ptofan : This problem started after recent Jenkins version upgrade (Version 2.462.1).  Downgrading the version or uninstalling/installing the plugin didn't help.

I believe this is another symptom of the same problem that is reported as JENKINS-73374. It will need a new release of the plugin that resolves the issues identified in JENKINS-72498

Unfortunately, version 24.2 of the Jenkins plugin does not work with the latest releases of Jenkins. We suggest downgrading to an older Jenkins version as a temporary solution.

The team is working on releasing version 24.3 that should come out early September. This one will have an upgrade to Java 21 and it will work on latest Jenkins LTS versions. 

alok_1979 markewaite sunilsce Since the issue was raised there is another Jenkins plugin release, 24.3, that now supports latest versions of Jenkins: [OpenText Application Automation Tools | Jenkins plugin|https://plugins.jenkins.io/hp-application-automation-tools-plugin/releases/].

Could you please try it and let me know if the issue is still occurring?

I was able to run Jenkins 2.462.3 with the 24.3 release. Steps that I took include:

1. Create run-jenkins.sh shell script that downloads Jenkins 2.462.3 and plugins including the 24.3 release
2. Create a plugins.txt script that lists the exact plugins to download
3. Run the run-jenkins.sh shell script and complete the setup wizard by adding a new user and choosing to install no additional plugins

I'm not a user of the plugin. I can't tell if it is working correctly.

As a Jenkins plugin developer, I'm concerned that the plugin still includes many more jar files than it needs to include. Some of the jar files that I think are not needed include:

• commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
• commons-io-2.13.0.jar
• commons-lang-2.6.jar
• commons-lang3-3.12.0.jar
