Ggtcf

i have a Jenkins pipeline, which triggers a Jenkins groovy script via SCM, this script will create a file(if the file is not present) and write else it will update the file and doing some stuffs, this file need to be deleted.

below is the code of creating, writing and updating the file.

node(node_label)
 if (fileExists ( file_path+'/'+file_name ) )
 def readContent = readFile file_path+'/'+file_name
 writeFile file: file_path+'/'+file_name, text: readContent+'rn'+data
 else
 writeFile file: file_path+'/'+file_name, text:data
 
 

after doing some stuffs, i need to delete this file,
i tried deleting this as below, but its not working.

def Delfile = new File(path+'/'+file_name)
Delfile.delete()

I have following for manual workspace cleanup, so as you mentioned it should work as well, check bellow.

I am assuming then you are probably not correctly getting file path

//load jobs
def jobs = Jenkins.instance.getAllItems(Job.class)

//iterate over
for(job in jobs) 

//seems like they dont have workspace
 if(job instanceof hudson.model.ExternalJob)
 continue
 


 String workspace = null

 //pipelines dont have workspace
 if(job instanceof org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowJob)
 println ("workflow job, not cleaning") 
 continue
 

 try
 workspace = job.workspace
 catch(Exception e)
 //already clean eg.
 println ("no workspace, not cleaning") 
 workspace = null
 

 if(workspace != null)
 //creation of the workspace and modules folder
 //again not sure, but sometimes was failing due boolean ..
 if(workspace instanceof java.lang.Boolean)
 println "cant cleanup"
 continue
 

 File folder = new File(workspace) 

 //Check if the Workspace folder really exists
 if(folder!=null && folder.exists()) 
 //workspace cleanup

 //get files
 File[] files = null
 try
 files=new File(workspace).listFiles().sort()
 //println it.name 

 if(!it.isFile())
 it.deleteDir()
 else
 it.delete()
 
 
 catch(Exception e)
 println "cant clean: " + workspace 
 

 else
 println "workspace is not existing, not cleaning"
 
 
 

So, the core of the cleanup is:

 //get files
 File[] files = null
 try
 files=new File(workspace).listFiles().sort()
 //println it.name 

 if(!it.isFile())
 it.deleteDir()
 else
 it.delete()
 
 
 catch(Exception e)
 println "cant clean: " + workspace
