I need to use a secret file in a post-build action in a Jenkins job. I'm using plain bash scripts and can't use Jenkinsfiles for some reasons.

But

The credentials plugin cannot use secret file env variables in any post build step. The secret files are deleted by the time post build actions are run.

The issue is described here https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-32283

What are available workarounds?

Using Jenkins pipeline scripts we can achieve this. – Ramakrishna Yelduti Dec 24 '18 at 16:08
@RamakrishnaYelduti. Thanks. I added a clarification that I use plain bash scripts and can't use pipelines in this particular case. – Hryhorii Liashenko Dec 24 '18 at 21:00

You can make copy of secret file before post build action and use that copy in your post build actions. – Amit Nanaware Dec 26 '18 at 13:36
@AmitNanaware As an option. Current approach: * code a secret as a base64 string * write the string to a file * decode the string in a post build step – Hryhorii Liashenko Dec 26 '18 at 14:43
