How to change the current workspace in a pipeline script?

[Sandra Parsick]

Hello,

I'd like to change the current workspace in a pipeleine script. My naive approach is the following script

pipeline {
    agent any
    environment {
        WORKSPACE = '/home/sparsick'
    }
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                sh 'echo $WORKSPACE'
                sh 'pwd'
            }
        }
     
    }
}

The output of this script:

Running on Jenkins in /home/sparsick/dev/jenkins-2.0/workspace/Workspace Change In Pipeline
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] withEnv
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Build)
[Pipeline] sh
[Workspace Change In Pipeline] Running shell script
+ echo /home/sparsick
/home/sparsick
[Pipeline] sh
[Workspace Change In Pipeline] Running shell script
+ pwd
/home/sparsick/dev/jenkins-2.0/workspace/Workspace Change In Pipeline
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // withEnv
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: SUCCESS

I expected that the output of the pwd command is the same as the output of the echo command. But It isn't. So my question how I can change the current workspace in a pipeline script?

Thank you and best regards,

Sandra
