/busybox/sh: syntax error: bad substitution with Tekton

10/6/2020

I'm trying to pull source code from Github then build and push a docker image to docker hub using Tekton pipeline and Knative on Kubernetes cluster. I'm following this link for the installation and setup of Tekton: https://www.ibm.com/cloud/blog/build-a-knative-service-with-tekton-and-apache-openwhisk-nodejs-runtime

When trying to build and push the image, am getting error:

When checked the logs for error msg, I'm getting:
