[P4 Plugin] P4_ROOT is not set properly - pointing to build workspace instead of p4 client root

XMLWordPrintable

      The following problem was observed in a pipeline type job:

      After the perforce scm step is executed the P4_ROOT environment variable is not set properly. It is pointing to the build workspace instead of the p4 client root of the client used during the scm step. I have tested it using static workspace behavior and the p4 preview option. Basically the P4_ROOT is the same as WORKSPACE environment variable, but it should be set to p4 clients root.

       

      agent{
  node{
      label "node1"
      customWorkspace "C:\\Custom\\BuildWorkspacePath"
  }
}
stages{
  stage('Test'){
    steps{
      // Perforce client myP4Client has p4 root set to C:\\myP4Client
      checkout perforce(credential: 'myP4Creds', populate: previewOnly(quiet: true), workspace: staticSpec(charset: 'none', name: 'myP4Client', pinHost: false))
      // P4_ROOT will be set to "C:\\Custom\\BuildWorkspacePath" instead of "C:\\myP4Client"
      echo "${currentBuild.rawBuild.getEnvironment()}"
    }
  }
}
