Jenkins / JENKINS-39670
Jenkins changes workspace layout on 2nd startup
Change By:
Daniel Beck
Used Jenkins version: 2.19.1, but I'm pretty sure this behavior is also present in older jenkins versionsSteps to reproduce:- Download the jenkins.war file- Make sure you have an empty/not existing ~/.jenkins (or whatever JENKINS_HOME directory is used)- From the directory where you downloaded the .war file, run `java -Djenkins.install.runSetupWizard=false -jar jenkins.war`- When Jenkins is started, go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System and click the "Advanced" button underneath the home directory setting at the top of the page- Observation: the workspace root directory is specified as`${JENKINS_HOME}/workspace/${ITEM_FULLNAME}`, as it is documented on https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Administering+Jenkins- Cancel the process- Restart Jenkins and again, go to the central configuration- Observation: the workspace root directory suddenly changed to `${ITEM_ROOTDIR}/workspace`This behavior is extremely odd and creates a lot of confusion and wastes people's time, as some Jenkins servers/jobs have the one layout, and some have the other layout, depending on when the jobs where created and whether Jenkins was re-started in between or not. Also I want to raise that the documentation is contradicting:- in the built-in documentation of the config option, it says `The default value is ${ITEM_ROOTDIR}/workspace.`- in the above mentioned wiki page it indicates that the default layout is `${JENKINS_HOME}/workspace/${ITEM_FULLNAME}`

Title: Message Title Daniel Beck commented on JENKINS-39670 Re: Jenkins changes workspace layout on 2nd startup It's a known issue in the code that changed the default years ago. IIRC the workaround is to save the system configuration via UI once before restarting a new instance for the first time.

Download the jenkins.war file
Make sure you have an empty/not existing ~/.jenkins (or whatever JENKINS_HOME directory is used)

When Jenkins is started, go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System and click the "Advanced" button underneath the home directory setting at the top of the page
Observation: the workspace root directory is specified as`$ {JENKINS_HOME}/workspace/${ITEM_FULLNAME}`, as it is documented on https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Administering+Jenkins - Cancel the process - Restart Jenkins and again, go to the central configuration - Observation: the workspace root directory suddenly changed to `${ITEM_ROOTDIR}/workspace` This behavior is extremely odd and creates a lot of confusion and wastes people's time, as some Jenkins servers/jobs have the one layout, and some have the other layout, depending on when the jobs where created and whether Jenkins was re-started in between or not.
