Scripted Pipeline linting works from CLI but not from Api

    • Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Icon: Minor Minor

      According to https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/development/#linter ,

      one can check the syntax of a Jenkinsfile either using the CLI

       

      java-jar jenkins-cli.jar declarative-linter < Jenkinsfile 
      

       

      or using the HTTP API:

       

      curl -X POST -F "jenkinsfile=<Jenkinsfile" $JENKINS_URL/pipeline-model-converter/validate

      Interestingly, though, the former (CLI) validates successfully Scripted Pipelines while the latter (HTTP) does not.

      Here is a trivial example of a Jenkinsfile:

      node {
        pwd
      }
      

      The CLI output is

      Jenkinsfile successfully validated.

      while the HTTP api output is

      Jenkinsfile content 'node {\n  pwd\n}\n' did not contain the 'pipeline' step

      I believe it's very convenient that the CLI can check Scripted Pipelines as well and it would be great if one could do it via the HTTP api as well!

           I'm facing the same problem. I hope that HTTP API can lint the scripted jenkins file soon.

          Same for me, but i've noticed that the 

          java-jar jenkins-cli.jar declarative-linter < Jenkinsfile 
          

          returns Jenkinsfile successfully validated even if the scripted pipeline is having syntax errors,

          I hope they will fix the bug
