No files are reconciled or submitted when using forward slash in p4publish while files are synced okay even though there is a forward slash in p4sync.

 

There is a path (e.g. C:\jenkins\workspace\xxx/b) within the ws() command in the following pipeline script. The path contained a forward slash at the end. p4sync has always coped fine. However, no files are reconciled or submitted when using forward slash in p4publish.

 

stage('Publish') {

steps {

ws("${PUBLISH_WORKSPACE}") {

p4sync(

credential: ‘xxx’,

format: 'jenkins-${NODE_NAME}${JOB_NAME}${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}_publish',

populate: autoClean(),

source: streamSource(‘//xxx/xxx/xxx’)

)

}

 

bat 'XCopy /E /I /Y \"%BUILD_WORKSPACE%\\xxx\\xxx\” \"%PUBLISH_WORKSPACE%\\xxx\”’

 

ws("${PUBLISH_WORKSPACE}") {

p4publish(

credential: ‘xxx’,

publish: submit(

description: 'Submitted by Jenkins. Build: ${BUILD_TAG}',

onlyOnSuccess: false

),

workspace: staticSpec(

name: 'jenkins-${NODE_NAME}${JOB_NAME}${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}_publish'

)

)

}

}

}

 

Changing this to be a backslash seems to have fixed the issue that p4publish was having, and doesn't seem to have introduced any issues with p4sync.

 

The purpose of “ws("${PUBLISH_WORKSPACE}”)” was to run those stages in a Jenkins workspace that was contained within a sub folder.
