Unable to log from within class definitions

[Gregory Paciga]

I've set up some template utilities for jobs as described here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/Real-World-Examples#import-other-files-ie-with-class-definitions-into-your-script

so all my actually job definitions look like:

import templates.TempletizedJob

new TempletizedJob(pipelineJob('myjob'), args)

I would like the TempletizedJob class to be able to log details of what is being configured, with the end goal being that I can use the log of the Job DSL seed job to answer questions like "how many jobs used feature X of TempletizedJob". (where "feature X" isn't something that can't just be easily grepped from the JobDSL definitions themselves).

Naively, I would just use "println" in the TemplatizedJob class, but this results in an error:

ERROR: Scripts not permitted to use staticMethod org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.DefaultGroovyMethods println java.lang.Object java.lang.Object

I've also tried just instantiating a logger directly in the template class per https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/Job-DSL-Commands#logging, 

but that also throws security exceptions:

org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.sandbox.RejectedAccessException: Scripts not permitted to use staticMethod java.util.logging.Logger getLogger java.lang.String

Even if I pass `out` as an argument in my constructor from the job dsl script, I get:

ERROR: Scripts not permitted to use method java.io.PrintStream println java.lang.String

Is there any supported way of logging from utility classes that are imported into Job DSL scripts?

To consume any scripting functionality inside your class, you should have a reference to it. You can pass the `this` from your main DSL script where you are calling your class to your constructor and then internally you will be calling script methods using that ref variable.

Passing "this" results in the same error:

ERROR: Scripts not permitted to use method groovy.lang.Script println java.lang.Object
