No signature of method: collectLogs.call() is applicable for argument types

Question

Hi I tried to run my groovy script that collect a log from appended files

#!/usr/bin/env groovy
import static groovy.io.FileType.FILES
def call() {
    def CURRENT_DIRECTORY_PATH = 'automation-system-tests/ansible/appli'
    def ZIP_NAME = 'appLogs.zip'
    def FULL_LOGS_PATH = new File("/var/log/full.log")
    def LOG_LIST = []

new File("/var/log/").traverse(type: groovy.io.FileType.FILES, nameFilter: ~/app.*.log/) { next ->
     LOG_LIST << next
      }
 LOG_LIST.each{ FULL_LOGS_PATH.append(it.text) }

    echo 'Collecting Logs from the machine'
    collectLogs(FULL_LOGS_PATH, ZIP_NAME)
    archiveArtifacts artifacts: "${CURRENT_DIRECTORY_PATH}/machineLogs/**/*", allowEmptyArchive: true
}

i got this error

hudson.remoting.ProxyException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: collectLogs.call() is applicable for argument types: (java.io.File, java.lang.String) values: [/var/log/full.log, appLogs.zip]

Is it the same issue or something else can you please advise Jenkins groovy MissingMethodException No signature of method

Answer 1

The error states:

No signature of method: collectLogs.call() is applicable for argument types: (java.io.File, java.lang.String) values: [/var/log/full.log, appLogs.zip]
                                                                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Possible solutions: call(java.lang.String, java.lang.String), wait(), any(), run(), run(), collect()
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As suggested, the first argument must not be File but String. E.g. use:

collectLogs(FULL_LOGS_PATH.toString(), ZIP_NAME)

Or just use a string directly for your variable if the other places allow for that.
