Re: Help Files - Custom Action
Hi Michael, Thanks for your help, just a note for future readers - the directory should not have a trailing s, i.e. src/main/webapp. I can see that this is uploaded to the server, and looks a lot better, from the root of Jenkins I now have: ./plugins/PluginName/help-comments.html However, it's still not working, my help attribute URL looks like this: /plugins/PluginName/help-comments.html Also, I've tried to retrieve it via URL, and it's giving me a 404 (not sure if it's meant to retrieve the file): http://jenkins:8080/plugins/PluginName/help-comments.html Any ideas?

Re: Alternate Update Center?
Hi Guys, I meet the same issue. Then how can I generate an update-center.json JSON file that can be interpreded by Jenkins. We do have several plugins which will be used only inner our group, we do not like to deliver them to jenkins group. As a solution, I think we should put the plugins somewhere, and update the update-center.json to point out these plugin, but jenkins always report a signature or digest error. So my question is can any people head me how to write an update-center.json file that can be interpeded by jenkins.

Re: Confusion over build triggers
I believe it's not even a plugin. One of the post build actions is to trigger another build when the other completes. In other words, you take off the SCM trigger off of B and tell A to fire off B when it completes. You can also do this the other way around too. One of the build triggers is to start a build when another one completes. So, B to be triggered when A completes. Another thing you can do is locks and latches (which is a plugin). Locks and Latches prevents one project from building when another one is running. For example, A uses a database for testing, and B uses the same database. If they both hit the database at the same time, the tests will fail. You can put A and B on the same Lock, so B won't start until A is finished and visa versa. Will either of those work for you? You can also try the Promotion plugin. This can promote a build when it passes certain tests. One of the things a promoted build can do is trigger another job. So, A could be promoted when it passes certain tests, and trigger B to start building.

Active Directory authentication error with 1.466.1 LTS
Hi I am running Jenkins 1.466.1 LTS with Active Directory authentication. The authentication has been working correctly, but today I noticed the following type of error in: Manage Jenkins Configure System Authorization Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy: Failed to test the validity of the user name myname (show details)http://hudsonmaster.uktm.eu.nec.com:8080/configure org.acegisecurity.BadCredentialsException: Failed to retrieve user information for myname; nested exception is javax.naming.NamingException: [LDAP: error code 1 - : LdapErr: DSID-0C090627, comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection., data 0, vece I clicked 'Test' underneath 'Active Directory' and it gave an error. I then downgraded the Active Directory plugin from 1.29 to 1.19. 'Test' now succeeds but the 'Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy' area still shows the above error against each user. Any ideas how to fix this please? Best regards David

As far as I understand, the standard triggering of other projects from post-build actions does what you want. Go into A's configuration: Add post-build action - Build other projects.

Re: Build Promotion and Copy Artifact: current build is overwritten
Another possibility is to copy the artifacts not to the build directory itself, but to a directory outside of Jenkins (which is pretty much what the Maven repository does for us). Well, I think what I am trying to achieve is simple: promote a build while another build is running on the same project. The artifact names are the same at each run, so the file names collide on the file system in the workspace during the promotion. Note that I clean up the workspace at the beginning of each new run of the job with rm -rf * because I want a clean slate when the job begins. Like you said, to solve the problem, I cannot copy the promoted build artifact into the current workspace, I need to copy it to an absolute path elsewhere. This is what I have done. It is an annoying workaround, I wish Jenkins promoted builds had their own workspace. BTW I am not using Jenkins for a Java flow, so Maven does not apply to my case (and nor does any open source flow for that matter). I am happy that bare bones Jenkins is development flow agnostic and I hope it stays this way. Cheers, Martin
Re: Build Promotion and Copy Artifact: current build is overwritten
Some things you need to understand about the promoted builds: The promotions are kind of like 2nd class citizens in the Jenkins job population: They are subservient to their parent job and they do not have their own workspace. This means that you should not do anything in the promotion actions that uses the workspace. Or if you do, you have the responsibility of synchronizing the workspace access with the promotion and the parent job. If your promotion actions need to use a workspace, it is often easier to just trigger a build of another job. This other job would be a normal job, which means it would have its own workspace and it would be safe to use it. -- Sami Martin d'Anjou martin.danjo...@gmail.com kirjoitti 16.8.2012 kello 17.45: Hi, When I promote an archived build while a build is running, the Copy Artifact plugin overwrites the running build artifacts with the archived ones.

Re: Need help getting a sample scriptler groovy script to run on a slave.
You're not being too forthcoming with what you want to accomplish, so this may not help you much: Like it says in the System Groovy Script build step, system Groovy script always executes on the master. The system Groovy actually executes inside of Jenkins, in the same vm, so system Groovy can do many of the same things as a plugin can. If you want to run a Groovy script on the slave, you need to use the Execute Groovy Script build step and then, if the job is set to execute on a slave, Jenkins will really spawn the Groovy process in the slave. -- Sami Damon G damon.gabrie...@gmail.com kirjoitti 16.8.2012 kello 15.22: Hi There, I've been playing with the groovy plugin and I'm able to run a few sample groovy scripts on the master using the system groovy script option in the job. However I can't seem to get the same code to execute on the slave by executing a groovy script or by using the scriptler plugin. Even a simple println statement doesn't work. For instance: import hudson.model.* prinln(hello!!!) results in: Execution of script [test.groovy] failed - Unable to serialize org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptler.util.GroovyScript@75f0ab39Build step 'Scriptler script' marked build as failure I get the same thing if I just do prinln(hello!!!) and leave out the import statement. I have groovy installed on the slave but I must be missing something. When I execute on the slave do I need something additional in my classpath? I didn't seem to need anything explicit in my classspath to run this as a system groovy script on the master. Does anyone have simple example config to share? I think I must be missing something fairly basic here. Thanks!
