Issue/Introduction
We are getting the following error when using the Jenkins plugin to build the pipeline.
com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 8 path $
at com.google.gson.stream.JsonReader.syntaxError(JsonReader.java:1568)
at com.google.gson.stream.JsonReader.checkLenient(JsonReader.java:1409)

at com.google.gson.stream.JsonReader.peek(JsonReader.java:425)
at com.google.gson.JsonParser.parse(JsonParser.java:60)
Caused: com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException
...
The response seems a valid JSON response, but we still get this exception.

Resolution
Upgrade the ca-service-virtualization.hpi plugin to Jenkins.
More information can be found in the link below:
CA Service Virtualization and Jenkins making Continuous Integration and Testing Better Together
In Jenkins, go to “manage Jenkins -> manage plugins -> Advanced” and upload plugin, the existing one will be updated.
After the plugin was upgraded, we started getting the error message:

Finished: FAILURE
When running a test from Postman we were getting the same exceptions when trying with different users.
There is a patch available for this issue described in the link below:
lisa-virtualize-invoke API URL gives authorization error when using LDAP credentials
The fix delivered with DE357218 was applied in the Registry server under $DEVTEST_HOME/lib/patches and we were able to run the test and get valid responses this time.
