My jenkins-shared-libraries structure is this:

vars
  |_mainPipeline.groovy
resources
src
 |_ com
     |_company
          |_utils.groovy
          |_data.groovy

utils.groovy:

package com.company;
def getCommitHash() {
  return "somestring"
}
return this

data.groovy:

package com.company;
def utils = new com.company.utils()
def doSomeStuff() {
  def commitHash = utils.getCommitHash()
  // Do other stuff...
}
return this

mainPipeline.groovy: data.groovy:

def utils = new com.company.utils()
pipeline {
....
  def commitHash = utils.getCommitHash()
}

Importing utils on the mainPipeline works great, however, when I import it on data.groovy I get an exception:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: utils for class: groovy.lang.Binding

How do I use utils inside data? Thanks.

Where are your `import` statements? – Matthew Schuchard Nov 20 '19 at 17:58
Top of the file, just as in the quoted code above – Moshe Nov 20 '19 at 17:58
None of your code in the question has `import` statements. Please update the question. – Matthew Schuchard Nov 20 '19 at 17:59
In `mainPipeline` the `def utils = new com.company.utils()` is sufficient. Maybe that’s what’s missing? – Moshe Nov 20 '19 at 18:01
Ok normally a global var requires an import to invoke anything from that library. If that works, then that is new relative to the last version of pipeline I was using. Try `import com.company.utils` in your `data.groovy`. If that does not work, then maybe a relative of `import utils` would work. Either way this may not work, as I believe I saw a question before where the conclusion was this is not possible. I may be wrong however. – Matthew Schuchard Nov 20 '19 at 18:07
And then calling the function is the same? `utils.getCommitHash()`? – Moshe Nov 20 '19 at 18:09
You could directly `def utils = new utils()` if the import succeeds. – Matthew Schuchard Nov 20 '19 at 18:10
Thanks @MattSchuchard I’ll give it a go – Moshe Nov 20 '19 at 18:10
you should use java naming conventions to name your classes – injecteer Nov 20 '19 at 21:43
