[JENKINS-32402] Credentials binding fails to find creds when using a Parameterized Expression, but only for timed jobs

This job attempts to:

• Take a parameter GAMESPARKS_CREDS_ID as creds


• Use Credentials Binding to convert the creds into an environment variable GAMESPARKS_CREDS that is the concatenation of username:password for use in a shell script


• Do so every 2 minutes

When triggered manually, it works fine. But when triggered by the timer, it fails with the following message:

FATAL: ${GAMESPARKS_CREDS_ID}

org.jenkinsci.plugins.credentialsbinding.impl.CredentialNotFoundException: ${GAMESPARKS_CREDS_ID}

	at org.jenkinsci.plugins.credentialsbinding.MultiBinding.getCredentials(MultiBinding.java:124)

	at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:98)

	at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:374)

Finished: FAILURE

If there's a better way to make credentials available in a build script, I'm open to that.
