cannot capture the output from the plugin

[marslo]

Describe the bug

I'd like to using jfrog plugin instead of jfrog cli installed in Jenkins agent in the pipeline.

However, I've noticed the jfrog plugin returns org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.NullObject class, details:

• pipeline:

  withEnv([ "JFROG_BINARY_PATH=${tool 'jfrog-cli'}", "JFROG_CLI_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG" ]) {
      println ".. start .. "
      def output = jf '-v'
      println ".. output.getClass(): ${output.getClass()} .."
      println ".. output: ${output} .."
  }

• console output:

  jf version 2.72.2
  [Pipeline] echo
   .. output.getClass(): class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.NullObject ..
  [Pipeline] echo
   .. output: null ..
  

---

system info:

• script

  println( "Groovy: ${GroovySystem.version}" )
  println( "Jenkins: ${jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.getVersion()}" )
  println( "OS: ${System.getProperty('os.name')} - ${System.getProperty('os.version')}" )
  println( "Java: ${System.getProperty('java.version')} - ${System.getProperty('java.vm.vendor')} (${System.getProperty('java.vm.name')})" )
  println "---"
  
  Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins
      .collect()
      .findAll { it.getShortName().contains('jfrog') }
      .each {
          plugin -> println("${plugin.getShortName()}:${plugin.getVersion()}")
      }
  return

• result

  Groovy: 2.4.21
  Jenkins: 2.479.2
  OS: Linux - 4.19.12-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
  Java: 17.0.13 - Eclipse Adoptium (OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM)

Thank you for using the Jenkins JFrog plugin!

The feature for capturing the JFrog CLI output has not been released yet.
We will notify you once it becomes available.
