Jenkins job-dsl generated job missing SCM

Question

I have a seed job creating Jenkins jobs and while the jobs are created, they're missing things like SCM, labels, and wrappers.

Here's a simple job script that gets created:

job(jobName) {
  label('pdfs')
  description jobDesc
  parameters {
    textParam('PDF_BRANCH', 'release/server_2.11.1', '')
  }
  scm {
    git {
      remote {
        url('https://stash.domain.com/scm/project/repo.git')
        credentials('repo-user-creds')
      }
      branch('*/master')
    }
  }
  triggers {
    scm 'H/5 * * * *'
  }
  steps {
    shell jobScript
  }
  wrappers {
    rbenv('1.9.3-p484') {
      ignoreLocalVersion()
      gems('bundler', 'rake')
    }
  }
}

But the resulting job has no SCM or label: The XML on the server seems to include SCM and label:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><project>
    <actions/>
    <description>Testing pdf creation job against Elemental Server</description>

I'm very new to Jenkins job-dsl so I'm sure I'm missing something fairly obvious but I just don't know what it is. Any help is very much appreciated, thanks!

Yes, I can manually add an SCM source, select credentials, etc, and it'll work. — Resisty

Look for any errors in the Jenkins logs and try to restart Jenkins.

There is a related FAQ entry in the Job DSL wiki: https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#why-isnt-my-generated-job-like-i-was-expecting-there-was-no-error-when-the-seed-job-ran
