Cyrille Le Clerc added a comment - 2019-10-10 09:55 - edited Cross posting answer already made on  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jenkinsci-users/7P1Wd2W-OcA  Hello, This is one of the most broadly used feature of the pipeline-maven-plugin, I think it works for most user, there is probably a glitch somewhere. Can you please share your testing Jenkinsfile and the details reported by withMaven in the build logs? The troubleshooting pipeline script should look like withMaven(...) { sh "mvn help:effective-settings" } The build logs line that reports the credentials injected in the settings looks like [withMaven] using Maven global settings.xml 'global-settings- for -pipeline-maven-plugin' with Maven servers credentials provided by Jenkins (replaceAll: false ): [mavenServerId: 'github' , jenkinsCredentials: 'github-credentials' , username: 'cyrille-leclerc' , type: 'UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl' ], [mavenServerId: 'nexus3.example.com' , jenkinsCredentials: 'api-team-nexus-deployment-credentials' , username: 'api-team' , type: 'UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl' ]

Cyrille Le Clerc added a comment - 2019-10-25 10:10 Ack, i'm closing this ticket with "Can't reproduce" as several users have reported that this feature work for them. There me be an edge case or a glitch in the setup.

rross added a comment - 2021-12-16 14:38 - edited Whelp, I think I'm hitting this same exact "edge case".  I have tried both Global and user settings files, configured under Managed Files.  I've tried setting them as the default under tools configuration, as well as explicitly calling them by id on `withMaven`.  Nothing seems to work at all.  Using the steps to reproduce documented in this ticket, I crafted this stage: agent any tools { maven 'Maven_3.6.0' jdk 'jdk11' }   stages { stage('Setup') { steps { withMaven { sh 'mvn help:effective-settings' } } } } Running gets this in the pipeline log: [Pipeline] // stage [Pipeline] stage [Pipeline] { (Debug) [Pipeline] tool [Pipeline] envVarsForTool [Pipeline] tool [Pipeline] envVarsForTool [Pipeline] withEnv [Pipeline] { [Pipeline] withMaven [2021-12-16T14:41:48.646Z] [withMaven] Options: [] [2021-12-16T14:41:48.646Z] [withMaven] Available options: [2021-12-16T14:41:48.646Z] [withMaven] using JDK installation provided by the build agent [2021-12-16T14:41:48.652Z] [withMaven] using Maven global settings.xml 'global-maven-settings' with Maven servers credentials provided by Jenkins (replaceAll: false): [mavenServerId: 'com.myinternal.repo.releases', jenkinsCredentials: '7ad2488b-6087-4727-a1ca-6b9ced57baa6', username: 'ci', type: 'UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl'], [mavenServerId: 'com.myinternal.repo.snapshots', jenkinsCredentials: '7ad2488b-6087-4727-a1ca-6b9ced57baa6', username: 'ci', type: 'UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl'] [2021-12-16T14:41:48.653Z] $ /bin/sh -c "which mvn" [2021-12-16T14:41:48.660Z] [withMaven] Maven installation not specified in the 'withMaven()' step and not found on the build agent but 'mvnw' script found in the workspace.
