We have a Jenkins server which has successfully built our code over 200 times - until a couple of days ago.
We are now getting an error to indicate that Jenkins was unable to delete the workspace (full message to follow with identifying elements redacted.)
I have checked through the recent code changes, and can see nothing which may have contributed to this issue, and nothing on that server has changed for weeks.
The stack trace suggests that "the context class hudson.FilePath is missing", but the config has not been changed from the config which worked over 200 times.
Can anybody suggest steps which could be taken to fix this ?

To clean up the workspace before build: Under Build Environment, check the box that says Delete workspace before build starts. To clean up the workspace after the build: Under the heading Post-build Actions select Delete workspace when build is done from the Add Post-build Actions drop down menu.
There is a way to clean up a workspace in Jenkins. You need to install the Workspace Cleanup Plugin. This plugin can clean up the workspace before build or after a build. Under Build Environment, check the box that says Delete workspace before build starts.
Login to Jenkins, click on “Manage Jenkins” > “Manage Plugins” > Click on the “Available” tab then search for “workspace cleanup“. You will see various plugins listed. Click on the checkbox for “Workspace Cleanup“, plugin then click on install without reboot tab below the page.
Deferred wipeout means that deletion takes place asynchronously to your build, that is: rename workspace directory to a temporary directory name, then. start a background task for deleting that temporary directory.
I finally found the solution that explains everything.
Cause: I was using docker within Jenkins and mounted Jenkins work directory in Docker (-v pwd:/code:rw). During runtime my program generate few files that also goes in to Jenkins work directory as it is mounted. but the user is docker root not Jenkins user, because of that Jenkins user is unable to delete those files and cause this error.
Solution: you can also share Jenkins user with docker, So all file created is same as file created by Jenkins itself.
docker run --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" -i --rm -v /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro -v `pwd`:/code:rw docker_image:tag So Adding This basically solve the issue by Using Jenkins user inside docker.
--user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
