groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: manager for class: Script1

Question

I am trying to invoke Groovy inside Hudson (using groovy plugin) to get some properties for our build. But I am getting this exception:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: manager for class: Script1

I get this with the following line:

def buildNUmber = manager.build.number

This happens when I run as an inline command within Jenkins as well as using a script:

I tried the solution below, but it fails during the declaration itself (line two):

Binding binding = new Binding();
binding.setVariable("manager", manager);
GroovyShell shell = new GroovyShell(binding);
shell.evaluate(new File("d:/dev/others/hudson/userContent/ScriptStuff.groovy").text);

The above is run using: Groovy command. And when I run the build it errors and complains about the line - binding.setVariable("manager", manager);

When I use the Groovy script file, then it complains about:

 def buildNumber = manager.build.number

Both errors are :

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: manager for class: Script1

Tried everything mentioned in this thread as well:

I am using Hudson 2.2.1 and Groovy 2.1.3. What could be wrong?

I tired in the script console and it fails there with the same exception. — avijendr, Apr 18 '13 at 13:53

manager is provided by certain Groovy script plugins, but not all. To make your script generic, use the Jenkins/Hudson API instead:

import hudson.model.*

def build = Thread.currentThread().executable
def buildNumber = build.number

Great! How do you get job name from build variable? I can see build contains job name and build number but don't know how to print it. Tried all kinds of combinations – webDeveloper Apr 06 '16 at 11:00
Once you have build object you can do . . . 'jobname = build.getEnvVars()["JOB_NAME"]' 'workspace = build.getEnvVars()["WORKSPACE"]' – gaoithe Mar 24 '17 at 10:46

Just in case it helps, if you are using the 'Execute System Groovy Script', you don't need to use the 'manager' variable. This worked for me -

def workspace = build.getEnvVars()["WORKSPACE"]

It helps. Thanks. '''def JOB_NAME = build.getEnvVars()["JOB_NAME"]''' then later in html use $JOB_NAME. – gaoithe Jan 20 '17 at 11:37
Thanks you, it helped me ! – Dams Jun 01 '17 at 13:44
It was reasonably hard to find this helpful answer, so thank you! – Armin Jan 25 '19 at 11:01

One of the reasons groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: is thrown when you are using a variable outside of its scope or you haven't defined that variable.

Maybe I'm missing some part of your code, but where do you define the manager? If that's the complete Groovy script, you're trying to bind a variable which isn't declared anything, so it isn't surprising that it fails.

Just define a manager it that's what you want, like:

def manager = "my manager" // probably not what you want

This should solve your current error.

Sorry I can't do that way, as the manager is a value that we should get from Hudson instance. – avijendr Apr 22 '13 at 07:19

I understand, but it seems like you are trying to execute a Groovy script yourself, instead of using https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Groovy+Postbuild+Plugin, based on the GroovyShell.execute() command. – Erik Pragt Apr 22 '13 at 07:26

Make sure you doing a "Post Build Action" and not a "Post Step" – JMess Oct 18 '18 at 17:24
