      When there is an error in my Jenkinsfile (for example, trying to invoke a null function variable) I see a Java stacktrace without details about where the error occurred (see screenshot). I understand that my groovy code is converted to Java, but there are no hints given about where in the Groovy code I should look (no line number, function or variable names, etc).

      I would expect to see a line number of where the error occurred inside the Jenkinsfile, and if  possible the function name it occurred in.

          [JENKINS-47131] Jenkinsfile errors shows Java stacktrace without Jenkinsfile line number

          It's a little obscure, but WorkflowScript is what you're looking for. That's the fake class name we use for the Pipeline script, whether it comes from a Jenkinsfile or a script in the job config itself, etc.

          It'd be a massive help to transform `WorkflowScript` in traces to the value of `${pipeline-script}` or annotate it with the same. Even better to also abbreviate the trace after `WorkflowScript.run`.

          Why isn't "WorkflowScript.run means Jenkinsfile" documented anywhere?
