[JIRA] (JENKINS-53750) Shell scripts keep the working directory locked on Windows

[dnusb...@cloudbees.com (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Devin Nusbaum commented on JENKINS-53750   Re: Shell scripts keep the working directory locked on Windows While it would be nice to improve the behavior here, it seems like there are some straightforward workarounds if I understand correctly: Move the directory manipulation into your sh/bat script, and combine your scripts into one (it's generally better to combine your scripts anyways) Add a manual sleep between sh/bat steps in cases where both scripts both modify the same directory in the workspace. We do not explicitly test using `sh` on Windows, so although you may be able to get it working with Cygwin, MSys, etc., and we will do our best to fix any regressions we introduce, it is not recommended, and something like this that has never worked (as far as I can tell) does not seem like something we would prioritize for a fix. That said, the code is open source, and if you want to work on fixing it, I am happy to help review your changes. I would start with creating a reproduction test in workflow-durable-task-step step along the lines of the following to demonstrate the issue: @Issue("JENKINS-53750") @Test public void cleanupBeforeStepCompletes() throws Exception { Assume.assumeTrue("Test is Windows-specific", Functions.isWindows()); WorkflowJob p = j.jenkins.createProject(WorkflowJob.class, "p"); p.setDefinition(new CpsFlowDefinition("node {\n" + " dir('foo/bar') {\n" + " sh 'sleep 1'\n" + " }\n" + " bat 'rename foo baz'\n" + "}", true)); j.assertBuildStatusSuccess(p.scheduleBuild2(0)); } Once you have that test failing in the way you intend, you could make changes to BourneShellScript/FileMonitoringTask in durable-task to see how they affect the test. I don't have an environment to be able to reproduce the issue myself, but maybe something like switching these two lines so the workspace is cleaned up before the script exits would help?
