Jenkins, how do I ZIP the workspace post-build?

Question

I have a Jenkins job that retrieves a workspace from SVN. How can I set Jenkins to create a ZIP out of the workspace folder?

Answer 1

You have not specified the platform. On windows I used NAnt script to do this.

    <zip zipfile="<Path where file will be created>\<your file>.zip">
        <fileset basedir="<Path to the folder to be zipped>">
                <include name="**/*" />
        </fileset>          
    </zip>

On Linux/UNIX, Ant provides the same stuff but with more options.
