How to archive the content of a folder recursively as artifacts on Jenkins?

recursion jenkins directory artifacts

My jenkins job creates a temporary subfolder, say "mydir", within the workspace that I then want to archive using the postbuild step "Archive artifacts".

I'm using the following command:

mydir/**/*

It works well but the archive will always contains mydir as the root of the artifacts whereas I would like to have the contents of this folder only.

How to do this?

You can use dir() to archive the artifact from inside the desired directory:

    stage('Archive') {
        steps {
            dir('mydir') {
                archiveArtifacts artifacts: '**'
            }
        }
    }
