Jenkins pipeline java.io.NotSerializableException java.util.regex.Matcher error even with @NonCPS
<p>I am using <code>@NonCPS</code> in front of my <code>Jenkinsfile</code> function which performs a regex match and i'm still getting <code>java.io.NotSerializableException java.util.regex.Matcher</code> error even with the <code>@NonCPS</code> annotation.</p>

<p>Note, it calls the function many times and the exception only occurs once a match is actually made.</p>

<p>Here is my code:</p>

<pre class="lang-groovy prettyprint-override"><code>@NonCPS
def extractEndTime(logLine) {
    def MY_REGEX = /.*(20[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}).([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}).*\"\w+\"\sthe text\s(\w+)\./
    m = (logLine =~ TEST_LOGLINE_END_REGEX)
    if (m.count) {
        return [m[1],m[2],m[3]]
    } else {
        return null
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>The output when doing a jenkins build:</p>
