      We'd like to make use of credentials stored in Jenkins from a groovy class that's part of our job DSL scripts. Unfortunately this seems to be impossible since 1.43 (couldn't actually find a reference to this in the code/changelog, but did find this SO answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/40474755 ) because it's impossible to import the necessary classes.

      This simple example:

      def creds = com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(    com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.common.StandardUsernameCredentials.class,    Jenkins.instance,    null,    null);for (c in creds) {     println(c.id + ": " + c.description)}

      from https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Printing+a+list+of+credentials+and+their+IDs

      works fine in the script console but fails when putting it in a job DSL script.

      This means the only way for us to provide these credentials is as hardcoded strings in our job DSL scripts, which is of course not acceptable.

          I created this issues after reading that page multiple times and trying out different things, none of which work.

          The latter 2 options are insecure, so obviously not an option and the 1st one is the reason I created this issue, credentials() only works in certain places like when defining a git remote, not everywhere/in groovy classes.

          Would the linked issue solve this problem?
          It seems easier to just make credentials() work everywhere?

          I found I was running into same issue - the groovy script worked fine when testing with the in script editor.
          what made it finally work for me was adding 'import jenkins.model.*' to top of script - viola all my calls with the 

           
          com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials
          were working again
