Hi David, I think that could be related to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-50736, because there is a pipeline basic step called 'writeFile' (see https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/workflow-basic-steps/#writefile-write-file-to-workspace), but maybe Jesse Glick or Andrew Bayer can shed some more light on this issue...

I'm working on a set of builds using scripted pipelines. Our Jenkinsfiles are very short, all of the build logic is in the shared library. In the "main" shared library function, I'm trying to call another function defined in another "vars" class. We have many of these already. In this called function, I have a call to the "writeFile" pipeline step to create a temporary file used by a shell script called immediately after that. This is the only place anywhere in our builds that we call "writeFile". When I run the build, I get this very unhelpful message: Jenkins Job Failed due to Exception : org.codehaus.groovy.control.ErrorCollector There is literally no other information provided, except for the log lines that come before it. I found that an echo statement that is called before this suspect function is called is emitted in the log. An echo statement as the first line of the "call()" method of the function being called is NOT emitted in the log. Somehow the act of calling the function makes it die, with no explanation. So, I tried a workaround. In the calling script file, I added a "def" at the end of the file, to define an "inline function" with almost the same name as the "vars" function name. I copied the entire body of the "call()" method of the vars function into that inline function. I replaced the call to the vars function with the call to the inline function. It worked on the first try. Any ideas what might cause this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
