Re: ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED when try to access job configuration pages

[Didier Durand]

Hi Jason,

I had this same problem with 1.458 on CentOS (due to the gzip page 
compression introduced then) 

see 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/jenkinsci-users/cobertura/jenkinsci-users/OJxWOXpSsMs/ReNTRVSFkFAJ

I upgraded this morning to 1.460 and the problem disappeared: you may also 
try the update.

Gzip compression of 1.458 in conflict with Cobertura plugin ?

[Didier Durand]

Hi everybody,

It seems that the gzip compression of pages introduced in 1.458 (see 
http://blog.cloudbees.com/2012/04/improvements-in-jenkins-you-dont-see.html) 
is in conflict with cobertura plugin: I can no longer access the nice 
graphical code coverage results produced by the Cobertura plugin since I 
upgraded.

My firefox says when I try to access the result page: *"Content Encoding 
Error - The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an 
invalid or unsupported form of compression."*
It does not say that for pages other jobs that are displayed perfectly.

Does anybody also experience that ?

Re: svn dilemna

[Didier Durand]

Hi Shanz,

We do also archive executable (jars) in jenkins for various reasons.

To avoid the out of synch issue that you mention, we create a  tagged (i.e 
named) backup of the sources via a "svn copy" in the subdir /tags of our 
svn.

Then, we check out the source from there, compile it and commit executable 
back: this way the issue that you mention doesn't show up.

PS: svn copy has 2 nice features: it is optimized (the files are not really 
copied, just backlinked to their souce) and the modification history is 
preserved for the copies.

Re: Simple newbie question on how Post-build actions work...

[Didier Durand]

Hi Richard,

Generally speaking, you should never check-in results of tools produced 
elsewhere for use on Jenkins. You should rather implement those tools on 
your Jenkins server, run them there to obtain the results that you need in 
further steps of your Jenkins jobs.

Trailing WInstone error message on job configure page

[Didier Durand]

Hello,

Since 1.456 (also in 1.457), I get the following error message from 
winstone in the Job configuration page for each job after current 
configuration is displayed

Status Code: nullException: 
Stacktrace: 

(none)


--
*Generated by Winstone Servlet Engine v0.9.10 at Wed Mar 28 08:00:18 CEST

Do I have a config issue specific to my machine or is it a new problem for 
those releases for which I should open a JIRA ticket ?

Re: Switch JDK between build steps

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

To my knowledge Jenkins launches a separate jvm for each step you configure 
in the "Build" section of your job configuration

So, I would try to alternate your build steps under Ant with shell build 
steps and use these shell steps to switch the jvm/jre as you want  (via for 
example. the linux "alternatives" command)

Re: Change svn check-out strategy for automatic/manuel build

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

I guess that you have to create 2 jobs:

   - daily: with trigger on each change and simple svn update
   - nightly: with time scheduling and and fresh svn checkout

That means that you'll have a separate workspace for each of those jobs

Re: Jenkins vs. Hudson

Re: Instable builds related to low memory

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

Did you try to try Java heap size via the "Java options" (advanced section) 
of the step config parameters using Xnx and Xms ?

That should solve your issue. [I dodn't think the size of physical real 
memory really matters for completion: even if you allocate more heap than 
physical memory, your server will paginate and extend duration but it 
should go to end with the right settings of Xmx / Xms.

I would also recommend you to install the Jenkins monitoring plugin based 
on Java Melody: very useful to follow memory comsumption

Re: Cannot build any jobs: "Pending - Waiting for next available executor"

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

You may want to relate the number of executors to the number of cores
on your jenkins server if it is more or less dedicated to Jenkins

Soon you will also realize that you need to define priorities to sort
out jobs in the queue: then this plugin gets useful:

Re: Maintain Jobs in SCM

[Didier Durand]

hi,

i would use the label in config to hold branch name asnd then do a
checkout including the label in the scm url via my own checkout in 1st
build step if the if the variable can't be set directly in jenkins.

Re: Jenkins dying regularly -- how to diagnose

Hi,

I would also suggest to use the Monitoring plugin to easily diagnose
memory issues in your jvm

Re: Maintain Jobs in SCM

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

You can insert env variables in your paths on Jenkins SCM section in
job configuration

So, what you can do to avoid recreating jobs for branches is to put a
variable for the path of the branch and set the value of the variable
just before lanching build step ot the job. [I use this technique to
be able to easily change at at once the URL root of the source code I
am building in my jobs]

Something that I didn't try is to use a matrix job to set this
variable successively to various values (all the possible branch
names) and then have Jenkins run them automatically but the odds are
good that it should work.

Hi Jess & Matt,

Thanks a lot for your quick answers !

I'll try the Exclusive Execution Plugin first as it is my exact use

Re: Handing off builds between Jenkins masters

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

I think this plugin can help 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Job+Import+Plugin
to list what's available on the other instance to be launched

I can also provide some Java code to do remote job launching with
authentication when needed. Just let me know

By combining the 2, you should be close to achieve what you want

Having a given job running absolutely alone on my jenkins: how ?

[Didier Durand]

Hello,

During night, I want to launch a jenkins job that makes all backups
for all the ressources (database, svn, etc) that all other jenkins
jobs use.

So, I have to make sure that this job is running absolutely alone.

I already have tenths of jobs configured and I don't want to change
something in their config because of this new backup job.

What is the best way to achieve that ?

My current plan:
   a) schedule the job at 02:00 am
   b) make the job reduce the number of executors to 1 for itself only
   c) query the queue and executors to wait that all other job finish
   d) run the backup activities
   e) restore the executors to their original number
   f) finish the backup job

Questions:
  1) what is the correct way (API) to reduce the executors
programmatically ?
  2) is there anything better than my plan ? (I studied Lock&Latch and
Throttle plugin but they don't seem appropriate for that purpose)

Thanks a lot in advance !

Re: OutOfMemory on test import

Hi,

Here it seems that you need only to increase memory parameters for
your testing job alone not Jenkins as whole: you do that in the "java
options" line of the build step config of your job: you say -Xms xxx -
Ymx yyy with appropriate values for X & Y.

Re: Facing problem of “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” in Jenkins

[Didier Durand]

This is for maven: so it will apply to your job after it starts
building (in a separate JVM launched by Jenkins for each Job)

In your case, it is the "master" JVM used by Jenkins core functions
that has the issue: it's definitely the Jenkins launch script that has
to be updated.

Can you tell us about your environnment: os, etc. so that we can
help ?

Re: Facing problem of “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” in Jenkins

Hi,

Did you try to increase the PermGen space in the launch shell script
of jenkins.

If you are like me on Ubuntu it's in /etc/default in file jenkins :
line JAVA_ARGS.

Hi Aaron,

jenkins code was recently changed to create "more" @ workspaces.
Maybe, too much

Yes, you've probably allowed parallel jo execution in the "Advanced"

Re: Port issue

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

When you say that "port 8080 gets down" does it mean that the jenkins
server is down: i.e do you find it  via ps -ef on linux console ?

Other question; is your jenkins running natively (suning embedded
Winstone) or within a container (tomcat or other)?

Re: Building a JAR File

[Didier Durand]

Agreed with David

Just reuse your usual tools in your jenkins script: for example, if
you use Ant, there is a very simple Ant task to build jar

Look it up at : http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/jar.html

Re: JMS trigger

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

If you go to the plugins page and check the Build Triggers section,
you'll see that many plugins have the same intent as yours: FileFound

So, you should definitely do it.

Btw, the plugins mentionned probably provide good source code

Re: Using svn export instead of svn checkout

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

please, keep cool .

