I'm trying to write a groovy method for Jenkins pipeline. The method gets two variables, put them inside a string, and execute the string as a shell command.

Here is the method:

def method(A, B) {
        test = "cp app/scripts/" + A + "config." + B + "js app/scripts/config.js"

        def rc = sh(script: test, returnStatus: true)
        if (rc != 0) {
            error "Failed, exiting now..."
        }
}

Here is the error i get when i execute this code:

The current scope already contains a variable of the name rc
 @ line 148, column 13.
           def rc = sh(script: """
               ^

Does anyone know what could be the issue?

try using a different variable name than `rc`. This looks like a groovyC error to me...it is complaining that `rc` exists in scope already – mistahenry Dec 17 '19 at 15:35

I'd rather expect, that there is a `rc` from jenkins than suspecting the groovy compiler. – cfrick Dec 17 '19 at 15:38

Thanks guys. I used other name than `rc` and it works. – Omri Dec 17 '19 at 15:42

@cfrick I meant from jenkins. I've seen this during groovyC especially with ast transforms. I wasn't suggesting a bug in groovyC :) – mistahenry Dec 17 '19 at 16:23

It's strictly recommended to give a more significant name to variables – Eugene Hoza Dec 18 '19 at 11:43
