Jenkins startup failed error

Using Jenkins
1

I use a windows node. In the existing pipeline I added a new stage, but it throws ```
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: error

stage(‘Liquibase Integration’) {
steps {
bat label:‘’, script: ‘’’
liquibase -version
‘’’
}
}

2

you have open-singlequote open-doublequote, then close-singlequote close-doublequote

I’m not sure why you have so many quotes, but they should be in pairs, so flip one of them

3

no, all are single quote, we use that for multiline commands.
I tried below snippet, same error.

stage(‘Liquibase Integration’) {
steps {
script {
liquibase -version
}
}
}

I think @halkeye is right, there’s something odd with your quotes.

What about:

stage('Liquibase Integration') {
  steps {
    bat label:'', script: '''
      liquibase -version
    '''
  }
}

?

5

I just tried, no luck.

6

It doesn’t like even when I tried with an empty stage.

stage(‘Liquibase Integration’) {
}

7

Do you have the very same error each time? :thinking:

8

yes, that’s right. It throws the same error message.

9

is that literally what you wrote? those are smart quotes, not real quotes

10

No real quotes, I verified again.

11

I have a feeling at this point that the error is outside of the stages. If you’re able to, can you try posting a bit more of your pipeline so we can see that there isn’t another syntax error outside of the stage you’re adding?

12

I already tested. If I remove the new stage, pipeline works fine.

13

I figured out the issue. We currently have 15 stages in the pipeline. Normally, we don’t have to run the entire pipeline every time we just abort it. I let it run a build to complete the full cycle. Finally, I modified the jenkinsfile to include a new stage. It did not throw any error this time.
