version X.YY or later of plugin '______' needs to be installed

Just upgrading org.jenkins-ci.plugins:cloudbees-folder from 6.1.2 to 6.11.1 is giving the error: version 5.14 or later of plugin 'cloudbees-folder' needs to be installed

This also happening with org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-multibranch:2.21

Happens when running ./gradlew clean jobDslTest

./build.gradle:

plugins {
  id 'com.aoe.jenkins-job-dsl' version '2.8.0'
}

repositories {
  mavenLocal()
}

dependencies {
  //jenkinsPlugin 'org.jenkins-ci.plugins:cloudbees-folder:6.1.2'  // This works
  jenkinsPlugin 'org.jenkins-ci.plugins:cloudbees-folder:6.11.1'  // This fails
}

jobDsl {
  sourceDir 'src/jobs'
}

./src/jobs/dsl.groovy:

folder("hamsdi")
listView("hamsdi/bamsdi") {
  jobs {
    regex(".*tests.*")
  }
  columns {
    status()
  }
}

Error from build/reports/tests/jobDslTest/classes/com.aoe.gradle.jenkinsjobdsl.JobScriptsSpec.html:

Just hit this myself.. any updates on your end @pedrohdz

Sooo I poked around, using different versions for the cloudbees-folder plugin. Then at 6.7 I saw the following error..

 0.976 [id=61]    SEVERE  jenkins.InitReactorRunner$1#onTaskFailed: Failed Loading plugin Folders Plugin v6.7 (cloudbees-folder)
    java.io.IOException: Folders Plugin v6.7 failed to load.
     - You must update Jenkins from v2.121 to v2.130 or later to run this plugin.

I then checked my jenkin server's version and it was 2.190.2, so substituting these version with gradle dependencySubstitution

It worked!

TL;DR - Workaround

Bump the jenkins-war version to a appropriate version. via dependency substitution.

build.gradle

configurations.all {
  resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
    substitute module("org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-war:2.121") because "Version we use" with module("org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-war:2.190.2")
    substitute module("org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-war:2.190.2")
  }
}

All version of the jenkins-war can be found
