James Femia edited a comment on JENKINS-39174   Re: Help text for projectName does not describe all permitted values It is also important to note that if the Multibranch Pipeline is searching in branch folders with forward slashes in the sub-job names (or any other url-encodable char), it generates sub-jobs with encoded names. Copying the artifacts from these projects require you to specify the folder path, followed by the *url-encoded* name of the job. This is logical in terms of being able to resolve Folders containing jobs in Jenkins, but may trip you up when writing groovy. e.g. if I have a Multibranch project called "MyBranches", with base of {{https://my.repo}}, and I tell it to search for branches in {{/branches/jamie/*}} and it finds {{/branches/jamie/a}} and {{/branches/jamie/b}}, copying artifacts from these jobs requires me to use {{/MyBranches/branches%2Fjamie%2Fa}}. As a side node on that, unless I am using {{java.net.URLEncoder}} wrong, I have to replace the output of encode {{+}} with {{%20}} in order for the string to match the job name if it has spaces in the url path . {noformat} def job_name = '/MyBranches/' + java.net.URLEncoder.encode('branches/jamie/ a spaces in path ', 'UTF-8').replace('+', '%20') {noformat} I also did not know that the *Pipeline Syntax* link from different pages affected the behaviour of the snippet generator.
