Re: Unable to create folder credentials for plain-credentials-plugin

I was able to work around this bug using the configure option for string creds.

 
                                                                properties {
  folderCredentialsProperty {
    domainCredentials {
       domainCredentials {
        domain {
          name('')
          description('')
        }
      }
    }   
  }
}
configure { folder ->
     def configNode = folder / 'properties' /  'com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.properties.FolderCredentialsProvider_-FolderCredentialsProperty' /  'domainCredentialsMap' / 'entry' / 'java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList'
   configNode << 'org.jenkinsci.plugins.plaincredentials.impl.StringCredentialsImpl'(plugin: 'plain-credentials@1.5') {
     id('secret-id')
     description('secret desc')
     secret(hudson.util.Secret.fromString('secret').getEncryptedValue())
   }
}
 
                                                            

Unfortunately, I still cannot get file creds to work properly. It requires using com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SecretBytes, but attempting to do so gives all sorts of bizarre errors, like unable to resolve class com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SecretBytes or No such property: cloudbees for class: java.lang.String.

Re: Unable to create folder credentials for plain-credentials-plugin

Jesse Rittner - perhaps this will help. Your original example helped me get much further; I couldn't have figured out the secret file stuff without your example.

properties {
  folderCredentialsProperty {
    domainCredentials {
       domainCredentials {
        domain {
          name('')
          description('')
        }
      }
    }   
  }
}
configure { folder ->
     def configNode = folder / 'properties' /  'com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.properties.FolderCredentialsProvider_-FolderCredentialsProperty' /  'domainCredentialsMap' / 'entry' / 'java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList'

  configNode << 'org.jenkinsci.plugins.plaincredentials.impl.FileCredentialsImpl' {
    id('secret-file-id')
    description('secret file desc')
    fileName('test.txt')
    secretBytes(com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SecretBytes.fromBytes('''This is a multiline file
Line two
finaly line'''.getBytes()).toString())
  }
}
 
                                                            

This example won't work with a binary file. If that was necessary, you could generate a BASE64 encode of the binary file, put that in place of the string and do a decodeBase64() on it to get the bytes.

[~rittneje] - perhaps this will help. Your original example helped me get much further; I couldn't have figured out the secret file stuff without your example.
{code:java}

properties {
  folderCredentialsProperty {
    domainCredentials {
       domainCredentials {
        domain {
          name('')
          description('')
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
configure { folder ->
def configNode = folder / 'properties' / 'com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.properties.FolderCredentialsProvider_-FolderCredentialsProperty' / 'domainCredentialsMap' / 'entry' / 'java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList'
  configNode << 'org.jenkinsci.plugins.plaincredentials.impl.FileCredentialsImpl' {
    id('secret-file-id')
    description('secret file desc')
    fileName('test.txt')
    secretBytes(com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SecretBytes.fromBytes('''This is a multiline file
Line two

finaly final line'''.getBytes()).toString())
}
}
{code}

Re: Unable to create folder credentials for plain-credentials-plugin

Thanks, but unfortunately that still gives those weird error messages I posted.

Also, just FYI you should also set scope('GLOBAL') for your credentials. Otherwise, your config might be corrupted.

Re: Unable to create folder credentials for plain-credentials-plugin

Hello,
Daniel Spilker what makes plain-credentials-plugin incompatible with job-dsl-plugin ?

Re: Unable to create folder credentials for plain-credentials-plugin

Hi Daniel Spilker,

I have tried to find a solution for the issue. Please have a look here https://github.com/RiccardoBoettcher/plain-credentials-plugin/tree/JENKINS-59971

As I'm not experienced with the Jenkins plugin development yet, I don't know what is the best strategy to introduce a breaking change. May be some can assist me with that?

As visible in the screenshot, the change makes the basicStringCredential available in the JobDSL API browser.

But, this draft has still some missing parts:
* when creating new credentials via the WebUI it can not be distinguished from the existing implementation for "secret text"
* when selecting it as the type of a new credentials no properties are shown
