Compatibility of http-builder-ng Groovy module with Jenkins 2

Question

Did somebody had a chance to use http-builder-ng Groovy module in Jenkins pipeline?

When I use this module with any kind of request/URL it always returns me null object when the same source code from my Desktop is being run fine.

Here is debug output:

<groovyx.net.http.UriBuilder$Basic@4bc2413c scheme=http port=-1 host=api.open-notify.org path=/astros.json query=[:] fragment=null userInfo=null parent=groovyx.net.http.UriBuilder$ThreadSafe@69c6847a useRawValues=null>

The older version of this module developed by groovy.codehouse works fine, but it doesn't have some methods which I need.

I would recommend against importing if at all possible. You can use built-in functionality to achieve the same results. Also be aware of "In-process Script Approval"

// GET
def get = new URL("https://httpbin.org/get").openConnection();
def getRC = get.getResponseCode();
println(getRC);
if(getRC.equals(200)) {
    println(get.getInputStream().getText());
}


// POST
def post = new URL("https://httpbin.org/post").openConnection();
def message = '{"message":"this is a message"}'
post.setRequestMethod("POST")
post.setDoOutput(true)
post.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json")
post.getOutputStream().write(message.getBytes("UTF-8"));
def postRC = post.getResponseCode();
println(postRC);
if(postRC.equals(200)) {
    println(post.getInputStream().getText());
}

You can also override the request method:

conn.setRequestProperty("X-HTTP-Method-Override", "PATCH");
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
