Not able to split string in groovy DSL and there is no multi-line

Question

I am trying to split a URL http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/storage/myrepo/sub1/file.zip in groovy DSL of Jenkins. It is a single line string. But following code does not work

String[] arr= string_var.split('/');  
String[] arr=string_var.split('\\/');

It does not split it and returns itself in arr[0]. I am not sure if it is a bug. Please let me know if any other way is there in groovy to get "sub1" from URL string.

Are you sure that you doing DSL script correctly? As the groovy code looks to be OK. Try to skip declaring types

def url_str = 'http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/storage/myrepo/sub1/file.zip'
def sub = url_str.split('/')[-2]
println(sub)

in one line:

println('http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/storage/myrepo/sub1/file.zip'.split('/')[-2])

no split, indexes:

def url_str = 'http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/storage/myrepo/sub1/file.zip'
int[] indexes = url_str.findIndexValues {it == "/"}
println url_str.substring(indexes[-2] + 1, indexes[-1])

That split() itself is not working. I am not sure why this is happening. – Sanjay Sharma Aug 17 '18 at 17:48
What version of groovy do you use? Do you have any exceptions, errors? – yeugeniuss Aug 17 '18 at 18:03
try without split, I added variant. – yeugeniuss Aug 17 '18 at 19:25

Try enclosing your code inside a 'script' tag of DSL language like the following piece of code:

pipeline {
  agent any
  stages {
    stage('Test') {
      steps {
        script {
          def string_var = "http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/storage/myrepo/sub1/file.zip"
          String[] arr= string_var.split('/');
          println "${arr[0]}"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Executing code above I get this result on the console:

[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Test)
[Pipeline] script
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] echo
http:
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // script
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline

Thus, giving the expected 'http:' String

Another Groovy way to get the string 'sub1' (regex):

String s = "http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/storage/myrepo/sub1/file.zip"

def match = s =~ /(sub1)/
if (match.size() > 0) { // If url 's' contains the expected string 'sub1'
  println match[0][1]
  // Or do something with the match
}

In first solution I am getting error as not able to find method and 2nd solution won't work as I need to find value "sub1". So match won't work. – Sanjay Sharma Aug 17 '18 at 16:49
I have updated the first method with the full example it it helps. That works for me on my local Jenkins (gives green every time I run it). Maybe your full script has something missing, watch the pipeline sections you use. – CMassa Aug 17 '18 at 17:25
I have a class for fetching Artifactory using Jenkins plugin and in a method I am trying to split a string. – Sanjay Sharma Aug 17 '18 at 18:37
