      Description

      Base slave install with nothing in the home directory.

      Standard Freestyle project creates the full path $JENKINS_HOME\workspace\<job name>.

      Workflow project fails the scm step with abort: The system cannot find the path specified: $JENKINS_HOME\workspace\<job name>

      Manually creating the $JENKINS_HOME\workspace directory fixes the issue unless the scm step specifies a sub-directory, in which case the parent of the sub-directory also has to be manually created.

      Workflow script was a simple:

      node('slave-name') {
  checkout([$class: 'MercurialSCM', ...])
}

            Probably suffices to have the script do something to create the directory before checkout.

            The existing test does not reproduce such a problem.

            How would one go about adding a script to make the missing directory. As far as I can tell the scm checkout is the first thing that happens on a project.

            Working OK for me in Jenkins 1.651.3 with up-to-date Pipeline plugins and version 1.54 of the Mercurial plugin.

            Workaround would be simple: precede checkout with, say, writeFile file: '.junk', text: ''. But of course I would like to learn how to reproduce.

            I think I have it: you have to have an installation with caching enabled, and be cloning from a non-file-protocol source. Otherwise --rev is added, which implies --pull, which (for some reason) creates intermediate directories for you.
