How to retrieve current workspace using Jenkins Pipeline Groovy script?

Question

I am trying to get the current workspace of my Jenkins build using a Groovy pipeline script:

node(\'master\') {
    // PULL IN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
    // J         


        

Answer 1

This is where you can find the answer in the job-dsl-plugin code.

Basically you can do something like this:

readFileFromWorkspace('src/main/groovy/com/groovy/jenkins/scripts/enable_safehtml.groovy')

Answer 2

There is no variable included for that yet, so you have to use shell-out-read-file method:

sh 'pwd > workspace'
workspace = readFile('workspace').trim()

Or (if running on master node):

workspace = pwd()

Answer 3

I think you can also execute the pwd() function on the particular node:

node {
    def PWD = pwd();
    ...
}

Answer 4

For me just ${workspace} worked without even initializing the variable 'workspace.'

Answer 5

I have successfully used as shown below in Jenkinsfile:

steps {
  script {
    def reportPath = "${WORKSPACE}/target/report"
    ...
  }
}

Answer 6

A quick note for anyone who is using bat in the job and needs to access Workspace:

It won't work.

$WORKSPACE https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-33511 as mentioned here only works with PowerShell. So your code should have powershell for execution

 stage('Verifying Workspace') {
  powershell label: '', script: 'dir $WORKSPACE'
}
