Jenkins: Copy from build folder on master to workspace on slave

Question

I have installed Test Complete plugin on my Jenkins instance and I would like to copy the junitResult.xml that is generated in the build folder on the master to the workspace on the slave. Is it possible to do this securly?

Answer 1

if you use the pipeline, then you can use stash/ustash option.

Stash the junitResult.xml file on master node, and then unstash on another node to workspace.

Answer 2

1) install "Copy Artifact Plugin"
2) master job post build step: archive the artifacts junitResult.xml
3) slave job build step: Copy artifacts from other projects - specify project name, which build and artifact to copy - junitResult.xml

Answer 3

If someone is interested by this topic, I have sucessfully done it by using a groovy script. In my case (TestComplete plugin integration with Jenkins), I copied a file named junitResult.xml to the workspace. Here is the scipt:

import hudson.FilePath;
import hudson.Launcher;
import hudson.model.AbstractBuild;
import hudson.model.BuildListener;

FilePath getMasterLogDirectory(AbstractBuild build) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
  String buildDir = build.getRootDir().getAbsolutePath();
  FilePath masterLogDirectory = new FilePath(new File(buildDir + File.separator + "junitResult.xml"));
  return masterLogDirectory;
}

FilePath getSlaveWorkspace(AbstractBuild build, Launcher launcher, BuildListener listener) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
  String workspacePath = build.getEnvironment(listener).get("WORKSPACE");
    if (workspacePath == null) {
      throw new IOException(Messages.TcTestBuilder_InternalError());
    }

  FilePath projectWorkspaceOnSlave = new FilePath(launcher.getChannel(), workspacePath);
  projectWorkspaceOnSlave.mkdirs();
  return projectWorkspaceOnSlave.absolutize();
}

def junitName = "junitResult.xml"

FilePath slaveWorkspacePath = getSlaveWorkspace(build, launcher, listener)

FilePath  slaveJunitFilePath = new FilePath(slaveWorkspacePath, junitName);

getMasterLogDirectory(build).copyTo(slaveJunitFilePath )
