[Shared Library] Unable to run a batch commmand from a shared library

Using Jenkins
1

Hi

I’m in the process of moving common code from my jenkinsfile into a shared library.
Everything went well until I tried to move code that uses ‘bat’ steps.
I understand you are not supposed to call Jenkins steps from shared libraries (doable if you insist well), so I tried using the ProcessBuilder class to run cmd.
But whatever I do, I always end up with a ‘No such file or directory’. Such as ‘Cannot run program “C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe”: error=2, No such file or directory’ (and yes, the function is called in a windows agent)

Am I doing the right thing here ?
Is Jenkins preventing me from accessing programs on the node on purpose ?

Thanks

Process builder, being a native java class doesn’t know anything about controller to agent
Would recommend you use the pipeline bat step

Thanks for the answer

Jenkins steps are not available by default.
Does it mean I need to add the script object to my function signature so I can call script.steps. functions ?
