Boon Elschenbroich added a comment - 2022-02-21 16:38 - edited It looks like it is before the build step. I can see the prebuild steps being evaluated and then I just see this error almost immediately after starting the job without any more context.  This is the log with the new release: 13:51:57.971 Run condition [Not] preventing prebuild for step [BuilderChain] 13:51:57.971 Run condition [Boolean condition] enabling prebuild for step [Invoke top-level Maven targets] 13:51:58.044 Exception caught evaluating condition: [org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.MacroEvaluationException: Error processing tokens] , action =  [Fail the build] I switched back to the previous release of the token-macro plugin. And this is what I see instead (working): 16:56:20.320 Run condition [Not] preventing prebuild for step [BuilderChain] 16:56:20.320 Run condition [Boolean condition] enabling prebuild for step [Invoke top-level Maven targets] 16:56:20.321 New run name is '#13528 deploy 2.3.0.0.969 to xxxxx' 16:56:20.423 Regular expression run condition: Expression= [^(?:.*/)?master$|^(?:.*/)?(feature|release)/.*] , Label= [2.3.0.0.969] 16:56:20.424 Run condition [Not] enabling perform for step  [BuilderChain] Looks like this conditional step is failing that is using a regular expression

Boon Elschenbroich added a comment - 2022-02-22 12:56 We are not using any out of the ordinary tokens. These are the ones that we are using in this particular build job: #${BUILD_NUMBER} deploy ${DEPLOY_FROM} to ${INSTANCE_NAME} ${ENV,var="DEPLOY_FROM"} ${CWA_VERSION} ${BUILD_COMPLETE_REACTOR} ${DEPLOYMENT_ITEMS} And so on. So all tokens are quite simple. But, after doing some investigation I have the strong feeling that the conditional step, in which we use this regex, is causing the build to fail: ^(?:.*/)?master$|^(?:.*/)?(feature|release)/.* This seems to be evaluated as a token because of the $ sign. I ran a quick unit test in the token macro plugin and it shows the same error message with the regex $ sign in place. Without it, there is no error.  

Boon Elschenbroich added a comment - 2022-02-22 12:59 This is the test I executed: assertEquals( "^(?:.*/)?master$|^(?:.*/)?(feature|release)/.* " ,TokenMacro.expandAll(b, TaskListener.NULL, "^(?:.*/)?master$|^(?:.*/)?(feature|release)/.* " )); and it gave me this error: org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.MacroEvaluationException: Error processing tokensorg.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.MacroEvaluationException: Error processing tokens at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.Parser.parse(Parser.java:97) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.Parser.process(Parser.java:75) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.Parser.process(Parser.java:68) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.TokenMacro.expand(TokenMacro.java:199) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.TokenMacro.expandAll(TokenMacro.java:237) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.TokenMacro.expandAll(TokenMacro.java:211) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.TokenMacro.expandAll(TokenMacro.java:203) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.tokenmacro.TokenMacroTest.testBasics(TokenMacroTest.java:41) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:566) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:59) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:12) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(FrameworkMethod.java:56) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.InvokeMethod.evaluate(InvokeMethod.java:17) at org.jvnet.hudson.test.JenkinsRule$1.evaluate(JenkinsRule.java:603) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.FailOnTimeout$CallableStatement.call(FailOnTimeout.java:299) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.FailOnTimeout$CallableStatement.call(FailOnTimeout.java:293) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.lang.

Alex Earl added a comment - 2022-02-22 15:43 Yeah, I was thinking it was something to do with a token, but it looks like it is doing something different than it used to with things that aren't tokens. I will get to the bottom of it today hopefully.
