After upgrading plugin from kubernetes 3568.vde94f6b_41b_c8 to kubernetes 3578.vb_9a_92ea_9845a_, my job's running container is not running in the defined namespace and is defaulting to default.  Because it is running in the wrong namespace, it cannot find the kubernetes secret file it needs in that namespace.

I confirmed this by upgrading only this one plugin on a test jenkins server. The job ran fine before the upgrade, and then failed after.

In my Jenkins Pipeline job configure I have defined:
String Parameter:
Name:
ENVIRONMENT

Default Value:
production

Jenkinsfile.cron:
yaml """
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
namespace: ${env.ENVIRONMENT}
...

Although namespace should get replaced by "production", the running container is running in the default namespace.

Output after upgrading the plugin:
Created Pod: kubernetes default/vidiemi-cron-6460-1ljv2-3mqcx-dpkj0
