CLI option /Groovy script to wipe out work space

[BK-2]

Hi,

We have single Jenkins Master hosting number of Jobs.It is very laborious to use Jenkins console to wipe out workspace from Jobs.  I am looking for automated way to wipe out workspace.

I have explored Jenkins CLI but it does not contain any command for deletion of workspace.I was trying to put together a groovy script to delete the workspace but could not find appropriate functions in Jenkins API . has anyone faced similar issue ? Please help !!

Thanks in Advance

BK.

Hi,
what about Workspace cleanup plugin [1] or Distributed workspace clean plugin [2]?
If you are searching for a function how to delete workspace, it's build.getWorkspace().deleteRecursive()

Thanks Vjuranek.

Yes, we use Workspace cleanup plugin but I was looking for some scripted way to wipe out workspace for number for jobs in one go.

I will give a try to build.getWorkspace().deleteRecursive() .

I have tested simple groovy script  as below,

 def hi = hudson.model.Hudson.instance

           hi.getItemByFullName("JobName").getWorkspace().deleteRecursive()

But their is difference in behavior of   WipeOut workspace option on Jenkins and above script.

My groovy script removes all the files from workspace but not reference to Clearcase View. (P.S Clear case view is at different location)

whereas Jenkins Wipe out workspace removes all the references to workspace. It removes clearcase view present under different location.

If you want the SCM to remove the clearcase view

you will need to have the SCM process the workspace before deletion, you will need to get the SCM and call processWorkspaceBeforeDeletion() on it [1]

so from the project object call getScm() [2], then call that with processWorkspaceBeforeDeletion()

which should remove the view for that workspace.

You should call 

def hi = hudson.model.Hudson.instance

           hi.getItemByFullName("JobName").doWipeOutWorkspace()

it will perform the same action as clicking on the link in the UI.

Actually I had to make small tweak in the method name as below,

def hi = hudson.model.Hudson.instance

           hi.getItemByFullName("JobName").doDoWipeOutWorkspace()
