Odd issue resolving packages with newer version of Jenkins+Java+Groovy

[Adam Daughterson]

Hello group.

I have an issue where a new install of Jenkins using latest-greatist java will not resolve any packages I try to import.

I have installed the Build Flow extensions in the same way on both working and non-working systems.

For instance, in a build-flow:

def http = extension.'build-flow-http-extension'

This returns the following stack trace:

ERROR: Failed to run DSL Script

Similarly, trying to import HTTPBuilder results in similar FUD:

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

...results in this:

FATAL: startup failed:

   import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

I have a Jenkins master at 1.608 using the same JRE which does all this stuff perfectly well, so I'm totally stumped on why it isn't working on the new installs.

Can anyone offer some advice on what I may be missing?  It seems like a Java problem, like it isn't searching the classpath, but I'm not sure how to change that.

I've Googled this kind of thing, and the @Grab annotation does not seem to do the trick, nor does manually attempting to install from the command line with grape.

Thanks in advance.

The extension you mention is provided by https://github.com/jniesen/build-flow-http-extension and not the Build Flow Extensions Plugin.

That appears to be the key here.  Looks like loading the correct hpi brought in HTTPBuilder, which is now importable.

Thanks for the help!
