Gradle project fails to run with Jenkins v2.277.1

[njtman]

The gradle project was running just fine when defining jenkinsVersion=2.263.4 in the gradle.properties file. When bumping the version to jenkinsVersion=2.277.1 the project fails to run and the following error is logged to the console.

It seems to be related to XStream. The 2.277.1 Jenkins release notes explicitly mention that breaking XStream changes are included in this release.

Just ran into this yesterday. I'm not super familiar with java systems (including gradle) but I did my best to dig into it regardless. The chain of events:

• Change gradle.properties to have jenkinsVersion=2.283 (could be 2.277.1, probably doesn't matter)
• This resulted in the error in the initial report (although my stack trace didn't match exactly, I believe the error was the same)
• Tracked it down to job-dsl-core per a relevant message to "Jenkins Developers" google group: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg36543.html
• Removed compile "org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-dsl-core:${jobDslVersion}" line from build.gradle
• This caused src/main/groovy/com/dslexample/builder/GradleCiJobBuilder.groovy (as could be expected when removing a dependency)
• Deleted that GradleCiJobBuilder.groovy file
• This caused errors in src/test/groovy/com/dslexample/builder/GradleCiJobBuilderSpec.groovy
• Deleted that test file, too
• That caused failures on src/jobs/example7Jobs.groovy
• Deleted that example jobs file
• It runs without error 🎉

Obviously this isn't much of a fix given the amount of deletions involved. But it points to the fact that job-dsl-core seems to reference the forked version of xstream: https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/blob/b3bd3488f6c7389be8df0c7e473d0144c364a6ad/build.gradle#L79-L82. So this may simply be reliant on the other module to update.

However I'm not really able to reconcile that conclusion with the fact that empirically I've got a jenkins instance running on version 2.283 w/ Job [email protected] without issue.

As before, take this all with a grain of salt. My familiarity with all these systems is very limited.

Cool, thanks for the additional investigation. I'm using a forked version of this repo. Performing the first mitigation step fixed the project compilation for me.

• Removed compile "org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-dsl-core:${jobDslVersion}" line from build.gradle

After making this change, I verified that the xml files are still being generated as expected. I also confirmed that providing invalid job dsl breaks compilation.

[robbinvandamme]

Instead of removing job-dsl-core i've exclude xstream

+    compile("org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-dsl-core:${jobDslVersion}")
+    {
+        exclude module:'xstream'
+    }

Hi,

When I change to Jenkins version 2.375.3, it's not work.
Could someone can help, please?
