Agent fails to run the job because working directory doesn't exist

[Marcos de Vera Piquero]

Hi,

I'm trying to move our current Jenkins setup based on one single master to a distributed one.  My first tests were unsuccessful because the agent is unable to move into the working directory because it doesn't exist[0].

I don't know why it doesn't exist, if the agent is unable to create it or whatever, it's my first time working with agents.  If I manually create the directory and I replay the job, it works flawlessly.  It doesn't seem to be a permissions issue because as the jenkins user I can create the directory to make it work.

If there's anything else that may help to find out the issue, please ask.

Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying to move our current Jenkins setup based on one single
master to a distributed one. My first tests were unsuccessful
because the agent is unable to move into the working directory
because it doesn't exist[0].

I don't know why it doesn't exist, if the agent is unable to
create it or whatever, it's my first time working with agents.
If I manually create the directory and I replay the job, it

You need to make sure the configured workspace base directory exists on  the slave node (check yuor slave configs, it should be /var/lib/jenkins/workspace ).

It actually exists and it made no difference moving it to build on
master, where it also exists. And permissions are OK for the user
running Jenkins, double checked.

What I've found is that removing the nvm() { ... } wrap from my
Jenkinsfile it works OK, so I've filled a bug[0] for nvm-wrapper-plugin,
also after some chat in #jenkins with some other users.

Thanks,
