Jenkins 更新后出现错误：java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No such DSL method 'pipeline' found between steps

Question

My Jenkins pipeline is failing after I updated by Jenkins version from 2.224 to 2.234 along with all the plugins to the latest version.

Below is my pipeline script which was working fine with older Jenkins and older plugins.

With Jenkins and plugin update, the pipeline is failing.

    pipeline { 
        agent none    
        stages {
             stage ("Check Parameters") { 
                   steps {
                       echo "In pipeline"
                          script {
                            echo "Start condition check"
                          }
                    }
                }
            }
    }

The above is just a sample as the actual pipeline script is quite vast and I did not wish to confuse the readers.

I get the following Error when i run the pipeline

    [Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
    [Pipeline] End of Pipeline

The current updated latest versions of pipeline plugin showing under Installed tab of Plugin Manager is below: The one thing that I see missing that was visible earlier under installed plugins is Pipeline: version 2.6

Upon my research I downloaded https://plugins.jenkins.io/workflow-aggregator/ hpi file, however, when i install this plugin in offline mode it tried to pull dependencies like Pipeline Milestone Step etc.

Is getting this hpi file and its dependencies installed the solution to my problem? Please clarify.

I do not have internet connectivity and I have to copy the plugins manually.

I do see the downgrade button next to a few plugins. However, do not wish to downgrade due to vulnerability and bug fixes.

Can you please suggest some solution, please?

Answer 1

The issue was pipeline plugin was not installed. Thus I downloaded the pipeline plugin version 2.6

https://plugins.jenkins.io/workflow-aggregator/

I then downloaded the dependencies as below:

https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-build-step/
https://updates.jenkins.io/download/plugins/pipeline-milestone-step/
https://plugins.jenkins.io/pipeline-model-definition/
https://plugins.jenkins.io/pipeline-model-declarative-agent/
https://plugins.jenkins.io/pipeline-stage-tags-metadata/ 

Installed them one by one in offline mode and the issue was resolved.

Answer 2

In my case the Ansible plugin was installed, but there were some security issues which was causing the issue. I updated the Ansible plugin, restarted the Jenkins, executed the pipeline job and it worked.

If you have plugin installed, please check in Manage Jenkins section that is there any security warning which needs resolution.

You need to check is Ansible enabled.

• Navigate to Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins -> Installed and check " Ansible Plugin " is enabled .
• If it's not, then enable it and press the restart button at the bottom.

Last step is to Configure Ansible

• Go to Manage Jenkins -> Global tool configuration
• Scroll down and go to Ansible section and click " Ansible installations... "
• In Name field, set any name you want
• In Path to Ansible executables directory set "/usr/bin/" (For Ubuntu)

To get the path of Ansible installation use $ which ansible in terminal
