Had this error today,

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.
