This has been fixed in the latest plugin version, therefore, users encountering this error should proceed with the following steps:

  1. Retrieve the updated artifactCleanup.groovy plugin content and populate the existing groovy file with the new content, overriding the file’s existing content.
  2. Reload the plugin using the Reload Plugins REST API call. 

Upon a successful reload, the following entries should be logged in the artifactory-service.log:2023-02-22T13:44:49.331Z [jfrt ] [INFO ] [44666eb1faf7af89] [o.a.a.p.PluginsAddonImpl:122  ] [http-nio-8081-exec-7] - Reloading plugins
