Generated Gitlab Push Trigger doesn't work unless saved through UI

[ZT]

Hello,

I am configuring the Gitlab Push Trigger  using the automatically generated DSL, the DSL seems to generate the configuration XML file , but the webhook from Gitlab does not fire the job. It fails with an HTTP 500 error 

When i open the job configuration to edit, make no changes, and save it again through the UI..retry the hook ..it works...

Here is my DSL

gitLabPushTrigger {
    triggerOnPush(true)
    triggerOnMergeRequest(false)
    triggerOpenMergeRequestOnPush('never')
    triggerOnNoteRequest(false)
    noteRegex('')
    skipWorkInProgressMergeRequest(true)
    ciSkip(false)
    setBuildDescription(true)
    addNoteOnMergeRequest(false)
    addCiMessage(false)
    addVoteOnMergeRequest(false)
    acceptMergeRequestOnSuccess(false)
    branchFilterType('NameBasedFilter')
    includeBranchesSpec(repoBranchName)
    excludeBranchesSpec('')
    targetBranchRegex('')
    mergeRequestLabelFilterConfig {
        include('')
        exclude('')
    }
    secretToken(HashGenerator.generate(jobName))
}

I began to compare the XML snippets (of the trigger section), generated by Job DSL and after having saved it through the UI

The latter configuration works, the former doesn't . I do see that in the delta of the XML's, the "vector" class is removed by Jenkins on Save.

Not sure which if that is making a difference, but i am wondering if anyone has seen a similar problem before where generated DSL doesn't work but saving the configuration through UI without making changes begins to make it work.

Job DSL Version: 1.53

Jenkins Version: 2.0

Any pointers to proceed will be highly appreciated

Never mind, i was missing the Gitlab Connection Property through the DSL

Apparently, when i save it through the UI - it gets added to the XML automatically when there is only one connection.

Do you have an example of how and where this property should be added?
