httpRequest method in Pipeline causes weird behavior

      We're running into an issue with httpRequest in a Groovy script used on a mutlibranch pipeline job.

      I have code that looks something like this:

      /**** Jenkinsfile ****/
      // ...
      notify = load 'notify.groovy'
      // ...
      if (checkResults(...) > 0) {
          println 'Tests failed, stopping build'
          return 1
      }
      
      int checkResults(...) {
          // ...
          notify.buildFailed(...)
      
          return failedTestCount
      }
      
      /**** notify.groovy ****/
      
      void buildFailed(...) {
        // ...
        sendMessage(...)
      }
      
      void sendMessage(...) {
         // ...
        def response = httpRequest acceptType: 'APPLICATION_JSON', contentType: 'APPLICATION_JSON',
          httpMode: 'POST', requestBody: body, consoleLogResponseBody: true,
          url: 'https://example.net/hooks/4ezwZwLYbmYwJmD6MXN6yH3YNdd/C6m5uKJstArcKQyxfBYb5nMW7PkPSriACsXg9w',
          validResponseContent: '"success":true'
      
        println "Sent a notification, got a $response.status response"
      }
      

      Expected Results

      When this code runs, I expect for the httpRequest to return the response, the code to get printed out from my println, then checkResults to return the number of failed tests it detected (code not shown). However, that's not what happens.

      Actual Results

      Instead, sendMessage immediately return without executing my println, and most oddly of all, checkResults ends up returning the HTTP Response from httpRequest! How is this even possible?

      The symptom, other than my println doing nothing, is that the > 0 comparison in the Jenkinsfile doesn't work and this exception is thrown:

      groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Cannot compare jenkins.plugins.http_request.ResponseContentSupplier with value 'Status: 200, Response: {"success":true}' and java.lang.Integer with value '0'
      

      It's possible that I'm doing something wrong here, but this seems very much like a bug. It's hard for me to imagine what I could do wrong that would cause the stack to get blown apart in such a way.

          I've tried it and It is working ok

           

          def body = 'test'
          def response = httpRequest acceptType: 'APPLICATION_JSON', contentType: 'APPLICATION_JSON',
            httpMode: 'POST', 
            requestBody: body, consoleLogResponseBody: true,
            url: 'http://requestb.in/1ecf72r1',
            validResponseContent: 'ok'
          println "Sent a notification, got a $response response"
          

          This will log:

           

          Running: Perform an HTTP Request and return a response object
          HttpMode: POST

          Running: End of Workflow
          Finished: SUCCESS

           

          Note that I changed validResponseContent: '"success":true' to validResponseContent: 'ok' otherwise I receive an error

           

          ERROR: Fail: Response with length 2 doesn't contain '"success":true'

           

          tyrelh

          Can you confirm if the response content has '"success":true'?

          Can you attach the full job log?

          It has been over four months since I reported this issue. I no longer have the job log available. We moved on by making the HTTP request using HttpsUrlConnection directly instead of this plugin and that has been working fine for the past four months.

          I just reverted back to using httpRequest and it now appears to be working fine. So wherever the bug is must has been fixed sometime in the last four months.

          Thanks, 

          Please, let me know, if it happens again.
