I wan to check from groovy pipeline if a specific file (artifact) was collected or not.

How can I access the list of artefacts?

archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'foo.txt', allowEmptyArchive: true
...
// much later
// check if 'foo.txt' was collected?

Please note that I am looking for a solution that does not imply modification of the code that collects the artifacts. This is because this code is in multiple places, I only need something to do at the end, not at any possible call of archiveArtifacts (which can be deeply hidden).

You can get the list of artifacts using jenkins api in either XML/JSON format.

call the below url. insert job-name and build-number

  http://localhost:8080/jenkins/job/job-name/build-number/api/json?pretty=true

Json Example:

"artifacts" : [
{
  "displayPath" : "temp.jar",
  "fileName" : "temp.jar",
  "relativePath" : "target/temp.jar"
}
]

  • This would not work because I would hit https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42380712/jenkins-pipeline-conditional-stage-succeeds-but-jenkins-shows-build-as-failed -- if this runs outside the node block, and it does, by design. I need something to access artifact list, i bet there is an object that can be queried. – sorin Nov 30 '17 at 14:10
  • i see. In that case Jenkins api can help you to get the info you need. I updated my answer – TrafLaw Nov 30 '17 at 14:32

    I don't like the idea of using API to get this info as it would increase the Jenkins server load considerably. This should be accessible directly. – sorin Feb 08 '18 at 13:50

It's possible to access the artifacts using something like currentBuild.rawBuild.artifacts.each { println it.fileName }, but you will need to whitelist rawBuild, artifacts and fileName properties.
