Hi,
Recently, someone in our shop had his first tries with the workflow plugin.
Some context: he wanted as a first step to ensure a specific directory in
the workspace would be removed. Here's an excerpt (warning: don't run it,
read below):
node('rhel'){
dir('workingdirectory'){
File currentWorkingDirectory = new File('.')
currentWorkingDirectory.deleteDir()
}
...
}
The thing is: it seems like the standard steps will know about this (doing
a sh 'pwd' would indeed display the
/somepath/.jenkins/jobs/workspace.../therightws/workingdirectory).
BUT, using new File('.') will NOT put you inside that subdirectory of the
WS. Guess what, it will point to $HOME :-).
So the code above will just basically totally wipe out your Jenkins master
data... The good news is that we've now thoroughly tested our backup and
it's working perfectly :-).
So, I'm not sure there's something doable, but at least that would be
desirable because of that dangerosity.
WDYT?
At least, I hope this mail will warn people to have caution in that area.
Cheers
