Altering a pipeline bat function - where is the definition (Wow, why does he want to do that?)

[Martin Holeček]

Hello!

Dear all, please, where can I find the source code of the pipeline 'bat' command?

I would like to make my own function, that would run the bat command as a user ('batas').

I suppose, that there would be some java call to Windows CreateProcess, that can be simply made to call CreateProcessAsUser with every other functionality of pipeline bat remaining the same.

- Why not to run Jenkins service as another user? I dont want to tun the whole script as another user, I need to switch users dynamically .

- Why? Windows SUBST for drives can be altered only locally for a user and I want it to be altered ONLY for one build job to prevent conflicts. (So I will create temporary workspace users for that ("net user ..."))

- Why not to use pstools or powershell? ... That is my current approach, but in the end I love the functionality of pipeline bat (pstools for example cannot process longer arguments than 256 characters) and I suppose that it sould be easily altered...

Thank You very much guys!

`workflow-durable-task-step` + `durable-task` plugins

Not so easily.

Which I would recommend sticking with.

Have you tried
bat 'runas /user:foo mycommand'
or
Bat 'psexec user mycommand'

Sorry I see you have that working...

In the era of FreeStyleProjects there was the BuildWrapper.decorateLauncher but I don't know if there is any equivalent operation that can be done for a pipeline step, the documentation states that it won't work. But there is likely some way of switching out the Launcher in the context.

Thank You guys, I will look into `workflow-durable-task-step` + `durable-task` plugins and maybe at decorate launcher :)

(by the way, runas cannot have password specified and psexec sometimes swallows the output)

Again I would strongly advise you use `bat` and whatever command-line
tool Windows normally offers.
