Re: Jenkins failed to record SCM polling

[hezjing]

This problem is fixed in Jenkins 1.491 (issue
JENKINS-15733
).

My Mercurial is polling correctly now!

Thank you!

Copying/Cloning Jobs Maintaining the Building Order (Dependency)

[Francisco Díaz Trepat]

Hi Guys, a colleague of mine is working on automation of release and 
jenkins job reordering in general.

We have a repo.git that contains a number of projects we build in jenkins, 
we want to automate the release process by using the jenkins api and clone 
all the _develop jobs to _release jobs.

So far so good, the problem is how can we obtain the BUILD ORDER.

proj-3_develop
proj-1_develop
proj-2_develop

How can we know which one needs to build first, we were thinking parsing 
maven dependency tree but seems a hustle.

Can this be done with jenkis api?

Re: Jenkins + GIT ls-remote error

[Casper]

Works now, thanks to Mark pointing out the memory error.

Jenkins needs some more RAM to use external software like GIT.

SCM Polling fails: Cannot run program "cleartool"

 Since a few days the clear case polling does not work anymore (I'm not 100%

 Therfore I've upgraded from Jenkins 1.477 to 1.491, but in the new version it 
doesn't work either. I'm using Jenkins ClearCase Plug-in 1.3.11.
 The operating system of the clearcase is IBM AIX Unix.
 In .bashrc, .profile and .bash_profile the PATH variable is extended by the 
path to cleartoo (export PATH=$PATH:/usr/atria/bin).

 Triggering a manual update via "Build now" works fine. The problem is just the 
polling.

 Does anybody have an idea?

 Thanks a lot in advance,

 Natalie

How does Jenkins know tests history

[Yaron Naveh]

When a test fails Jenkins writes something like "Failing for the past 4 
build (Since #12)". How does Jenkins know the test history - is it by 
string matching the class/test name to previous results? If so and the 
class name changes does it mean that all history context for its tests is 
also lost?

Build flow plugin: fails build if there are unstable builds

[Egle]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a following flow if builds:
build( "A" )
build( "B" )
build( "C" )

Now I get "FATAL: null" error and stack trace in console if build B is 
unstable. So the flow does not execute job C. Is there a way to configure a 
flow that it would only terminate if the performed builds are failing and 
not becoming unstable?

Thanks,

404 on using --prefix

[Straaten, Onno van der]

Hi,
I'm deploying latest release of Jenkins on Windows 2008 server. Now I want to 
run jenkins in web context /jenkins so I in my jenkins.xml I added a prefix.
For example  -Xrs -Xmx256m 
-Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -jar 
"%BASE%\jenkins.war" --httpPort=8282 --ajp13Port=8283 
--prefix=/jenkins

I also tried prefix=jenkins, so without the slash. Both produce same results. 
There is a 404 on all paths, the old one and the new one.

Is it possible to run Jenkins under different web context? For example 
http://myserver.com:8282/jenkins instead of 
http://cwvutl06.resultinfra.com:8282 ?

How can this be achieved?
Thanks and Regards,
Onno

Changes since last success in Email Extension Plugin

[Dirk Kuypers]

Hi,

I have a compile job that runs continuously triggered by SCM which starts
about 40 or 50 test jobs after successful compilation.
I am printing the changes since last success (coming from the upstream
compile job) of a test job which is run after a compile job like this:
${CHANGES_SINCE_LAST_SUCCESS, showPaths=true, pathformat="%p"}

This has worked until I began to allow the compile job to run concurrently
because the feedback cycle was getting too long recently with compile times
of 6 minutes and test times up to more than 20 minutes and changes of more
than one developer getting mixed up into one build. Now it can happen that
I have several compiles before a special test is running again. Looking at
the build of the test Jenkins handles this correctly because it says:

No changes from last build. Changes in dependency

   1. JobContinuous [image: Success]#9601 → [image: Success]#9605 (detail)


Clicking on details I get all changes summarized for those 5 builds.

The email only prints nothing. If there is a 1 to 1 relation between
compile and test, emailing the changes works.

Is this a bug/feature request? Am I doing something wrong there?

BR
Dirk

Re: Jenkins + GIT ls-remote error

[Mark Waite]

That seems to indicate that the Jenkins user can't read the 
/home/casper/git/4xS/.git directory.

Since you've confirmed that the Jenkins user can run the git command, could you 
also confirm that the Jenkins user can successfully run the command:

 /usr/bin/git ls-remote -h file:///home/casper/git/4xS/.git HEAD

Re: Cannot remove old users

[clem]

Hey Phil,

the Jenkins Userdatabase is just a folder in your JENKINS_HOME Directory.
"Users" is where you find all your "Members". Maybe, just remove the folder 
from one of your
users, who is getting the Error Message, "Username is already taken". Now 
he should be able to
register again.

I also tried to "delete a user" in the Jenkins "User Page".
After "You really want to delete..." the user was not shown on the User 
Page.
So, just check, if there is a Folder at the JENKINS_HOME users Directory.

Re: Retrieve server configuration via http

[clem]

Hi,

if you want to use the Information from the config.xml file
for a Plugin, maybe "XMLHttpRequest" is what you are looking for.

In this case, you can get the config.xml file and all Information you
want to work with.

Or in which case you want to use the server Configuration Information ?

Hi,

im not totally sure what you mean with "side effects" and where you want
to copy your jobs and workspaces ?
If you are creating a plugin, you have to watch out for the Filepath. 
(Using / or \)

Or you just want to copy your folders ?

Jenkins + GIT ls-remote error

[Casper]

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to install Jenkins with the GIT plugin, but somehow the 
GIT plugin doesn't seem to work for me.

I'm running Debian 5, with Jenkins as a service through apt-get. Jenkins 
itself works just fine. I installed the GIT plugin through Jenkins, but it 
does not seem to be able to use GIT properly.

Whenever I insert a GIT repository in a Jenkins project, regardless whether 
it's local or remote through the ssh protocol, it always gives me this 
error:
Failed to connect to repository : Error performing command: /usr/bin/git 
ls-remote -h file:///home/casper/git/4xS/.git HEAD

i have the latest version of GIT installed, and tested through sudo su 
jenkins whether GIT was accessible as Jenkins, which it is. As you can see 
I defined the absolute path to my GIT binary in the config as well, it 
still won't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Casper
