TL;DR:

For plugins which don't have Pipeline integration, and for which I'd like to call their publisher class manually using a "step([$class: '........']) call, how do I find:

• The name of the class to use (e.g. CppNCSSPublisher)
• The names of parameters to use
• Which ones are required/options

Or is there a better way to integrate these publishers?

I'm using the BlueOcean container with Declarative pipelines. I'm also running some code quality tools that I've used in the past on non-pipeline Jenkins jobs (namely cppcheck and lizard, which dumps cppncss-formatted XML).

Lots and lots of reporting plugins don't yet work in Pipelines. Specifically, CppNCSS-plugin.

To run this plugin from the pipeline, in my "post" section I'm trying to call the class manually as a "step()" call, but it keeps crashing. I'm having a very hard time finding useful documentation to explain how to do this, or if there's another way.

My current command attempt:

• step([$class: 'hudson.plugins.cppncss.CppNCSSPublisher', reportFilenamePattern: 'lizard.xml'])

Crashes with a "cannot instantiate" Java dump.
