Major A workspace mapping containing a variable reference (example and log output below) will fail to poll for changes due to the variable not getting resolved. Manually running the build will properly resolve the variable and update the workspace view. However, when a poll is executed, the workspace view is replaced with the raw template that does not have the variable's value inserted.
The variable is defined using the standard Jenkins environment variable plugin.
Example:
//tools/sun/jdk1.8.0_45/${JAVA_PLATFORM}/... //CLIENT_NAME/tools/${JAVA_PLATFORM}/...
