Pipeline Global Library vars file naming convention

[Sverre Moe]

This naming does not work:

vars/packageInformation.groovy

I get the following exception when calling a function packageInformation.init()

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method init() on null object

This works

vars/packageinformation.groovy

According to the instructions/tutorial on GitHub the files should be camelCased.

The vars directory hosts scripts that define global variables accessible from Pipeline scripts. The basename of each*.groovy file should be a Groovy (~ Java) identifier, conventionally camelCased.

Well if it is a bug. I was not entirely sure as I have just begun using Pipeline.

I will create a bug report of this problem.

On our environment, the vars is camelCase without any problems. But we are using is as block :

for example :

JaliosPlugin{

mailrecipients : ludovic...@jalios.com

}

Others elements are designed as classes and in our case are used with new operator , like :

new com.jalios.build.MailNotifier().send(config.mailRecipients)

Perhaps to use a function, you need to have class which can be instanciated and vars in only pipeline steps ?
