Robocopy induced error in the pipeline

[niristotle okram]

Hi, 

This is not directly a jenkins issue, but i am clueless on why this is failing. All i trying to do is use robocopy (since we are using the damn-it windows) to copy over 2 files from a jenkins dir to my nodes. The part of the jenkins pipeline where its failing looks like this 

bat "robocopy %cd%${some_path1}${some_path2} ${path_to_node}\\a_folder1 file1 file2"

bat "robocopy %cd%${some_path1}${some_path3} ${path_to_node}\\a_folder2 file1 file2"

bat "robocopy %cd%${some_path1}${some_path4} ${path_to_node}\\a_folder3 file1 file2"

bat "robocopy %cd%${some_path1}${some_path5} ${path_to_node}\\a_folder4 file1 file2"

When the job comes to portion where the above code exist, it appears that the first line of robocopy is executed. And it exist.

Robocopy uses non-zero exit codes to indicate what it did rather than report a problem/failure -- which is likely how 'bat' interprets those. Try something like described here:

You may need to use 'exit /b 0' instead if 'exit 0' for Pipeline, not sure.

Thanks, yes the exit code is the cause for this. Had to change my batch lines like this 

bat "robocopy %cd%${some_path1}${some_path2} ${path_to_node}\\a_folder1 file1 file2 ^& IF %ERRORLEVEL% LEQ 1 exit 0"

bat "robocopy %cd%${some_path1}${some_path3} ${path_to_node}\\a_folder2 file1 file2 ^& IF %ERRORLEVEL% LEQ 1 exit 0"

With robocopy, exit codes 0 through 7 are considered successful codes so your compare should be LEQ 7. http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy-exit.html & https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/954404
