Jenkins-pipeline fail : No such DSL method 'androidLint' found among steps

Question

I get a failure for the stage 'Static analysis' during my jenkins-pipeline.

Here is my Jenkinsfile :

pipeline {
  agent any
  stages {
    stage('Compile') {
      steps {
        // Compile the app and its dependencies
        sh './gradlew compileDebugSources'
      }
    }
    stage('Unit test') {
      steps {
        // Compile and run the unit tests for the app and its dependencies
        sh './gradlew testDebugUnitTest testDebugUnitTest'

        // Analyse the test results and update the build result as appropriate
        junit '**/TEST-*.xml'
      }
    }
    stage('Build APK') {
      steps {
        // Finish building and packaging the APK
        sh './gradlew assembleDebug'

        // Archive the APKs so that they can be downloaded from Jenkins
        archiveArtifacts '**/*.apk'
      }
    }
    stage('Static analysis') {
      steps {
        // Run Lint and analyse the results
        sh './gradlew lintDebug'
        androidLint pattern: '**/lint-results-*.xml'
      }
    }
    stage('Deploy') {
      steps {
        // Build the app in release mode, and sign the APK using the environment variables
        sh './gradlew assembleRelease'

        // Archive the APKs so that they can be downloaded from Jenkins
        archiveArtifacts '**/*.apk'
      }
    }
  }
}

Here is the Console Output :

Finished: FAILURE

I am not sure why I get "No such DSL method 'androidLint' found among steps".

I thought it's a jenkins-plugin problem, since Android Lint Plugin seems deprecated, I can't access to the link : https://plugins.jenkins.io/android-lint/

I installed the plugin : Warnings Next Generation => https://plugins.jenkins.io/warnings-ng/ that seems to contain Android Lint Plugin, and yet, I still get the error : No such DSL method 'androidLint'...

Does someone have any idea why the stage('Static analysis') fail ? Is it a missing plugin ?

Thank you.

Answer 1

After investigation, it seems "androidLint" is not supported by "Warnings Next Generation Plugin", and has been replaced by "androidLintParser"

the correct step with Warning Next Generation plugin is :

stage('Static analysis') {
  steps {
    // Run Lint and analyse the results
    sh './gradlew lintDebug'
    androidLintParser pattern: '**/lint-results-*.xml'
  }
}
