if you want just access the log and download it as a txt file to your workspace from the job's URL:
${BUILD_URL}/consoleText
On Linux, you can use wget to download it to your workspace
wget ${BUILD_URL}/consoleText
The actual log file on the file system is in the Master machine. You can find it under:
$JENKINS_HOME/jobs/$JOB_NAME/builds/lastSuccessfulBuild/log

Thanks for this. I had to open a full console output via browser, but it was very big, my browser cannot handle it. You can change the last part of the URL from
consoleFulltoconsoleTextas noted above. While the browser is loading it, you can hitCTRL+Sto save it as a txt file and open it in notepad++. Or as noted above, use wget or curl which should be available if you have git for windows installed (for windows users).– thirdyCommented Sep 12, 2019 at 1:29
For Windows you could use curl in a powershell prompt:
curl ${BUILD_URL}\consoleText -OutFile C:\SomeLocation\SomeFile.txt
For MacOS:
curl ${BUILD_URL}/consoleText -o /SomeLocation/SomeFile.txt
To get the Jenkins console log without curl or wget:
writeFile file: "jenkins_console_output.txt", text: currentBuild.rawBuild.logFile.text
sh 'sed -ri "s/\\x1b\\[8m.*?\\x1b\\[0m//g" jenkins_console_output.txt'
Explanation:
currentBuild.rawBuild.logFile.textwill return annotated log.\x1b\[8m.*?\x1b\[0mis a regex expression to match AnsiColorersed -riuse regexp-extended and in-place to update the file
