permission denied when executing the jenkins sh pipeline step - jenkins

Question

I have some trouble with this situation:
everytime I create a new pipeline job ( entitled "pipeline"), the sh step won't work even with simple command like ls or pwd and it returns this log:
sh: 1: /var/jenkins_home/workspace/pipeline#tmp/durable-34c21b81/script.sh: Permission denied
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I was getting a similar permissions denied error after following the Jenkins pipeline tutorial for a node project.
./jenkins/test.sh: Permission denied
The original pipeline Test stage looked like the following and returned that error.
stage('Test') {
steps {
sh './jenkins/test.sh'
}
}
I found the following post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61956744/9109504 and modified the Test stage to the following
stage('Test') {
steps {
sh "chmod +x -R ${env.WORKSPACE}"
sh './jenkins/test.sh'
}
}
That change fixed the permissions denied error.

I guess you use
stage(name){
sh ./runSomething
}
Jenkins always uses to user jenkins for running scripts. There are some possibilities:
Jenkins is running with a different user, maybe you start it with some other user.
Something went running when installing jenkins, check that you have a jenkins user

Answer 3

From the terminal you should give permission to this file
sudo chmod -R 777 ./test.sh
and when you push this file it will go with this permissions under the hood, and this way Jenkins will execute this file.

We just need to add "sudo" before the path. I have tested It. It workes perfectly.
stages {
stage('Hello') {
steps {
sh 'sudo /root/test.sh'
}
}
}
