Load YAML from file in Jenkins Pipeline

I have the following structure:

/Jenkinsfile/script2.groovy
/Jenkinsfile/pipeline2.yaml
script1.groovy
pipeline1.yaml

There's a reference in script1 to the pipeline using:

yamlFile "pipeline1.yml"

or 

yamlFile "./Jenkinsfiles/pipeline2.yaml"

And works fine. I'm trying to use the same pipeline file on script2 but can't make it work.

Here's the relevant part of the script:

pipeline {
    agent {
        kubernetes {
            cloud "xxxx"
            yamlFile "pipeline.yml"
        }
    }

Any idea?

Note: pipeline1 and pieline2 are the same files just showing different locations.

Given the directory structure you mentioned:

.
├── Jenkinsfile
│   ├── pipeline2.yaml
│   └── script2.groovy
├── pipeline1.yaml
└── script1.groovy

The following files can be read from within their parent directory as follows:

For script1 ran from ./

  • groovy ./script1.groovy is able to read both ./pipeline1.yaml and ./Jenkinsfile/pipeline2.yaml

For Script2 ran from ./

  • groovy ./Jenkinsfile/script2.groovy is able to read ./pipeline1.yaml, since its in the same directory the file ./Jenkinsfile/script2.groovy is being run from i.e. ./

  • groovy ./Jenkinsfile/script2.groovy is able to read ./Jenkinfile/pipeline2.yaml also because the path is relative.

I think you could possibly simplify this by just having the files reside in one directory. And also using the syntax readYaml(file: './nameOfFile.yaml') readyaml section.

.
├── pipeline1.yaml
├── script1.groovy
├── pipeline2.yaml
└── script2.groovy
