Not able to url encode password parameter for credentialed git tagging

[Daniel Collette]

Using multibranch pipeline plugin and credentials binding plugin and using this method to git tag, it is failing due to a character that requires url encoding in the password. 

To push to a git repo, it's required to URL encode (for example @'s in the username and password for "http://username:password@<gitrepo>" are not read properly)

When i import java.net.URLEncoder and URLEncoder.encode(password) in the groovy file i get this:

org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.sandbox.RejectedAccessException: Scripts not permitted to use staticMethod java.net.URLEncoder encode java.lang.String

So, the question is, is there a way to URL encode the password that is idiomatic for Jenkinsfiles?

I would like to avoid something dirty like piping the parameter into bash and sed-ing the password to replace special characters if there is a cleaner and more readable solution.

The simplest solution is to approve that method for use in your Jenkins.  Then you can use the URLEncoder class in Jenkinsfile on that instance.

Wow that was really simple. I never noticed that before. 

For anyone as ignorant as me:

in Jenkins web ui

Manage Jenkins >

In-process Script Approval >

Approve the signature

It worked great. 

The only issue is that now, instead of the credentials displaying as ***, it is url encoded in plain text in the logs. 

Thanks for the quick reply and simple solution.
