Hi Community,

using Jenkins 2.401.2

I have recently created a new node, and I have noticed that on this node the file workspace/workspaces.txt is not created on this one, but it exists on the others.

do you know why there is such a difference of behaviour between nodes ?  
Is this configurable somewhere ?

thanks in advance.

I’m not aware that Jenkins creates a file workspace/workspaces.txt. I don’t have it on any of my agents  
It is either a plugin or a job that is creating this, but not a core functionality

After some investigations, it seems that it is created when a multibranch pipeleine is run.
