Method Detail

discard

public abstract boolean discard(FilePath ws,
                                TaskListener listener)

Called to clean up a workspace that may potentially belong to this FileSystemProvisioner.

Because users may modify the file system behind Hudson, and slaves may come and go when configuration changes hapen, in general case Hudson is unable to keep track of which jobs have workspaces in which slaves.

So instead we rey on a garbage collection mechanism, to look at workspaces left in the file system without the contextual information of the owner project, and try to clean that up.

This method is called to do this, after Hudson determines that the workspace should be deleted to reclaim disk space. The implementation of this method is expected to sniff the contents of the workspace, and if it looks like the one created by FileSystemProvisioner.prepareWorkspace(AbstractBuild, FilePath, TaskListener), perform the necessary deletion operation, and return true.

If the workspace isn't the one created by this FileSystemProvisioner, or if the workspace can be simply deleted by FilePath.deleteRecursive(), then simply return false to give other FileSystemProvisionerDescriptors a chance to discard them.

Parameters:

ws - The workspace directory to be removed.

listener - The status of the operation, error message, etc., should go here.

Returns:

true if this FileSystemProvisionerDescriptor is responsible for de-alocating the workspace. false otherwise, in which case the other FileSystemProvisionerDescriptors are asked to clean up the workspace.

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException
