Jenkins Job DSL - Pipeline Stages

Question

I'm writing a groovy script with a job to deploy terraform. I'm using Job DSL and have the seed job being implemented by JCasC, all works fine. Then I have a repo with groovy files in containing the jobs.

If I keep the groovy file really simple as a single job, it works fine.

However, I want to be able to build a pipeline with build stages. I know I can write the pipeline in a Jenkinsfile & then call that jenkins file from Job DSL.. but ideally I would like to keep the entire pipeline in the groovy file for simplicity.

I have this as a starter:

pipelineJob('Deploy-K8s-Cluster') {
  definition {
    cps {
      script('''
        pipeline {
          agent any
            stages {
              stage('Checkout'){
                steps {
                  scm {
                    git {
                      branch('master')
                      remote {
                        url '[email protected]:jjbbtt/aws-infrastructure.git'
                        credentials('bitbucket-ssh')
                      }
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
              stage('Terraform Initialize') {
                steps {
                  'terraform init'
                }
              }
              stage('Terraform Plan') {
                steps{
                  'terraform plan -out=create.tfplan'
                }
              }
              stage('Terraform Apply') {
                steps{
                  'terraform apply -auto-approve create.tfplan'
                }
              }
              stage('Deploy Sealed Secrets Controller') {
                steps{
                  'kubectl apply -f sealed-secrets/controller.yaml'
                }
              }
            }
        }
      '''.stripIndent())
      sandbox()
    }
  }
}

However, I'm seeing this error:

General error during semantic analysis: There's no @DataBoundConstructor on any constructor of class javaposse.jobdsl.plugin.casc.FromUrlScriptSource

I've tried various ways, and read a bunch of docs.. but the issue is I'm not super familiar with Job DSL.

Am I missing something simple? Or barking up the wrong tree entirely?

I've checked the pipeline on the destination job.. it's present as per the above script. So perhaps this is not an issue with Job DSL at all, but a problem with the pipeline. — jonnybinthemix
I think I'm mixing Job DSL syntax with Puppetfile syntax - Perhaps the issue is that I'm using Job DSL syntax for the git checkout in the actual pipeline. — jonnybinthemix

I figured it out.. my misunderstanding was not seeing that anything inside the script() section of cps was not Job DSL. Works if I change the syntax.
