Junit test : seed job to maven Job DSL

[Charles Moulliard]

Hi

I created a Junit test case which is available here:  https://github.com/ch007m/jenkins-job-dsl/blob/31efa049a95c333a8dba9b01ff2aa281b3520e34/src/test/java/dev/snowdrop/MavenJobDSLTest.java#L25-L53 where a seed job is created to populate a mavenJob using the DSL groovy file provided 

But when it is executed; the job build fails and reports this error

Legacy code started this job.  No cause information is available

Running as SYSTEM

Building in workspace /var/folders/t2/jwchtqkn5y76hrfrws7dqtqm0000gn/T/j h5344303144116520886/workspace/test0

Processing provided DSL script

ERROR: java.io.IOException: Unable to read /var/folders/t2/jwchtqkn5y76hrfrws7dqtqm0000gn/T/j h5344303144116520886/jobs/mvn-spring-boot-rest-http/config.xml

Finished: FAILURE

The error comes from the fact that the job "mvn-spring-boot-rest-http" has not been created under the "jobs" folder. the jobs folder only contains a "test0" folder.

How can I investigate the problem and fix that ? 

If I check the config.xml file generated, it looks good (vs same config.xml file created using the UI)

FYI: I can, of course, create the job and build it using the `config.xml` generated on a jenkins instance running locally -> `java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 create-job maven-seed-job2 < seed-maven-job2.xml`

So I suspect a problem with the Job DSL Plugin when the job build is scheduled with the "ExecuteDslScripts". But If no stacktrace is reported, then it will very hard to figure out the issue
