[JENKINS-70018] @CompileStatic does not work well in Pipelines

Various users have reported issues with {@​CompileStatic}} in Pipelines. See https://github.com/cloudbees/groovy-cps/issues/87 and https://github.com/cloudbees/groovy-cps/issues/88.

Specifically:

• @​NonCPS and @​CompileStatic cannot be used together (perhaps related to the sandbox transformation?)


• @​CompileStatic cannot be used on a class, only on individual methods.

Raw content of original issue

Various users have reported issues with {@CompileStatic}} in Pipelines. See https://github.com/cloudbees/groovy-cps/issues/87 and https://github.com/cloudbees/groovy-cps/issues/88.

@CompileStatic cannot be used on a class, only on individual methods.

Start by reading the linked groovy-cps issues 87 and 88, then inspect the workflow-cps-plugin behavior around @NonCPS and @CompileStatic. Reproduce both reported cases; done means the annotations work together and @CompileStatic works on classes as well as individual methods.
