How to set env variables which contain a command using EnvInject plugin of Jenkins

I have installed the EnvInject plugin of Jenkins. I add it in the properties content (In script content also doesn't work: echo's nothing) I able to set environment variable e.g.:

TEST="hello world"

In shell:

echo ${TEST}
Output: Hello World

But when I try to put the output of a command in my variable it doesn't work:

HOSTNAME=`hostname`

In Shell

echo ${HOSTNAME}
Output: `hostname`

While when I set the environment variable in my shell (without the plugin it works): In Shell

HOSTNAME=`hostname`
echo ${HOSTNAME}
Output: localhost

From job configuration you should use Inject environment variables to the build process / Evaluated Groovy script.

Depending on the configuration you could execute command and save it in map containing environment variables:

return [HOSTNAME: 'hostname'.execute().text]

or run Groovy equivalent:

return [HOSTNAME: java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()]
