How to get the absolute path of a file (from workspace) in Jenkins pipeline script (in windows environment)

Question

How to get the absolute path of a file (from workspace) in Jenkins pipeline script (in windows environment)

File locations (The files are checked-out from Git and Jenkinsfile2.nprd will have the groovy pipeline script):

C:/Program Files (x86)/Jenkins/workspace/dev-my-api/my-data-api/my-data-api/pom.xml C:/Program Files (x86)/Jenkins/workspace/dev-my-api/my-data-api/Jenkinsfile2.nprd

Script:

 stages {
        stage('Setup')  {
            steps {
                script {
                  pomPath = findFiles(glob: "**/pom.xml")[0].path
                  env.WORKSPACE = pwd()
                  pomDir = bat(script: "for %%F in ($pomPath) do set dirname=%%~dpF", returnStdout: true).trim()
                  echo "env.WORKSPACE:" + env.WORKSPACE
                  echo "pom file path:" + pomPath
                  echo "pom directory****:" + pomDir
                }
            }
        }
}

Output:

env.WORKSPACE:C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\dev-my-api
pom file path:my-data-api\pom.xml
pom directory****:C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\my-data-api>for %F in (my-data-api\pom.xml) do set dirname=%~dpF

Requried path:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Jenkins/workspace/dev-my-api/my-data-api

How to get the above required path in Jenkins pipeline script without hard coding?

pomPath = findFiles(glob: "**/$pomFile")[0].path
env.WORKSPACE = pwd()
def projectName = new File(pomPath).parent
baseDir = "${env.WORKSPACE}/$projectName"

I am able to get the required path. But looking for a cleaner solution.

Try out the following (find pom.xml relative path & get the full path)

 def pomPath = findFiles(glob: "**/pom.xml")[0].path
 echo new File(env.WORKSPACE, pomPath).getParent() +"\pom.xml"

Shouldn't that require script approvals? new File() and File.getParent() both? pomPath will be a FileWrapper instance.

beware of using File object. The CPS groovy executes some portions on master which won't have the file on it if you run on a node. It can be useful for constructing and decomposing paths but beyond that it can yield failures

Modified Pipeline Script

pipeline {
    agent any 
    stages {
        stage('Setup')  {
            steps {
                script {
                    // Find the pom.xml file and get its relative path
                    def pomPath = findFiles(glob: "**/pom.xml")[0].path
                    
                    // Get the absolute workspace path
                    def workspacePath = env.WORKSPACE
                    
                    // Combine workspace path and pomPath to get the absolute path
                    def fullPomPath = "${workspacePath}/${pomPath}".replace('\\', '/')
                    
                    // Use the full absolute path to get the directory
                    def pomDir = bat(script: "for %F in (\"${fullPomPath}\") do @echo %~dpF", returnStdout: true).trim()
                    
                    // Remove any trailing new lines and whitespace
                    pomDir = pomDir.replace('\\', '/').trim()
                    
                    echo "Workspace: ${workspacePath}"
                    echo "Pom file path: ${pomPath}"
                    echo "Pom directory: ${pomDir}"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The output should now correctly

Workspace: C:/Program Files (x86)/Jenkins/workspace/dev-my-api
Pom file path: my-data-api/pom.xml
Pom directory: C:/Program Files (x86)/Jenkins/workspace/dev-my-api/my-data-api
