I have a build step that builds my projects and packs it into a myfile.jar and put it in my artifacts dir.

i have also told jenkins to archive the myfile.jar.

now i want to add another build step to execute shell command java -jar myfile.jar and install it for further testings

how can i tell jenkins to point to myfile.jar when executing the shell command ? i don’t know the artifacts dir name since it’s dynamically created with build number etc…

thanks.

    The artifacts directory is on the master, not the slave.

    If both are on the same machine for you, the artifacts reside at:

    $JENKINS_HOME/jobs/$JOB_NAME/$BUILD_ID/archive
    

    However, like Anders Lindahl said, archiving an artifact does not delete it from the workspace; why not use it directly from there. Generally, you do not want to disturb the archives directories…
