curl -u "$USERPASS" https://private.server/ > output
Or you can use withEnv() section:
node {
    withEnv(["CREDS=credentials('jenkins-creds')"]) {
        stage('Build') {
            sh 'printenv'
                def GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS = credentials('XYZ credentials') sh 'echo ****** $GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS ****' This is not working

                Did you use credentials() method in the environment directive? (See this). E.g.,        environment {         BITBUCKET_COMMON_CREDS = credentials('jenkins-bitbucket-common-creds')     }

                Or, probably, you're passing credentials description to credentials() method, not a credential ID. In that case, you must specify ID of your credentials.

                If you're using node, it's called scripted pipeline. So, for scripted pipeline you can use withCredentials() or withEnv() section (updated in answer).

node { 
    stage('Preparing env') {
        withCredentials([usernamePassword(credentialsId: 'XYZ Credentials', passwordVariable: 'GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_PSW', usernameVariable: 'GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_USR')]) {
            // Do something here with your username and password variables
