Jenkins Infinite Loop w/ Powershell evoked from Groovy

[Joe Cavanaugh]

Set up :

1) Create a Pipeline script in a groovy file such as in the blog post https://jenkins.io/blog/2017/10/02/pipeline-templates-with-shared-libraries/ . I called mine dotNetApiPipeline.groovy and saved it to /vars.

def call(body) {
     // evaluate the body block, and collect configuration into the object
     def pipelineParams = [:]
     body.resolveStrategy = Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST
     body.delegate = pipelineParams
     body() 

     pipeline {

         agent {

             node {

                 label 'master'

             }

         } 

         stages {

             stage('Powershell Test') {

                 steps {

                     powershell 'Write-Output "Hello World"'

                     powershell 'Write-Output "$env:COMPONENTVERSION"' 

                 }

             }

         }

 

      }

}

2) Invoke the script via your pipeline job. 

@Library("Jenkins_Library@powershellTest") _

dotNetApiPipeline {

    COMPONENTVERSION = "0.0.0"

}

 

Weirdly enough it just stuck in an infinite loop on the first powershell call. I noticed in the example they are using only shell scripts and I am making a test for bat files as well. I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue with attempting to make pipeline libraries. 

Thanks,

Joe

Forgot to mention - the version of Jenkins is 2.98 with all the latest and greatest plugin versions (I just updated yesterday 12/28/2017). It is a windows master build machine running powershell 3.0 and I haven't tested on a powershell 5.1 machine yet.

I can now confirm the standard bat 'echo Hello World' works fine - it is just the powershell keyword that is an issue.

Anyone else encountering this issue?
