[JENKINS-73487] No such property: size for class: hudson.model.UpdateSite$Warning when using Java past version 11

[jenkins-infra-bot]

With any version of the scriplter plugin installed in a jenkins version greater than 2.442 or a java version past 11, the jenkins interface crashes with the log entry of:

org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException: jar:file:/D:/Apps/Tomcat%209.0/webapps/jenkins/WEB-INF/lib/jenkins-core-2.452.3.jar!/hudson/model/ManageJenkinsAction/index.jelly:45:57: Exception evaluating property 'size' for java.util.ArrayList, Reason: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: size for class: hudson.model.UpdateSite$Warning at org.apache.commons.jelly.impl.TagScript.handleException(TagScript.java:719)

• environment: jenkins versions past 2.442 and java past version 11, that is, this anything past this combination causes the error

  I'm unable to duplicate the problem as described.  The issue may be somehow related to your use of Tomcat as a container instead of using the Jenkins Winstone container.  It could be related to some other setting.  It could be related to the plugins you have installed compared to the plugins that I have installed.
  
  You'll need to provide more details so that others can duplicate the issue that you are seeing.  "How to report an issue" describes the types of details that are needed.
  
  Steps that I took while trying to duplicate the issue:
  
  
  	
  Create a  plugins.txt file that lists the plugins I've installed, included the suggested plugins from the Setup Wizard and scriptler plugin 363.vd97ef616cb_f9
  	
  Create a  run-jenkins.sh shell script that downloads Jenkins 2.468 and the plugins defined in the plugins.txt file
  	
  Run the run-jenkins.sh shell script and complete the setup wizard by installing no additional plugins and creating a user
  	
  Define a script println System.getenv("PATH") with the scriptler menu and save it
  	
  Run the script and confirm that the system refuses to run the script because it has not yet been approved
  	
  Use the script approval page from "Manage Jenkins" to approve the script
  	
  Run the script and confirm that the script runs and generates the expected output
  	
  Confirm that no warning messages were printed to the console where the run-jenkins.sh shell script is running
  
  
  
  The steps were run with Java 21.0.4 on a Debian Linux computer.

  This report looks very similar to a report from earlier this year that received no response and could not be duplicated.  teaflood if you want further action on this, you'll need to provide enough information so that others can duplicate it.
  
  Does the failure only happen when Tomcat is used and not when the Jenkins Winstone container is used?
  
  What plugins are you using and what are their versions?

What plugins are you using and what are their versions?
