Our groovie pipelines fail immediately update from Jenkins 2.361.4 to Jenkins 2.387.3

Kind community,

We are upgrading to the new LTS from Jenkins 2.361.4 to Jenkins 2.387.3.

After upgrading the core version, our groovie pipelines fail with the following error, before any step in the pipeline:

Upon research, we found that the cause is two plugins: Script Security (1229.v4880b_b_e905a_6) and Pipeline: Groovy (2689.v434009a_31b_f1).

In fact, after updating them simultaneously, as per the release notes for Script Security 1184.v85d16b_d851b_3, to the latest versions Script Security (1244.ve463715a_f89c) and Pipeline: Groovy (3659.v582dc37621d8) the error is no longer there.

At this point, another error occurs, before any step in the pipeline:

Regarding this one, we could not find references to resolve and pipelines fail immediately after startup, even with simple echo steps in Declarative Pipeline.

Has anyone ever had this problem or can give us more information?

Thanks in advance for any help!
Marco.

Hello @mb77 and welcome to this community

How did you update the plugins? Via the Jenkins UI, or by downloading and installing the plugins by yourself?

Are you sure these two updated plugins are compatible with your version of Jenkins?

mb77 · May 15, 2023, 1:04pm

Hello,

We upgraded the plugins with the UI, as we always did in the past without any problem. The upgrade seems to finish properly and the version installed is displayed correctly in the installed plugins tab.

The plugins don’t show any warning regarding the compatibility with the latest LTS, by the way exploring the detailed version information for both of them, Script Security and Pipeline: Groovy, the rows for Jenkins version 2.387.3 are missing.
Unfortunately, it is not explicit if it is an incompatibility issue or something else.

Thanks for the support.
Marco.

Hello,

Did you fix the issue?

Regards,

Thanks so much! We encountered the samme error. Resolved it quickly thanks to your analysis by updating the following three plugins.

Hi Simon,

Unfortunately we are still blocked on the update.
Could you please share the version of Jenkins and the plugins you installed to solve the issue?
Did you upgrade the plugins from the UI or did you use the CLI?
Did you upgrade the plugins all together or one at the time?

Thank you in advance for your help,
Marco.
