How can I execute Shell script in Jenkinsfile?

Based on the number of views this question has, it looks like a lot of people are visiting this to see how to set up a job that executes a shell script.

These are the steps to execute a shell script in Jenkins:

• In the main page of Jenkins select New Item.
• Enter an item name like "my shell script job" and chose Freestyle project. Press OK.
• On the configuration page, in the Build block click in the Add build step dropdown and select Execute shell.

• In the textarea you can either paste a script or indicate how to run an existing script. So you can either say:

  #!/bin/bashecho "hello, today is $(date)" > /tmp/jenkins_test

  or just

  /path/to/your/script.sh

• Click Save.

Now the newly created job should appear in the main page of Jenkins, together with the other ones. Open it and select Build now to see if it works. Once it has finished pick that specific build from the build history and read the Console output to see if everything happened as desired.

You can get more details in the document Create a Jenkins shell script job in GitHub.

If you see your error message it says

Building in workspace /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/AutoScript

and as per your comments you have put urltest.sh in

/var/lib/jenkins

Hence Jenkins is not able to find the file. In your build step do this thing, it will work

cd             # which will point to /var/lib/jenkins./urltest.sh   # it will run your script

If it still fails try to chown the file as jenkin user may not have file permission, but I think if you do above step you will be able to run.

There's the Managed Script Plugin which provides an easy way of managing user scripts. It also adds a build step action which allows you to select which user script to execute.
