      Baseline global Library code:

      Here is the base code for the example.
      I will add to each example where I change the code.

      jenkins.mkobit.example.FirstClass

      package jenkins.mkobit.example

class FirstClass {
  FirstClass() {
  }
}

      jenkins.mkobit.example.SiblingClass

      package jenkins.mkobit.example

class SiblingClass {
  static class SiblingInner {
  }
}

      Jenkinsfile examples:

      FirstClass creates an instance of sibling class

      jenkins.mkobit.example.FirstClass

      package jenkins.mkobit.example

class FirstClass {
  FirstClass() {
    new SiblingClass()
  }
}

      Jenkinsfile

      @Library('pipelineUtilities@mkobit-global-cps-test')
import jenkins.mkobit.example.FirstClass

def firstClass = new FirstClass()

      Result: SUCCESS

      FirstClass creates an instance of sibling static nested class in constructor

      jenkins.mkobit.example.FirstClass

      package jenkins.mkobit.example

class FirstClass {
  FirstClass() {
    new SiblingClass.SiblingInner()
  }
}

      Jenkinsfile

      @Library('pipelineUtilities@mkobit-global-cps-test')
import jenkins.mkobit.example.FirstClass

def firstClass = new FirstClass()

      Result: FAILURE - I expect this to work similarly to how normal Groovy code works. Instead, I get a failed compilation issue.

      BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit 'WorkflowScript' The lookup for jenkins.mkobit.example.FirstClass caused a failed compilaton. There should not have been any compilation from this call.

      Result: FAILURE - I thought this might help out by forcing compilation.
