Always got an exception in Checkout

magicfly · May 16, 2025, 8:04am

Hi, I’m trying to perform a git checkout from a remote repository in Gitlab with a pipeline but it is failing. Could anyone help on it. Thanks! Here’s the pipeline snippet:

checkout([
                        $class: 'GitSCM',
                        branches: [[name: env.REAL_BRANCH]],
                        extensions: [
                            [$class: 'CloneOption', 
                            timeout: 60],
                            [$class: 'SubmoduleOption',
                            disableSubmodules: false,
                            parentCredentials: true,
                            recursiveSubmodules: false,
                            reference: '',
                            shallow: false,
                            trackingSubmodules: false],
                            [$class:'CheckoutOption',
                            timeout:60]
                        ],
                        submoduleCfg: [],
                        userRemoteConfigs: [[url: "${env.git_url}", credentialsId: 'MagicAccount']]
                        ])

The log is:

This is not related to the checkout step I think.
I assume somewhere else in your pipeline script you’re using a regex. As Jenkins will serialize the pipeline state frequently any usage of things that are not serializable will lead to this error.
Such things must be wrapped in a method that is annotated with @NonCPS and inside the method you can’t use regular pipeline steps.

Thank you so much! It works after I follow your suggestion to move all regex part in pipeline into functions marked with @NonCPS then checkout works well.
The exception always happens in checkout step, I thought it was caused by checkout.
Thanks again!
