Reading file from Workspace in Jenkins with Groovy script

by

I realize this question was about creating a plugin, but since the new Jenkins 2 Pipeline builds use Groovy, I found myself here while trying to figure out how to read a file from a workspace in a Pipeline build. So maybe I can help someone like me out in the future.

Turns out it’s very easy, there is a readfile step, and I should have rtfm:

env.WORKSPACE = pwd()
def version = readFile "${env.WORKSPACE}/version.txt"
