I'm trying to switch from :pserver: to :ext: and use ssh for secure
checkouts. I've set up my keys and am connecting just fine with no password
to the cvs server as my Jenkins/cvs user (builder).
However, Jenkins is giving me the following error on checkout, though when
I paste the cvs command into a terminal as builder, the checkout completes
just fine.
Started by an SCM change
Building on master in workspace /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/foo-co-test
[foo-co-test] $ cvs -Q -z3 -d :ext:builderXXXXXXXXXXXX:/cvsrepo/bmi co -P -r
foo-branch -f configuration
XXXXXXXXXX: Connection refused
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
FATAL: CVS failed. exit code=1
(I've obscured our cvs server info in the above.)
in my Jenkins master Global Properties I have the envar CVS_RSH with the value
/usr/bin/ssh
but when I use groovyscript to display the envars, I don't see CVS_RSH
populated:
TERM=xterm-256color

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Result: {TERM=xterm-256color, SHELL=/bin/bash, SHLVL=3,
XFILESEARCHPATH=/usr/dt/app-defaults/%L/Dt, PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin,
USER=builder, PWD=/, HOME=/build/buildsystem, LOGNAME=builder, _=/usr/bin/java,

LANG=en_US.UTF-8}
any assistance would be appreciated. how do I force Jenkins to export the
CVS_RSH envar? I think that might be the problem, if groovyscript output is to
be believed.
