Is it possible to execute JavaScript script in post-build action in Jenkins?

Question

I need to execute JavaScript script after ending of build. This script should use npm packages. Installed plugin as I have is: post-build actions . I've found something like execute script with option: add generic file script . If I give here path to. js script, will it work? Where should I place this script?

I can not check it easily because I do not have full control of this Jenkins instance.

You can add you script to your npm package.json scripts section and run it like:

post {
  success {
    script {
      sh "npm run my-happy-script"
    }
  }
  failure {
    script {
      sh "npm run my-sad-script"
    }
  }
}

Also you can select which directory to run from with the dir command in your script block:

script {
  dir("lib/another/directory") {
    sh "node some-script.js"
  }
}
