[JENKINS-66342] Dashboard View views can't be created via groovy scripts

[TobiX]

I am unable to use groovy scripts to create a view with Dashboard View.  Any reference to a property of a dashboard that isn't already a property of a view (like useCssStyle or leftPortlets) results in an error. For example, I would expect this groovy code to create a view in the folder (other plain listView blocks work in this folder):

folder(projectFolderName) {
	description(projectFolderName + ' Regression Jobs')
	views{
		dashboardView('Tests Dashboard') {
			description('Test result dashboard for ' + projectFolderName)
			recurse(true)
			jobs {
				regex('[\\w\\s]+\\/.*')
			}
			columns testDashboardColumns
			useCssStyle(true)
			leftPortletWidth('66%')
			rightPortletWidth('33%')
			leftPortlets() {
				hudsonStdJobsPortlet('Latest Test Results')
			}
			rightPortlets {
				unstableJobsPortlet
				{
					name('Tests with Failures')
					showOnlyFailedJobs(true)
					recurse(true)
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Instead, it results in this error:

Processing DSL script myJobs.groovy
ERROR: (myJobs.groovy, line 789) No signature of method: javaposse.jobdsl.dsl.views.DashboardView.useCssStyle() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Boolean) values: [true]
Finished: FAILURE

In the above example, if I omit useCssStyle, I just get similar errors on the next dashboard property. I have tried different arguments and styles of setting any of the properties to no avail.

Is this user error? Am I improperly trying to set up this view? Or is there something in Dashboard View that isn't configured in a way that will allow me to set them up this way?
