Jenkins 2.7 - How to list all files in a directory

[Kristian]

Hello all,

I have a problem. In a job of Jenkins, I want to iterate over a bunch
of files, e.g. *.c. This is done through a shell script for Linux,
e.g.

for f in $(ls *.c); do
echo "$f"
done

That is how it is written in the job. But when I start, Jenkins changes it into

++ ls '*.c'
ls: cannot access *.c: No such file or directory

As you can see, Jenkins changes the command
> ls *.c
into
> ls '*.c'

Is this a bug? Are there any workarounds?

Add #!/bin/bash as first line.

Looks like there are no such files and then the shell does not glob. Look for 'nullglob' in `man bash`.

Also, this is wrong. `for f in *.c` does the same thing, but has fewer bugs (spaces in file names etc.)
