Missing token-macro results in failed to instantiate DockerBuilderPublisher

[tgross]

The token-macro dependency is marked as optional but I'm getting the stack trace below when I start up Jenkins (2.19.3). After adding token-macro, the error goes away but the problem isn't documented anywhere on https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Docker+Plugin, nor is what makes the optional component optional explained.

I had the same issue and your suggestion worked for me, just installing the plugin token-macro and restarting jenkins was enough. Thanks @tgross !

Can't install token-macro because it depends on json-path-api, which there seems to be no resolution for and as a result numerous plugins fail.

From the admin home screen, there's an option to correct, which does nothing.

[jm-ds]

I fixed my issue by manually installing json-path-api plugin from here: https://plugins.jenkins.io/json-path-api/releases/ Then I restarted Jenkins.

@jm-ds can you further explain what you mean when you say:

That version of the plugin is definitely available for download, as shown by the mirrorlist page at https://get.jenkins.io/plugins/json-path-api/2.8.0-5.v07cb_a_1ca_738c/json-path-api.hpi?mirrorlist . That version was released in December 2023
