Jenkins setup:  
Version 2.501

Deployment based on this tutorial:

> **[GitHub - aws-samples/serverless-jenkins-on-aws-fargate](https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-jenkins-on-aws-fargate)**
>
> Contribute to aws-samples/serverless-jenkins-on-aws-fargate development by creating an account on GitHub.

We just updated to 2.5 and then to 2.501 hoping it would help resolve our issue with 2.5. I am not able to recall exactly what version we were on before but it was around 2.47 something.

We saw a notice that there was a security issue and when we updated it would no longer spin up the cluster for the controller because agentProtocols was in our configuration. Eventually I was able to create a new image with agentProtocols removed and everything seemed to be working, but now all of our spot agents running jenkins/inbound-agent based images crash when running jobs with the message:

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: Class org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.global.WorkflowLibRepository does not have member field ‘java.io.File workspace’

I am unable to find any similar situations online.

Seems you’re using the deprecated plugin [Pipeline: Deprecated Groovy Libraries](https://plugins.jenkins.io/workflow-cps-global-lib/)  
That is the only plugin where I could find the class `WorkflowLibRepository`.  
It makes use of the [Git server](https://plugins.jenkins.io/git-server/) plugin which had a [change](https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-server-plugin/pull/134) recently that would explain the error.
