We are testing our Jenkins upgrade to version 2.150.2. 
Using the UI, we are running existing jobs as a test.  Note, these jobs run fine on version 2.121.3, which is our current version.  This is preventing us from upgrading.

This is what we call a health check job running every 30 minutes to confirm our connection to Artifactory is working.

Updated Information:

We have isolated this error to the download using the plugin.  It looks like it tries to publish build information on the download before even trying to download the artifact.  In the output below, you'll see a directory listing from a prior job step.  Then it will show it's trying to publish the build information and the failure. I don't see it trying to download the artifact, which I though would happen before the publish.
