[FIXED] Is there a way to programmatically specify pom.xml path in jenkinsfile

Issue

In a declarative pipeline, I manually specify pom.xml path in Jenkinsfile and Jenkins is able to locate it as expected at build time.

pipeline {
    agent any

    options {
        timestamps()
    }

    stages {

        stage('Compile') {
            steps {
                withMaven(maven: 'MAVEN_HOME') {
                    sh 'mvn -f /Users/jo/.jenkins/workspace/DeclarativePipelineDemo/Demo/pom.xml clean install' //filepath
                }
            }
        }
}

Now, is there a more elegant way to tell Jenkins to dynamically capture the workspace/pom.xml classpath directly from my project so I don't need to manually specify it?

Solution

If your Jenkinsfile in same repo of pom.xml, you can use relative path.

When Jenkins run you pipeline, it will automatically clone the repo that holds the Jenkinsfile to Jenkins slave.

If pom.xml in base dir of project, you can try

sh mvn -f pom.xml ...
