Quoting of noweb references and variable noweb function arguments

Quoting of noweb references and variable noweb function arguments

I'm having an issue with quoting noweb functions. Since quote is used to
signify a variable being passed into the noweb syntax function call I
cannot put a quote around theno web function call and end up with invalid
bash.

I feel like I had this working at some point and it turned out that
:results value smartly handles quoting the values or something. I keep
seeming to run into the problem though of needing something like:

echo "<<nowebFunction(var1="variableOfCodeBlock")"

My org mode code complete with examples I hope are easy to understand are
at the bottom of this email.

Thanks,

* Function that mocks getting json with curl (typically I use restclient
blocks though or otherwise mix code blocks of differing languages)
** code
   #+name: get-login-json-mock
   #+begin_src sh :results value :var user="user1" pass="pass1" :noweb yes
   echo "{\"loginToken\": \"hunter2\", \"user\": \"$user\", \"pass\":
\"$pass\"}"
   #+end_src
   #+RESULTS: get-login-json-mock
   | loginToken": "hunter2 | user1 | pass1 |
** result: works fine
* pick out value from login json returned with jq
** code
   #+name: get-login-json-value
   #+begin_src sh :noweb yes :var logValUserVar="user2"
logValUserPass="pass2" jqExpr="[]keys"
   json=<<get-login-json-mock(user="$logValUserVar",pass="$logValPassVar")>>
   echo $json | jq $jqExpr
   #+end_src

   #+RESULTS: get-login-json-value
   | sh: line 2: hunter2 | : command not found |
** result: sh: line 2: hunter2 | : command not found |
* get login token function using previous functions
** code
   #+name: get-login-token
   #+call:
get-login-json-value(logValUserVar="user3",logValUserPass="user3",".loginToken")

   #+RESULTS: get-login-token
** result: nothing, because the previous step fails

You cannot pass src block variables to noweb. It is currently not supported.

And you cannot pass bash bindings to noweb. Noweb expansion happens
before executing the bash code. It is not possible to know that bash
assignments at that point.
