If you are trying to read a file from the workspace during a pipeline build step, there's a method for that:

readFile('name-of-file.groovy')

For reference, see https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/workflow-basic-steps/#readfile-read-file-from-workspace.

If you already have the Groovy  Postbuild  plugin installed  I think it s a valid desire to get this done with  generic  Groovy instead of installing a  specialized  plugin   That said  you can get the workspace using manager build workspace getRemote    Don t forget to add File separator between path and file name

Based on your comments  you would be better off with Text-finder plugin   It allows to search file s   as well as console  for a regular expression and then set the build either unstable or failed if found   As for the Groovy  you can use the following to access   WORKSPACE  environment variable  def workspace   manager build getEnvVars    WORKSPACE

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

Although this question is only related to finding directory path   WORKSPACE  however I had a requirement to read the file from workspace and parse it into JSON object to read sonar issues   ignore minor notes issues     Might help someone  this is how I did it- from readFile   jsonParse readFile  xyz json       and jsonParse method-   NonCPS def jsonParse text            return new groovy json JsonSlurperClassic   parseText text       This will also require script approval in ManageJenkins-  In-process script approval
