jenkins-groovy

My Jenkins CI/CD build configuration was working and nothing changed until my last pull request and I need to get this working again. The Multibranch Pipeline is configured to run a jenkinsfile from BitBucket SCM but this is now failing with the following error; groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: pipeline for class: groovy.lang.Binding at groovy.lang.Binding.getVariable(Binding.java:63) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.sandbox.groovy.SandboxInterceptor.onMethodCall(SandboxInterceptor.java:130) Script Security Plugin is installed and the In-process Script Approval

When I run the below Jenkins pipeline script: def some_var = "some value" def pr() { def another_var = "another " + some_var echo "${another_var}" } pipeline { agent any stages { stage ("Run") { steps { pr() } } } } I get this error: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: some_var for class: groovy.lang.Binding If the def is removed from some_var , it works fine. Could someone explain the scoping rules that cause this behavior? TL;DR variables defined with def in the main script body cannot be accessed from other methods. variables defined without def can be accessed directly

In Jenkins scripted pipeline we are able to create methods and can call them. Is it possible also in the Jenkins declarative pipeline? And how? Newer versions of the declarative pipelines support this, while this was not possible before (~mid 2017). You can just declare functions as you'd expect it from a groovy script: pipeline { agent any stages { stage('Test') { steps { whateverFunction() } } } } void whateverFunction() { sh 'ls /' } You can create a groovy function like this and save it in your git which should be configured as managed library (Configure it in jenkins too): /path/to/repo
