[JENKINS-73863] job-dsl manipulation of polling triggers is overridden

[jenkins-infra-bot]

using jenkins job dsl (job-dsl:1.89) in conjunction with cloudbees-folders (cloudbees-folder:6.955.v81e2a_35c08d3) and jenkins LTS (2.462.3) to run a script to create an organizationFolder and set it's polling interval to 5m, which seems to work as script is run, but then seems to be overwritten after the dsl to revert polling to a default of 1d...

we have tried the formal syntax and the configure syntax with the same result:

organizationFolder {
//... 
  triggers {
    periodicFolderTrigger {
      interval('5m')
    }
  }
//...  
}

 

and 

organizationFolder {
//...
  configure {
    it / 'triggers' << 'com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.computed.PeriodicFolderTrigger' {
      spec '* * * * *'
      interval 300000
    }
  }
//...
}

dumping the raw groovy.util.Node objects after with the following routine shows that the config took at that level

def _print(node, msg='', indent=0) {
  if (!indent) {
    println "print ${msg}..."
  }
  
  def tab = ''  for (i=0; i'  '
  }
  
  def children = node.children()
  def hasValue = (children.size() == 1) && !(children[0] instanceof groovy.util.Node)
  def value = hasValue ? " (${children[0]})" : ''
  println "${tab}${node.name()}${value}"
  if (!hasValue) {
    children.each {
      _print(it, msg, indent + 1)
    }
  }
} 

output:

  triggers
    com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.computed.PeriodicFolderTrigger
      spec (* * * * *)
      interval (300000) 

but then when dumping resultant config.xml, it looks like:

  
    "cloudbees-folder@​6.955.v81e2a_35c08d3">
      H H/4 * * *
      86400000
    
   

this actually works with an older version of plugins and corresponding plugin versions

jenkins LTS (2.426.3)

job-dsl:1.87

cloudbees-folder:6.858.v898218f3609d

i tried running on the more recent LTS version combo while back versioning to job-dsl:1.87, but it the trigger config still got forced to 1d, so seems like it points to a recent version of the cloudbees-folder plugin

  I have found this syntax from Job-DSL to be working on 2.479.3t, job-dsl 1.90 and Folders 6.980.v5a_cc0cb_25881 :
  
  
  periodicFolderTrigger {
      interval('24h')
  }
  
  
  
  	
  writing the intervall as '@daily' did not work
  	
  we have seens this interval to be displayed as "daily" in the ui
  	
  we have seen this interval to be translated into 'H H/4 *  * *' spec which does not realy seem to make sense but is part of the code in https://github.com/jenkinsci/cloudbees-folder-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/hudson/plugins/folder/computed/PeriodicFolderTrigger.java
