Adding files before zipping (pipeline utility plugin Jenkins)

[Faad Sayaou]

Hello,
I currently have a pipeline which zips results of a build stage. I have a
README.md file which i will like to add in my zip file when uploading to
nexus. The file is included during checkout. how do I add this during the
zip stage? I tried the approach below but it doesn't add the readme file in
my final output folder

*zip dir: 'directroy/to/my/folder', glob:'', zipFile: 'folder.zip' +
'path/to/my/readmeFile/README.md'*


Can someone tell me the correct way of doing this?
Thanks

Have you tried copying the *README.md* into *directory/to/my/folder* before
calling *zip*?

hi, so here is the thing. I am currently zipping two projects
*zip dir: 'directroy/to/my/folder1', glob:'', zipFile: 'folder1.zip' *
*zip dir: 'directroy/to/my/folder2', glob:'', zipFile: 'folder2.zip' +
'folder2.zip' + **'path/to/my/readmeFile/README.md'*

zipping two folders works fine as expected. I do not want the readme file
to be inside folder1 nor in folder2. I want a situation where if we
download the zip file,
we should be able to see folder1.zip, folder2.zip and the readme.md file.
