Re: Document limitations of language coverage

Here's another time-waster that I stumbled into the hard way: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-26313 Limitations are fine. Undocumented limitations are a huge time-suck. Please aggregate a list of such issues somewhere so people have a realistic chance of being able to write working Jenkinsfile scripts without having to hunt around on the bug tracker for explanations of weird behaviour .

Re: Document limitations of language coverage

Writing up complete documentation is work like anything else, and everyone qualified to do it is overloaded. You can leave a vote on this issue like any other. Complaining about software you are using for free does not move anything forward.

Re: Document limitations of language coverage

Even better: where it is possible to do so simply (such as for inheritance) can we please have a nice readable error message instead of an incomprehensible one? I'm not sure about inheritance specifically, but JENKINS-31314 should improve error messages for some of these cases, and the error messages will link to https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Pipeline+CPS+method+mismatches which has relevant documentation for common issues.
