[FIXED] In Jenkins/Groovy, why is the redirection in echo > file not printed in the console output?

Issue

In my Groovy Jenkins pipeline, I have the following:

sh(script: """#!/bin/bash
    set -ex
    echo 'sometext' > test1.txt
    """)

But in the Jenkins logs, it looks like this:

[Pipeline] script
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] sh
11:43:28  + echo sometext

That is, it seems to ignore the ">" operator completely. Is there something I'm doing wrong with the escaping?

Solution

i think that's how -x prints the commands into output

try

set -ev

instead of

set -ex

-v Print shell input lines as they are read.
