Can no longer use global pipeline libraries with p4 plugin Version: 1.14.4 and Jenkins Version: 2.426.3.

Interestingly, I was not able to reproduce the issue when I tested it at Jenkins 2.387.3. I have been able to reproduce the issue after upgrading Jenkins to 2.426.3. So, it seems that this issue could be something to do with Jenkins version.

[Reproduction]

1. Add following file to Perforce at '//depot/myLibrary/src/org/foo/lib.groovy':

package org.foo;

def testFunc ()

{   echo "HELLO" }

return this;

 

2. Add a Global Library (modern SCM > Helix Library) called 'test' (see pipeline_lib_01.png and pipeline_lib_02.png).

3. Add following file to Perforce at '//stream/main/Jenkinsfile' (see pipeline_project_config.png if using 'Pipeline script from SCM')

@Library('test@now')
import org.foo.lib.*

pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage("Repro") {
steps {
script

{ def z = new org.foo.lib() z.testFunc() }

}
}
}
}
