I want a dir that holds files which the different builds will reference. The
contents should be the same on all slaves, and I'd like to specify the same
thing
as the path (e.g. "${FS_ROOT}/common") on all jobs on all slaves. I'd like to
update this dir automatically.
Currently, I'm setting up
1. a slave-specific environment variable BASE[1],
2. a job whose workspace dir is set to be ${BASE}/extensions, that pulls a
Mercurial repository down. (The repository contains Mercurial extensions we use
in several of our builds.)
3. other jobs that, as needed, tell Mercurial to use one or more of those
extensions. Mercurial requires an absolute path.
I really don't care where this job puts its workspace, but I need to be able to
reference it from other jobs with a local absolute path. I expect that the
above approach will work,
though it seems silly that I have to tell Jenkins what its filesystem root is,
when it already knows it.
[1] On Windows slaves, the BASE environment variable is already defined, but
not on OSX slaves, so I define it just on them.
Thank you,
Todd Greer
