Major We updated to Jenkins LTS 2.401.1 via dockerhub. Since that version all our pipeline builds broke because the bat pipeline step seems to also return the command call itself in the result which it did not before. Powershell works.
See the following code to reproduce the problem
stage('Test') { steps { script { def result = bat(label: '', returnStdout: true, script: 'echo echotestresponse') echo "output from bat: $result" def psResult = powershell(label: '', returnStdout: true, script: 'echo echotestresponse') echo "output from powershell: $psResult" } } }
Output is:
17:17:18 [Pipeline] stage
17:17:18 [Pipeline] { (Test)
17:17:18 [Pipeline] script
17:17:18 [Pipeline] {
17:17:18 [Pipeline] bat
17:17:18 [Pipeline] echo
17:17:18 output from bat:
17:17:18 jenkins@HMJENKINS4 d:\jenkins\workspace\MPA_jenkins-fixing>echo echotestresponse
17:17:18 echotestresponse
17:17:18
17:17:18 [Pipeline] powershell
17:17:19 [Pipeline] echo
17:17:19 output from powershell: echotestresponse
17:17:19
17:17:19 [Pipeline] }
17:17:19 [Pipeline] // script
17:17:19 [Pipeline] }
17:17:19 [Pipeline] // stage
Additionally there is also a new line character at start of the result now.
A workaround seems to be to prefix any command with @ or @echo off explicitely.

Yes the output is there, but not returned and assigned to the variable. That is the problem.
We use it to get some infos from maven command like the pom version.

added a comment - The variable must be set otherwise the output wouldn't appear after the text
output from bat:
If this was the output of the step itself would have to appear before that line

If this was the output of the step itself would have to appear before that line I have seen the same and it confused me too. So I added a sleep between the echo and the bat execution.
See the output:
