[JIRA] (JENKINS-15199) Slaves turns to "Dead" state after connecting to remote machine

[steven.ae...@gmail.com (JIRA)]

Steven Aerts commented on JENKINS-15199 Slaves turns to "Dead" state after connecting to remote machine I have found a reproduction scenario for this bug. Define a matrix job which runs a few jobs (which takes some time) on a specific node Run this job, which will spawn a few matrix jobs Do a safeRestart of jenkins, this will persist some of the matrix jobs which are still waiting in the queue When jenkins comes up now, it will try to start a matrix job from the persisted queue, and this will fail with the above NPE exception. A quick workaround is removing/deleting the matrix jobs from the queue after jenkins is restarted. This allows you to restart the dead clients again.
