Zip multiple files/folders from the workspace directory using zip utility

Question

We have a Jenkins pipeline and I want to zip multiple files(.py and .cfg) located in multiple directories within my workspace. Is there a way we can pass multiple values to dir option of the zip method?

zip (zipFile: "package.zip", dir: "${WORKSPACE}/infra/folder1/")

P.S: I can add an additional stage before zip process and move all the required files to a folder and archive that folder using above zip method, but I would like to avoid an additional step/stage

just an idea here... you could pass the workspace as your `dir` and play with`glob` parameter to specify the file names that start with the folders that you want — Pedreiro, Jun 12 '19 at 02:26

I have looked at the sources for that JENKINS Pipeline Utility Steps Plugin in jenkinsci/pipeline-utility-steps-plugin:

Nothing suggests you could:

pass multiple directories
execute the zip step multiple times for one archive, appending folders to an existing archive

So you have to:

either, as suggested, use the right shell glob pattern
make a pre-step in which you copy multiple folder top one common folder, where you can then apply the zip step.
