[JIRA] (JENKINS-41476) Jenkinsfile fails with BOM

Issue Type:	Bug
Assignee:	Unassigned
Components:	pipeline
Created:	2017/Jan/26 12:20 PM
Environment:	Tested with a fresh, default install of Jenkins 2.42
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	larsskj

A Multibranch Pipeline fails reading a Jenkinsfile if the file is encoded in UTF-8 and includes a BOM (Byte order mark).

The error depends on the content of the file, but often shows as a variant of 'No such DSL method XX found'.

If the BOM is removed, the file works fine.

Can you attach a Jenkinsfile that's failing for you?

I could reproduce this with a simple Jenkinsfile that just contains "echo 'Hello-World!'".
See attached file Jenkinsfile.

Steps to reproduce

Add the attached Jenkinsfile to a GIT repo.
Create a Pipeline Job.
Set Definition to "Pipeline script from SCM".
Set "SCM "to "Git", configure the repository and point "Script Path" to the Jenkinsfile.

If the file has a UTF-8-BOM, the Job fails with

 
                                                                java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No such DSL method '﻿echo' found among steps [archive, bat, ... zip] or globals [currentBuild, docker, env, params, pipeline, scm]

Remove the BOM, check in, push and the job will run as expected.

I increased priority for this issue because it now has a wider scope: any pipeline job can be affected, and the cause can be hard to find.

As an example, the job might also fail with

 
                                                                groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: ﻿ for class: groovy.lang.Binding
