Seems like external classes load into DSL scripts doesn't work.

[Taras Fog]

Hi guys,

As described here it doesn't work for me at all:

https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/Real-World-Examples#import-other-files-ie-with-class-definitions-into-your-script

It says:

Processing DSL script TEST_JOB_CLASSES_USAGE.groovy
ERROR: startup failed:
workspace:/jobs/TST/TEST_JOB_CLASSES_USAGE.groovy: 4: unable to resolve class helpers.JobHelper
 @ line 4, column 1.
   import helpers.JobHelper;
   ^

My class is in /jobs/helpers/JobHelper.groovy

And is called as follow:

import helpers.JobHelper;

Any thougts why it still doesn't see this class?

Can anyone please assist in resolution of this issue?

Hi Taras,

Can you please confirm if you set 'the Additional classpath' option in the Process Job DSLs build step pointing to the location of your class? Something like like 'jobs/**/*.groovy' should work

Cheers

Hello Victor,

Thank you for your reply.

I have just tried to add an "additional class path" as you have mentioned. 

I tried "jobs/**/*.groovy", "jobs/helpers/*.groovy".

None of them doesn't work.

Issue is still the same:

workspace:/jobs/TST/TEST_JOB_CLASSES_USAGE.groovy: 4: unable to resolve class helpers.JobHelper
 @ line 4, column 1.
   import helpers.JobHelper;

Class is defined in /jobs/helpers/JobHelper.groovy script.

Here is how it is defined at the beginning:

package helpers

import javaposse.jobdsl.dsl.Job

/**
 * Created by tklym on 17.11.16.
 */

public class JobHelper {

And here how DSL script which call it starts:

 package TST

//loading class for IDEA development :
import helpers.JobHelper;

My bad, you need to try only with 'jobs'

Sorry about that

[Taras Fog]

Thank you, Victor.

It worked like a charm.

You have made my day! :)

And saved a lot of time.

Taras.