The reason for checkout rather than export is to track and obtain
changes in your big files from subversion to your jenkins server but
only when they've effectively changed not each time you run the build
as you will incurr with export. But, it seems you won't hear that.

by the way, don't worry for the quality of my build server: it works
just perfect with the appropriate use of svn  ;-)

Re: Using svn export instead of svn checkout

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

Even if checkout was possible, I don't think that it is a good idea
from a perf standpoint: if you export a file, it gets out of svn
control and the changes cannot be tracked.

So, next time your run the job, you have to do a full export again
even if the file didn't change inbetween: can take a long time for a
big file.

So, as disk space is cheap, I would prefer several copies rather than
the network burden (and corresponding delay to start) of a big file

Re: non-recursively checkout out an svn tree

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

Is it possible for you to create a dir source/Makedir and move
Makefile into it ?
At least can you create Makedir and make a symlink to makefile into
it.

Then, you configure 2 checkout location in you jenkins job config: 1
for source/cpp and 1 for source/Makedir and you've reached your
objective.

Re: jenkins svn update

[Didier Durand]

Hi Fiona,

The place to increase memory is Job Configuration of your job > Build
> Invoke Ant > Advanced > Java Options

What I can suggest to see if the issue comes from your CI machine or
the SVN server: connect to the CI machine via ssh, run the checkout in
the terminal session via the native svn client using 'svn co etc.'
command and see if time differs much from what you get when Jenkins
itself does the checkout via the SvnKit java library.

What I can say is that checkout is long is you have lots of code: I
regurlarly work on a project with 10+ millions lines of code. It takes
4 minutes to check this project out (jenkins and svn hosted on same
very powerful machine from I/O standpoint: all disks are SSDs)

Re: Job dependencies

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

You could create a job C that is triggered by the same events as B

C will only do 1 thing: have A a downstream job and A will have B as
downstream job

So, when C triggers (based on the triggers that you have chosen) it
launches A. When A finishes, it launches B

That's 1 way: maybe will people come with smarter solutions

Re: jenkins svn update

Hi,

Maybe not enough memory for the JVM running the job to handle the svn
protocol efficiently

Try to increase the -Xmx -Xms on the Java Options of your job config.

I would be interested to read about your results with this proposal or
any other.

Re: Hiding job from unauthenticated users

Hi,

You should use the matrix-based security of jenkins: You can hide jobs
to unauthenticated users in the Jobs section of configuration

But, it hides all jobs at once. Do you need something more granular ?
(i.e per job)

Re: Unable to add build step to freestyle job

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

What browser do you use to access Jenkins: there are some knowns
issues with IE that does not handle properly some javascript in
Jenkins pages.

Try with Firefox and let us know.

Re: Block Build when downstream project is *queued*

Re: Upstream/Downsteam configuration

Hi,

Just go in the config of the upstream job and update the field Add
Build Step > Build other projects > projects to build then choose your
downstrean projects to launch  and decide when to build them (always,
only on success, etc.)

Re: Subversion does not show up under Source Code Management in the configure job page

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

Subversion plugin is part of the base install

There is an issue prior to 1.450 (see changelog) when you update the
pre-installed version of the svn plugin with the last version 1.37) of
the plugin.

So,  you should upgrade to 1.450 (or even better do a fresh start of
1.450 after deleting current $JENKINS_HOME dir and its content). Then,
no need to upgrade svn plugin.

That should fix your issue.

Re: Failed to define svn credenials

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

Did you try 1st to do a checkout out of Jenkins with a product like
TortoiseSVN on WIndows or RabbitVCS on Linux ?

This should help you to check if your svn url and credentials are
correct more easily then you can come back to Jenkins

Re: Source code metrics plugin ?

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

I personally use SLOCCOUNT: if you work in an environment with
multiple languages, it's particularly well suited to get measures in
such an heterogeneous environment.

Re: Jenkins running server out of memory

[Didier Durand]

Hi,

You should install the Monitoring plugin: 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Monitoring

it will get you lots of info about your jvm running jenkins: when you
have them, you can post back it here with the elements in hand (how
many threads, etc.)

It will then be much easier for people to help you.
