Andy Bigos commented on JENKINS-8346:
-------------------------------------
I have a similar problem with matrix configs. I'm copying the changelog.xml
file into my workspace. So for a simple build I have:
jobs/$JOB_NAME/builds/$BUILD_ID/changelog.xml
with path set relative to HUDSON_HOME. This works for a simple project,
however for a matrix project the $JOB_NAME gets expanded to the matrix element
job name - this means the copy will fail as the source directory is not on the
master. In the case of a matrix projects I think the plugin needs to use the
'base' project path, not the path for a matrix element.
Can you confirm this is an issue? I can log it as new issue if you think it's
different to the current issue.
Thanks

> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: copy-to-slave
> Affects Versions: current
> Reporter: psoetens
> Assignee: Daniel Petisme
>
> copy-to-slave does nothing when the job runs on the master. This is the wrong
> behavior if the job is a multi-configuration project, because these jobs run
> with a modified workspace, depending on the parameter of the current job.
> What the plugin should do when the job is running on the master, is to check
> if the file in the 'default' workspace is identical to the target file (it
> won't be in a multi-config build) and if not, copy it to the new workspace.
> For example, the job on master has this workspace:
> $ pwd
> .../hudson/jobs/bootstrap-toolchain/workspace
> $ ls
> buildconf config-env.yml config.yml my-bootstrap.sh TARGET
> where TARGET is the first category for the parametrization. The job will
> never run in this 'workspace' dir, but somewhere deep in the TARGET subdir.
> So copy-to-slave should copy the file from this workspace into the deep
> 'multi-config' workspace.
> For example, when my job runs, these variables are set:
> JOB_NAME=bootstrap-toolchain/TARGET=gnulinux,arch=amd64,branch=master
> WORKSPACE=.../hudson/jobs/bootstrap-toolchain/workspace/TARGET/gnulinux/arch/amd64/branch/master
> I hope this report is clear about the issue.
