Check if a file exists in jenkins pipeline

Question

I am trying to run a block if a directory exists in my jenkins workspace and the pipeline step \"fileExists: Verify file exists\" in workspace does

Answer 1

You need to use brackets when using the fileExists step in an if condition or assign the returned value to a variable

Using variable:

def exists = fileExists 'file'

if (exists) {
    echo 'Yes'
} else {
    echo 'No'
}

Using brackets:

if (fileExists('file')) {
    echo 'Yes'
} else {
    echo 'No'
}
