[JENKINS-1394] Absolute path for Ant Build File does not work any more

[jenkins-infra-bot]

Since 1.187
It worked for 1.186

If I specify this for the Ant Build File in a projects configuration, it wont
work any more:
D:\Releng\build-hudson.xml
It ends up in a file not found. Looking at what it would be calling, I can see
something like this:
D:\hudson\jobs\myjob\workspace\co\D:\Releng\build-hudson.xml
How can I prevent the prefix into the jobs workspace?

  Should be fixed in 1.192.
  
  This was a broader problem, not just in Ant. The fact that the absolute path
  worked there until 1.187 was just a coincidence.

  I have the same Problem in Jenkins 1.427.
  
  I generated an ANT File which shoud copy a generated WAR-File to an absolute path. 
  
  I worke on a Windows XP and the absolte path is an mounted folder on a openSuse Linux System. On the windows console is it possible to use the Folder like Y:\>. Also in Explorer.
  
  I tested the ANT Script without JENKINS and it works fine. I also tested to use a windows batch-file instead the ANT file which works fine if the execute call is not from Jenkins. If I start my Job in Jenkins i got the Error:
  
  "The system cannot find the drive specified. Build step 'Execute Windows bacth command' marked build as failure"

  pafu Your issue is probably that mounted shares are not shared among users. Jenkins is most likely running as a service account, which doesn't have access to the mounted directories of the user you tried running as.
