Minor I've seen this a couple of times now – when first building a new project in Jenkins, an exception is thrown when loading the global pipeline library used by all our projects. This does not happen every time. There seems to be some confusion with the exception mentioning a job folder for a different project (see below).
The exception has not been seen to reoccur when another build is triggered immediately after this failure (this may be due to the low frequency of this occurance). We have not seen this type of failure in projects which are not new – so seems related to the initial checkout?
Note that no other projects where building at the time, and none where scheduled to build. The 'ANOTHERPROJECT' in the logs below was not recently rebuilt, and is not lexcially close to the project being built.
Complete log for the initial failed build (with named redacted):

Workaround:
Rebuild the project.
