when building Jenkins Pipeline using Script from SCM. The weird thing is the same script is working perfectly well when being executed directly from Jenkins, without the SCM / Git part.

The rootcause is actually simple, we are storing the Jenkins pipeline in Git using UTF8 With BOM with a specific Windows encoding. Saving it as a UTF8 directy and push it to Git can solve this problem.

ps.
opening the log in notepad++, after choosing the option to show all character, will give this result.

As we can see from above image, there is a “hidden” character with the name of “ZWNBSP” that is invisible to naked eyes. However it makes Jenkins failed to parse the corresponding pipeline.
