Same workspace for multiple jobs


Suppose your "development" Jenkins job workspace is /var/workspace/job1. In the "code analysis" job configuration page, under the tab General click on Advanced... and select the option Use custom workspace and give the same workspace /var/workspace/job1 as of your "development" job.


if you were not able to find Use custom workspace you can located it under your project configure>General>Advanced>Use custom workspace


There is a Jenkins Plugins which enables you to create a shared workplace a setup them on every job which need the files from that given repository.

Use Case:

Similar to what you need, first create two jobs from the same Git Repository, then go to "Manage Jenkins" and you create a Shared Workspace. And point to it, on every job you need to read from that files.

PS: You should look into "Known Issues" could be a deal breaker for your needs.

sometimes, on fresh copied job, shared-space url parameter not saving to config on first "save", you should save job twice to be sure.

^^ This one it's still unresolved, I tried and still happens. After some several saves (just to be sure) the job runs perfectly.
