Jenkins / JENKINS-42807 Shared-Library Import without def causes MultipleCompilationErrorsException Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Matthew DeTullio Attachments: JenkinsStacktrace.txt Components: multi-branch-project-plugin, pipeline Created: 2017/Mar/15 2:47 PM Environment: Jenkins 2.32.3 Priority: Minor Reporter: Dominic S. I've just spend several hours, trying to find out why my multi-branch-pipeline project was failing until I found this problem using trial and error. I have a multi-branch-pipeline with a shared library. That shared library is already in use with other projects and works fine. After copy & pasting some code to a new Jenkinsfile I was wondering why it did not work. Faulty Jenkinsfile: @Library('shared-lib@master') testing.sayHello('World')   This causes the build to fail with: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: WorkflowScript: 3: unexpected token: testing @ line 3, column 1. testing.sayHello('World') ^   When I edit my Jenkinsfile to: @Library('shared-lib@master') def anything = 'nothing' testing.sayHello('World')     it executes without any error.

Re: Shared-Library Import without def causes MultipleCompilationErrorsException It doesn't matter what comes after @Library() - you could also use echo 'Hello World' instead of testing.sayHello('World')

Andrew Bayer resolved as Not A Defect

So you need to follow @Library('shared-lib@master') with _ - yes, an underscore. It's annoying, but the annotation needs to be on something, and a method call doesn't count. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Re: Shared-Library Import without def causes MultipleCompilationErrorsException Andrew Bayer this is not clear. Could you elaborate more on this? What d do you mean by following with underscore?

Re: Shared-Library Import without def causes MultipleCompilationErrorsException

Hrishikesh Shinde, https://jenkins.io/blog/2017/06/27/speaker-blog-SAS-jenkins-world/ After configuring Jenkins so that it can find the shared library repository, we can load the shared library into our pipeline using the @Library('<library name>') annotation. Since Annotations are designed to annotate something that follows them, we need to either include a specific import statement, or, if we want to include everything, we can use an underscore character as a placeholder. So our basic step to load the library in a pipeline would be: @Library('Utilities2') _
