Pass parent workspace in build flow

[GS_L]

Hi

I have a build flow that runs several builds.

I want that all builds workspace will be under the parent workspace.

I pass the parent workspace through DSL:

The parent workspace is 'NightlyBuild'.

 

build("job1", parent_workspace:build.workspace) 

In job1 - I changed the workspace by checking the 'Use custom workspace'

in 'Directory' I entered the $parent_workspace variable

Results:

The job1 workspace set to '/var/lib/jenkins/$parent_workspace/' instead of '/var/lib/jenkins/NightlyBuild'.

Thanks

I’m not sure “workspace” is a field of “build”.

You right I used this to get the parent work space:

workspace = build.properties["environment"]["JENKINS_HOME"]+"/"+build.properties["environment"]["JOB_NAME"]

build("job1", parent_workspace:build.workspace) 

But still cannot pass it to the downstream jobs.

You might find this easier:

 

Build (“job1”, parent_workspace: build.properties["environment"]["WORKSPACE"])

no matter what you do this is not really a good thing to do and does not scale (the workspace is tied to the node) - so you will require all the jobs to run on the same node (it is a good practice to have a single exectutor per node - so you can see where this is heading!).  

If you want to do multiple jobs with the same files then you should look at the Clone Workspace SCM Plugin or think about migrating to workflow (which may require you to rearchitect bits of your jobs).
