`System.getenv` is exactly what it is using: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/model-core/src/main/java/org/gradle/api/internal/provider/sources/EnvironmentVariableValueSource.java#L39|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/model-core/src/main/java/[…]i/internal/provider/sources/EnvironmentVariableValueSource.java>

Maybe set a breakpoint in the `obtain` method there and then look in the debugger what is going on.

does the environment variable contain dots or dashes? Or is it only alphanumeric, with underscores? Sometimes those can behave differently on different machines.

But if it works with `System.getenv` which is also used by the provider?
How could it then be machine-dependent?
