[TIP] Jenkins CI downloads thousands of clones from my Bitbucket repo :-(

[James Chapman]

This question will likely be better posed to the Jenkins user mailing list.

Sounds like something is triggering your job and with each build it's
likely downloading the sdist file.

As for the path query, depending on the build step type, you can use a
/ which clever plugins will interpret as \\ on windows, or create a
dir separator environment variable that you configure under each
client and then use that environment variable in your build steps.



Otherwise you could do something like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------
import platform

if platform.system() == 'Windows':
    DIRSEP = "\\"
else:
    DIRSEP = "/"

fileToOpen = "folder1" + DIRSEP + "folder2" + DIRSEP + "file.txt"
f = open(fileToOpen, "r")
f.read()
f.close()
----------------------------------------------------------------
