    • Jenkins 2.121.1, plot-plugin 2.1.0

      After the update to 2.1.0 (don't remember which version we had before, but probably < 2.0) we get consistently an "Oops" page from Jenkins when accessing the "Plots" page of a specific job.

      The stack trace looks like this:

      After experimenting with a couple of test jobs I have come to this conclusion:

      • The crash only happens in a pipeline job, not freestyle
      • The crash only happens when there are multiple plots in the same group (have only tried a single group with 2 plots, though)
        • If the plots are in separate groups, everything is OK
      • The crash only happens if the plots have no title (whether set to '' or just left out)
        • It doesn't matter whether the titles are identical or not

      This small pipeline snippet will demonstrate the problem. Build it, then access "Plots", and you should get the crash:

      pipeline {
          agent any
          stages {
              stage('test') {
                  steps {
                      sh 'echo "S\n$(date +%S)" > values-1.csv'
                      sh 'echo "N\n$(date +%N)" > values-1.csv'
                      plot csvFileName: 'plot-1.csv', csvSeries: [[file: 'values-1.csv']], group: 'test', style: 'line', title: ''
                      plot csvFileName: 'plot-2.csv', csvSeries: [[file: 'values-2.csv']], group: 'test', style: 'line', title: ''
                  }
              }
          }
      }

      Maybe a clue: The resulting files (e.g plot-1.csv) begin with these two lines:

      "Title",
      "Value","Series Label","Build Number","Build Date","URL"
      

      Note the absence of value in line 1. For freestyle jobs, the first line has a "" after the comma.
