Hi @SabryTarek. Could you explain what you are trying to do please?

Hi @roboli I want to add my last git commit-message as a prefix for Circle CI pipeline name

I create this topic at circleci discuss
discuss.circleci.com

Have you tried using double quotes @SabryTarek

name: "$GIT_COMMIT_MESSAGE"

Are you sure this is possible? Seems name can't be set at runtime. Maybe trying using parameters?

I tried double quotes but it didn't work

and tried job parameters

version: 2.1
orbs:
  ecm: pay-justice/export-commit-message@0.0.1
jobs:
   build:
     parameters:
       commit-msg:
         type: env_var_name
         default: GIT_MSG # Note: replace with env var (without $) or remove it if the param is mandatory.
       AppName-msg:
         type: string
         default: 'my-app-name'
     docker:
       - image: ubuntu:latest
     steps:
       - checkout
       - ecm/export_commit
       - run: |
           echo "<< parameters.commit-msg >>  << parameters.AppName-msg >>"
workflows:
  workflow:
    jobs:
      - build:
          commit-msg: GIT_COMMIT_MESSAGE
          AppName-msg: $GIT_COMMIT_MESSAGE

the result is

any suggestion?

Sorry for late response. Have you tried echoing without quotes?

echo << parameters.commit-msg >>  << parameters.AppName-msg >>
