Execute python file existing inside image with Jenkins

Question

I have an Image A, which has a python file "main.py". I want to know how I can use Jenkins to run that file from a different pipeline. I want to use Jenkins to go inside that image and then run that file which is inside Image A.

I tried using .withRun but I don't think I'm doing this right.

docker.image(ImageA).withRun() {
    sh "main.py ${parameters to pass}"
}

When I run it like this, it executes the local main.py that I have and executes that inside the container which isn't what I want. I want to execute the main.py that is already inside the container and pass in parameters.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I actually figured out the solution. In the ImageA pipeline, I added the 'main.py' to the artifacts and then in ImageA, I cloned 'main.py' and executed it.

ImageA:

always {
        archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'main.py', onlyIfSuccessful: true
    }

Current pipeline:

sh "curl {url to imageA artifact}/main.py -o main.py"
docker.image(ImageA).inside {

    sh "python main.py "

}
