Migrated test framework to Groovy 4 (required for Java 25 compatibility). During the upgrade, several cross-class shared library interoperability tests started failing with MissingMethodException (e.g. pipeline step `sh` not intercepted inside library class instances). These tests are now temporarily ignored pending a redesign of interception logic under Groovy 4. Ignored tests in `src/test/groovy/com/lesfurets/jenkins/TestInterceptingGCL.groovy`: - test_cross_class_interop_library_loaded_with_implicit - test_cross_class_interop_no_implicit_dynamic - test_cross_class_interop_no_implicit_annotation - test_pre_loaded_cross_class_interop_library_loaded_with_implicit - test_pre_loaded_cross_class_interop_no_implicit_dynamic - test_pre_loaded_cross_class_interop_no_implicit_annotation Reason: Cross class interoperability with @Library annotation not yet supported under Groovy 4; pipeline step interception differs from Groovy 2.x/3.x causing `MissingMethodException` (example: `ClassA.sh(echo 'ClassA: I'm field of A')`). Next steps (not in this commit): - Investigate adapting `PipelineTestHelper.callMethod` for method dispatch inside library class instances. - Re-enable tests once interception restored. Refs: branch `use-groovy4-to-enable-java25`

These suddenly filled the stack output

The load inline was completely broken, it was just hanging - so used existing logic to treat as file scripts

Not needed for upgrade, but was clearly an error

Helped with the majority of the issues of switching...

Jenkins itself only supports Groovy 2, although there is a long-standing effort underway to support Groovy 3/4, see https://community.jenkins.io/t/upgrade-groovy-jenkins-plugin/6892 (for example). I worry that supporting Groovy 4 would allow for developers mistakenly adding Groovy 4 features in their pipeline libraries, which would work fine when tested with this framework, but not on an actual Jenkins instance. |
First of all, thanks for taking the time to comment. I share your concern - maybe it could be addressed? But as it stands we cannot build nor test our extensive java/groovy jenkins shared library when everything is moved to java 25. As long as groovy 2 does not provide a version that can recognise java 25 classfiles, this is our only course of action. |
Yeah, I share your frustration. We're kind of stuck in the middle here: needing to support an older Groovy version and a newer Java version. Also, it's worth noting that Jenkins itself doesn't have Java 25 support, and this isn't in the roadmap yet: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/platform-information/support-policy-java/ |

Migrated test framework to Groovy 4 (required for Java 25 compatibility).
These changes are an absolute minimum to get the majority of the functionality to work under Java 25 - I ran into the following challenges:

shnot intercepted inside library class instances). These tests are now temporarily ignored pending a redesign of interception logic under Groovy 4.Ignored tests in
