Varargs not supported in shared pipeline method signatures

XMLWordPrintable

      When calling a variadic shared pipeline method, the method signature is not recognised when GStrings are used - it seems they are not being coerced to Strings correctly.

      I have some simple shared libraries to demonstrate the issue:

      // vars/testUtils.groovy
      void call(String source, String... targets) {
          echo "testUtils ${source} ${targets.join(' ')}"
      }
      
      // vars/testUtilsListMethods.groovy
      void call(String source, Collection<String> targets) {
          echo "testUtilsListMethods ${source} ${targets.join(' ')}"
      }
      

      And a pipeline script:

      // load library with @Library(...) _
      def s  = 'source'
      def t1 = 'target1'
      def t2 = 'target2'
      
      echo 'LIST methods ' // all these method calls work fine
      testUtilsListMethods('source', ['target1', 'target2'])
      testUtilsListMethods(s, [t1, t2])
      testUtilsListMethods("${s}", ["${t1}", "${t2}"])
      
      echo 'VARARGS methods'  // the first two methods, using Strings, are ok
      testUtils('source', 'target1', 'target2')
      testUtils(s, t1, t2)
      testUtils("${s}", "${t1}", "${t2}")  // using GStrings doesn't work
      

      The final method call fails with the following error:

      java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No such DSL method 'call' found among steps [ archive, bat, build, ... ]

      Workaround is to use Collection<String> instead of varargs. I saw this was addressed in JENKINS-27893, which suggested JENKINS-32062 may have provided a fix - perhaps a regression has been introduced?
