How to reuse an existing workspace?

[jesus fernandez]

I am quite new to Jenkins, I have been learning on my own, I have a working freestyle project that I want to convert to pipeline now, I have the script (at least I think) but I do not know what to add to make it use the existing workspace from the freestyle job so when pulling from the SCM does not have to download the whole project again as it is 150gb. I have look into the declarative pipeline documentation what I have not found anything on this regard

I think you can use the "customWorkspace" option.

https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/

I use the declarative and scripted pipelines, so I don't know if there is that option in freestyle too.

Cheers,

Gianluca.

Thanks for answering so quickly, I saw this but I got confused as I do not use any node I just declared agent any and then the stages, I guess I could do it like this? 

pipeline 

{   

    agent {

        node {

            label 'master'

            customWorkspace '/MyExistingPath'

        }

    }

    options { timestamps () }

    stages{

....

Thanks
