Message param does not recognize concourse parameters

[tanjoht]

When using the message: parameter, the string does not replace the built in concourse parameters with the proper values.

ie:
- put: slack-alert
params:
alert_type: failed
message: "${BUILD_TEAM_NAME} Vault Smoke Tests Failed. Refer to the Runbooks at: none yet"

output in slack:
${BUILD_TEAM_NAME} Vault Smoke Tests Failed. Refer to the Runbooks at: none yet

Ya, this resource has never done variable expansion in the message itself. This is a Go resource so bash things like ${BUILD_TEAM_NAME} don't auto-expand.

You can build it ahead of time with whatever values you want and pass it in as message_file.

I'm going to close this because it's not actionable.
