Workspace does not exist in SCM checkout

[Francois Ferrand]

Hello,

I am trying to add Workflow support to the repo-plugin.

So far this is going well, but I have an issue with the workspace: when the checkout() method is called, the workspace directory does not actually exist, so the following workflow does not work:

node {

   checkout([$class: 'RepoScm', manifestRepositoryUrl:https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest])

}

If I add a simple shell step first (e.g. sh("echo")), things are working fine. The Git plugin seems to have no problem either.

I tried to lookup the API and the Git plugin, but could not find anything related to the workspace creation.

In case of Git plugin, it may actually work as a side effect of the call to "git init <workspace>".

I tried manually creating of the workspace directory if it does not exist, which works fine; but it seems somewhat weird to me, is this really the way to go?

Best regards,

Have you shared the code somewhere? It's difficult to know without taking a look to it.

If doing something with a `FilePath` that requires it to exist as a directory, call `mkdirs` first. Merely allocating a workspace does not force the directory to be created.

Code is on my fork of repo plugin: https://github.com/Typz/repo-plugin/tree/workflow-support

Ok, if mkdirs first is the way to go then everything is fine, this is already the solution I found.

Thanks,
