      Since the change of default working directory from /home/jenkins to home/jenkins/agent (see JENKINS-58705), it is possible to change the working directory back to /home/jenkins but this does not survive a restart.

      This behavior is quite confusing.

      Reproduce

      • Create a pod template and set the working Directory to /home/jenkins
      • Restart Jenkins
      • Check the pod template configuration

      *Expected*

      • The pod template configuration hasn't changed. The working directory is /home/jenkins

      *Actual*

      • The pod template configuration has changed. The working directory is /home/jenkins/agent.

      Source

      The descriptor migrates the value: https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-plugin/blob/kubernetes-1.21.1/src/main/java/org/csanchez/jenkins/plugins/kubernetes/ContainerTemplate.java#L435-L441

      Workaround

      A reliable way to use /home/jenkins as a working directory use YAML definition to define container templates

          Comment [ Hi guys,  We are still experiencing this bug, we are on jenkins 2.222.44 , k8s version v1.15.10 and jenkins kubernetes plugin version 1.26.0.

          All our jobs that were reliant on the workDir  set as /home/jenkins fail as the plugin 1.26 still uses  /home/jenkins/agent.

          We add set it in the Jenkinsfile to manually use the workDir as /home/jenkins but not ideal as have hundreds of jobs.

          I can send on any logs if needed. Just letting you know about this issue just in case you are hearing from others also.

          Thank you folks

          Brian ]
