Getting all workspace paths

[Artur Szostak]

Hello,

How is one supposed to get the workspaces produced by multiple runs of a job if it is allowed to execute builds concurrently? For example, a job called myjob will have workspaces myjob, myjob@2, myjob@3 etc for 3 concurrent builds. There are plenty of examples that indicate to use getWorkspaceFor from hudson.model.Node. But the API only returns one workspace, not all workspaces for all concurrent builds. Is the API broken?

Kind regards.

Artur

You would have to append the suffix yourself. Probably you should not be attempting this to begin with. Consider cloud agents with transient workspaces, etc. What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?

I am trying to clean up multiple workspaces created by a job that is allowed to run concurrently on a dumb node.
I see no consistent facility to cleanup all the workspaces in the GUI. Thus, I need to script it. But now I see that the API is inconsistent also.
OK, I will have to try guess the paths then, and hope I am right.

Is there any way for the secondary workspaces not to get a @<number> suffix? i.e. what other suffices do I have to look out for?

Cheers

Artur
