Jenkins / Bug JENKINS-57264
accessing file credential in pipeline causes nullPointerException
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: credentials-plugin, plain-credentials-plugin
Created: 2019-04-30 18:32
Environment: Ubuntu 18.04.2
Jenkins 2.175
Credentials Plugin 2.1.18
Plain Credentials Plugin 1.5
Priority: Major Major
Reporter: Mike Alberghini

After a plugin update, one of my pipelines stopped working.  It's a groovy script that kicks off packer, which uses ansible to configure an AWS system.  After a bit of pairing down, I determined that the pipeline was crashing at the withCredentials([file bit.  I stripped the code down to a simple pipeline that demonstrates the error. 

pipeline

Unknown macro: {   agent { label 'AWS-Pipeline-Executor' }

    stages { stage('Build') {
      steps {       
        withCredentials([file(credentialsId: 'ansible-vault', variable: 'VAULT_PASS_FILE')])

Unknown macro: {               echo "Inside creds loop"         }

  
      }   
    }   
  }  
}  

 

The only output is:

 
[Pipeline] Start of Pipeline[Pipeline] nodeRunning on AWS-Pipeline-Executor in /home/asdc-jenkins/jenkins/workspace/.DevOps/MikeTest[Pipeline] {[Pipeline] stage[Pipeline]

{ (Build)[Pipeline] }

[Pipeline] // stage[Pipeline] }[Pipeline] // node[Pipeline] End of Pipelinejava.lang.NullPointerException
Finished: FAILURE

Re: accessing file credential in pipeline causes nullPointerException

I had the same plugin versions and issue. I was able to fix by updating Structs plugin 1.18 -> 1.19

Re: accessing file credential in pipeline causes nullPointerException

Updating Structs to 1.19 seems to have fixed the problem.
