permission denied while building project in jenkins . /tmp/jenkins7547483698503669612.sh: line 2: /root/hello.sh: Permission denied

Question

I am facing an issue when I am trying to run the Jenkins job. I have tried to change the permission of the script, but it seems the error persisted.

chmod -R 777 file_name.sh

Answer 1

@Vivek Joshi I guess the problem is ownership of hello.sh is 'root' user and your jenkins job runs with 'jenkins' user. (Installing and running jenkins with root user is not recommended)

You can try something below

1. Change ownership of hello.sh file to jenkins user

chown jenkins:jenkins hello.sh

2. Move hello.sh file to jenkins workspace directory and try to run job again

mv <path to directory where hello.sh is present> <jenkins workspace directory>

Eg : mv /home/user/hello.sh /jenkins/workspace/
