How to retrieve current workspace using Jenkins Pipeline Groovy script?

Question

I am trying to get the current workspace of my Jenkins build using a Groovy pipeline script:

node('master') {     // PULL IN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES     // Jenkins makes these variables available for each job it runs     def buildNumber = env.BUILD_NUMBER     def workspace = env.WORKSPACE     def buildUrl = env.BUILD_URL      // PRINT ENVIRONMENT TO JOB     echo "workspace directory is ${workspace}"     echo "build URL is ${env.BUILD_URL}" } 

It returns:

[Pipeline] Allocate node : Start Running on master in /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/jobs/test/workspace [Pipeline] node { [Pipeline] echo workspace directory is null [Pipeline] echo build URL is http://localhost:8080/job/test/5/ [Pipeline] } //node [Pipeline] Allocate node : End [Pipeline] End of Pipeline Finished: SUCCESS 

Answer 1

For me just ${WORKSPACE} worked without even initializing the variable workspace.

Answer 2

There is no variable included for that yet, so you have to use shell-out-read-file method:

sh 'pwd > workspace' workspace = readFile('workspace').trim() 

Or (if running on master node):

workspace = pwd()
