On Jenkins how can you detect if a server is Windows vs. Linux?

Question

On Jenkins I'm using the Conditional BuildStep Plugin. Is there a way to have it run some build steps depending on whether or not the slave node it's running on is Windows vs. Linux?

Answer 1

You can use isUnix() function available in jenkins for identifying the OS type.

So you can use something like below inside your jenkinsfile under script block:-

 if (isUnix()) {
    sh 'ls -la'
} else {
    bat 'dir'
}
