seed script fails to create jobs using job DSL

See original GitHub issue

[latest ] Jenkins version
[1.4] Plugin version
[docker ] OS

When using following well-indented simple job dsl script to create seed jobs, the startup fails. The jobs section looks as :

jenkins:
  systemMessage: "Welcome to Jenkins "
.
.
jobs:
  - script: >
      job('apps'){}
      job('infra-tools'){}

The error seen in docker logs is

Caused by: io.jenkins.plugins.casc.ConfiguratorException: jobs: error configuring 'jobs' with class io.jenkins.plugins.casc.support.jobdsl.SeedJobConfigurator configurator

However same script when run from DSL job manually ran fine.

ok so i found out the issue after debugging specially using this debugging line -> https://github.com/imalik-rms/configuration-as-code-plugin/blob/7aaa58cbc491018d9e23d63aad61af75c7647c26/support/src/main/java/io/jenkins/plugins/casc/support/jobdsl/SeedJobConfigurator.java#L67 that when you dont have a newline between any job definitions, it screams error

        job('imran') {

        }
        folder("testing") {

        }

is interpreted as

        job('imran') {

        }folder("testing") {

        }

so it gives Caused by: javaposse.jobdsl.dsl.DslScriptException: (script, line 1) No signature of method: javaposse.jobdsl.dsl.jobs.FreeStyleJob.folder() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, script$_run_closure2) values: [testing, script$_run_closure2@28f04c72] error. however , the following runs fine since it got newline between jobs/folders DSL definition

        job('imran') {

        }


        folder("testing") {

        }
