Using environment variable for 'recipients:' in Jenkins Pipeline Mailer

I have a list of email ids in a Jenkins environment variable(emailsdl) and trying to use this for recipients: in Jenkins Pipeline Mailer as below:

mail (to: 'Mailer', recipients: '${env.emailsdl}',
 subject: "Job '${env.JOB_NAME}' (${env.BUILD_NUMBER}) is waiting for input",
 body: "Please go to ${env.BUILD_URL}.")

With the above code I am not receiving email and receiving an error:

Email not sent. No recipients of any kind specified ('to', 'cc', 'bcc').

But when I replace ${env.emailsdl} with real email([email protected]) then it does trigger an email. I even tried env['emailsdl'] and it didn't work.

Is there a way I can pass environment variable for recipients in this case?

In groovy if you use single quoted string it will not be interpolated, which means that in the string '${env.emailsdl}' the variable env.emailsdl will not be replaced. You need to use double quoted string: "${env.emailsdl}"

@Gergely: Your suggestion helped me resolving my issue. The problem is that I have a local environment variable which was assigned with a value from other global environment variable: globalVar = [email protected] and emailsdl=${globalVar} is in job's local properties. Now I am calling this emailsdl in pipeline script. This has been resolved by: 

env.((env.emailsdl).replaceAll("\$", ""))
