Jenkins doesn't change directory through sh 'cd directory' command

Just for the record because it is more descriptive and you are using descriptive pipelines ;)

If you want to do some work in specific directory, there is a step for that:

stage('Test') {  steps {      dir('ios') { // or absolute path      sh '/usr/local/bin/fastlane build_and_push'    }  }}

The following example

pipeline {    agent any    stages {        stage('mkdir') {            steps {              sh'mkdir ios && touch ios/HelloWorld.txt'              }        }        stage('test') {            steps {              dir('ios') {                  sh'ls -la'              }            }        }    }}

produces the outut

[Pipeline] stage[Pipeline] { (mkdir)[Pipeline] sh+ mkdir ios 6073 touch ios/HelloWorld.txt[Pipeline] }[Pipeline] // stage[Pipeline] stage[Pipeline] { (test)[Pipeline] dirRunning in /stuff/bob/workspace/test-1/ios[Pipeline] {[Pipeline] sh+ ls -latotal 12drwxrwxr-x 3 bob bob 4096 Sep 20 13:34 .drwxrwxr-x 6 bob bob 4096 Sep 20 13:34 ..drwxrwxr-x 2 bob bob 4096 Sep 20 13:34 HelloWorld.txt[Pipeline] }[Pipeline] // dir[Pipeline] }[Pipeline] // stage[Pipeline] }[Pipeline] // node[Pipeline] End of Pipeline

This because of all Jenkins commands run in directory [Jenkins home]/workspace/[your pipeline name] (I hope you use pipeline).

If you have some need to change directory then your script should be like:

node {    stage("Test") {        sh script:'''          #!/bin/bash          echo "This is start $(pwd)"          mkdir hello          cd ./hello          echo "This is $(pwd)"        '''    }}

And your output will be:

Second sh command will start in workspace directory.

Run your commands using below format, thats how any shell script can be run through in Jenkins file.

// Shell format:sh """ #!/bin/bash your command"""

Example:

    sh """     #!/bin/bash    cd /Users/igor/.jenkins/workspace/MobileAppsPipeline/ios    ls -l    /usr/local/bin/fastlane build_and_push    """
