[JIRA] (JENKINS-47333) file parameter not working in pipeline job

I have the same problem. In my pipeline I have the following code (slightly modified):

file (
name: "dirinworkspace/file.txt",
description: 'A file that should be uploaded'
)

I expect the file to be in workspace/dirinworkspace/file.txt, but it's not there. This problem is at least present in Jenkins 2.113.

JENKINS-27413 comments describe why it does not work today and give a strong indication that it won't work in the future.

I created a small test case that I used to interactively verify the issue exists. The file parameter is accepted as part of the Declarative Pipeline job definition and the job accepts the uploaded file, but the file does not seem to be placed anywhere that I could detect. It was not placed in the workspace of the agent running the job, nor was it placed on the master file system. I believe that the comments from Jesse Glick in JENKINS-27413 explain why the file is not stored anywhere.
