Change groovy scripts working directory #3891

salamay · 6 years ago

I want to execute a groovy script step inside a subdirectory of a configs working directory. How can i do this? for the buildscript step I see options to provide the build scritp path which can be different that the working directory. I want to do something like that with Execute Script step.

There is no working directory concept for groovy script execution. However you can always refer to sub directory under workspace directory this way:
new File(configuration.workspaceDir, "subdir")

This is what i wanna do

groovy:
def sRootDir = configuration.workspaceDir.absolutePath + '/' + vars.getValue("ProjectPath") + '/TestScripts/';
def sPythonExe = configuration.workspaceDir.absolutePath + '/' + vars.getValue("ProjectPath") + '/Tools/Python/python.exe';
def generateScriptCmd = '"' + sPythonExe + '" GenerateScript.py';
def proc1 = generateScriptCmd.execute();
proc1.waitFor();

I want generateScriptCmd to be executed inside sRootDir and not configuration.workspaceDir.absolutePath. If this was a batch script i would use pushd and popd but i dont know how to do it in a groovy script.

def proc1 = generateScriptCmd.execute(null, new File(sRootDir));
