[JIRA] [scm-sync-configuration] (JENKINS-15128) Renaming job doesn't work with Git

Fri, 10 Jan 2014 02:14:03 -0800

Hi,

Workaround for job renames is :

  • Stop Jenkins
  • Manually `git mv` directories in the checkoutConfiguration/ directory, commit change, then push the commit to your repository
  • Restart Jenkins

In last resort, you can switch in the global config page : Git SCM => No SCM + save => Git SCM + save
This will result in :

  • Resetting checkoutConfiguration/ content (changing scm resets the directory)
  • Performing a new "initial sync" with the repository, that is to say :
    • Clone repo into checkoutConfiguration
    • Add folders located into your JENKINS_HOME/ and not present into checkoutConfiguration/ to the repo

Initial sync has a drawback : if you have checkoutConfiguration/foo and JENKINS_HOME/foo doesn't exist, foo won't be removed from your repository (I prefer not to remove such files due to "reload files from repo" feature)
