Jenkins Pipeline Job with file parameter

Question

I\'m putting together a Jenkins pipeline job which will take a file parameter. I can trigger the job and point it at a file however I can\'t find where the file has ended up

Answer 1

Tried what Christoph suggested and it didnt work for me. Here is what worked for me and the setup which I have, his should help others figure out what to do.

Problem: I am executing my pipeline on dedicated nodes and use sanitized workspaces. After some research and troubleshooting I found out that by default the file upload only works with Master node. I realized this after digging through the file system and finding the file I am uploading in the workspace on the master

Solution:

stage('Upload Key') {
    agent { label 'master' }
    steps {
        script {
            // Uploads file via master node and stases it for other nodes to access
            def inputFile = input message: 'Upload file', parameters: [file(name: "key.p12")]
            new hudson.FilePath(new File("${workspace}/key.p12")).copyFrom(inputFile)
            inputFile.delete()
        }
        stash name: 'key.p12' , includes: "key.p12"
    }
}
    stage('Register') {
        steps {
            ws (sanitizedWorkspaceName) {
                echo "Registering"
                unstash 'key.p12'
            }
        }
    }

1. Execute the suggested file copy solution by Christoph. This stores the file in the job workspace on the master node
2. Allow the scripts in Manage Jenkins > In Process Script approval
3. use the stash step to stash the uploaded file
4. In the target stage "running on a different node" use the unstash

Hope this helps
