<p>I'm trying to create a quicklab on GCP to implement CI/CD with Jenkins on GKE, I created a <strong>Multibranch Pipeline</strong>. When I push the modified script  to git, Jenkins kicks off a build and fails with the following error:</p>

<p>I got the same issue as well ... when running the quick lab.</p>

<p><a href="https://cloud.google.com/solutions/continuous-delivery-jenkins-kubernetes-engine" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://cloud.google.com/solutions/continuous-delivery-jenkins-kubernetes-engine</a></p>

<p>For my situation, I suspect for some reason, the credential for "Kubernetes Service account" seems not shown up, and when I try to add one, it give global credentials with name "secret-text" ... not sure if it is the root cause, do you encounter the same situation ?</p>

<p>p.s. I am running on my GKE cluster, not qwiklab.</p>
