I have a Jenkins job which runs on a slave node on another machine, both master and slave run on windows. The slave node is being run as a windows service. I am unable to read a json file from workspace in the slave node and parse it. The JSON file structure is like given below. I need to read the EmailProperties object and modify each of the properties and save the json file again. I have tried multiple suggestions on readFile() & readJSON(), but none of them is working. Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

  },

    }
}
