Description

You may notice that a simple groovy script that was successfully running on Jenkins instances including version 2.138.4.3-rolling

import com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.modeling.Model
print "Done"

started to fail when you upgraded to Jenkins version 2.164.1.2-rolling or later. The exact error reads

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Script1.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.modeling.Model
 @ line 1, column 1.
   import com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.modeling.Model
