Multiple Jenkins possible ? - quick question

[Z W]

Hi

We have one Jenkins configured and it went down.
Our only Jenkins as 3 slaves.
We like to install another Jenkins acting as secondary master for the
3 slaves nodes in case the primary master Jenkins goes down.

Will this configuration work ?
Can multiple Jenkins work together ?
How do we configure secondary Jenkins such that when primary Jenkins
goes down, it takes over ?
How would the slaves know that the secondary Jenkins is in service and
not the primary Jenkins.

Thanks for your help

How do I known what properties and method exist when writing Groovy scripts?

[Martin d'Anjou]

Hi,

How do I find out the methods and properties of things when I write a 
Groovy script? For example, "Hudson.instance.getItem()", how am I 
supposed to know that "instance" is a property of Hudson, and that 
"getItem()" is a method of "instance"?


Where do you people find all this?

Another example: I searched for buildVariableResolver in the source code 
with find . -name "*.java" -exec grep -H buildVariableResolver {} \; and 
nothing comes out.


I read the javadocs for Jenkins and Hudson, but that does not seem to be 
enough.


Thanks,
Martin

CSS and Images Broken Post LTS 1.480.1 Update?

[bhill]

Hi,
I currently have an instance of Jenkins running the LTS 1.480.1.  I do have 
Jenkins managing the users who have access to the jobs.  After the update I 
noticed that logged out users have broken CSS.  Has anyone else had any 
issues with their CSS after the upgrade?  It is causing confusion among our 
engineers as the login links are white on white...

Is their a way I can fix the CSS on my end.  I don't want to do too much 
customization as I want to keep up with the LTS branch without worrying 
about breaking my customization.  I've noticed their is a plugin called the 
'Simple Theme Plugin' that may allow me to customize the CSS so they can 
see it, but again.  I want to keep it as out of the box as possible. 
 Please advise if this is something I can do or if this is a known issue. 
 I've searched around a bit, but have come up empty handed.  

Thank you,

P.S. Please see the attached image

Re: Build flow plugin: fails build if there are unstable builds

[bearrito]

Why don't you handle the result codes in your job? Meaning just intercept 
the result code and change it to 0 if the build is only unstable.
Yes, it is an ugly solution...

Re: Installing Jenkins on Windows Server 2012 Standard fails

[bearrito]

I would elevate the service that Jenkins is running under to a local admin. 
You can then reduce the amount of privileges by trial and error to the 
appropriate level for your organization.

This isn't a Windows 2012 issue as it occurs on 2008.

Re: Cannot remove old users

[pzimmer]

Hi Clemens,

Thanks for the reply.

I may not have been clear enough in my original post. The users that are 
having the issues do not have a directory in the JENKINS_HOME/users 
directory. That is why I decided to email the list, as I see no other 
locations that have user info in them.

Try again. Kohsuke fixed the release. It failed due to the introduction of

Re: hg pull has no effect

[Harpreet singh Wadhwa]

@HEAD should not force the plugin to crash.

Can you please ensure that there was no space in between the URL and @HEAD.
Syntax: @HEAD

If the error still exists then can you please paste the error logs here.

Thanks

Re: Installing Jenkins on Windows Server 2012 Standard fails

[Dirk Kuypers]

Hi,

you could also try this:



  

  


as
jenkins-slave.exe.config
or
jenkins.exe.config

if you are behind a proxy that does not let you contact external servers to
verify program signatures.

Check for the cause in jenkins.err.log in the directory where jenkins.war 
is located.

Actually the Mercurial system was behind the Jenkins server by ~3 seconds. 
Now both are running ntpd anyway, but the problem still persists. Note that 
I'm using the default quiet period of 5 seconds, so the Mercurial server 
actually has some time to catch up anyway

I've tried to append @HEAD to the hg repo but that only made the mercurial 
plugin crash.

For now my ugly workaround is to insert a "hg pull -u" as the first command 
to run as a build step, at least it is getting new changesets

Re: View Level Access-Need Help !!

[Clemens]

In this case,

maybe have a look at this Plugin:
View Job Filters
*(This plugin provides a number of filters that you can "chain" 
togetherto
 
provide a much easier way to create views to organize hundreds of jobs.)*

There is a "Name matching option".
I did not read the full information Text, but this could be a help.

Greetings

Re: View Level Access-Need Help !!

[japinder gill]

yes i tried using Project-based Matrix auth. but the problem is i need to 
go to each and every job and grant the access to users. is there a way 
where i can control access of owhole view in one go?
eg, if TOM works on project ABC. so i will create view with name ABC and 
want TOM to see only jobs which are under project ABC.


OR will it be possible to give access to all the job which are on 
particular slave?
  and, TOM should be able to see all jobs which are on slave ABC

Re: Installing Jenkins on Windows Server 2012 Standard fails

I dont know if you have tried to start your Service with your command line 
? 
Do you ?
Enter your cmd (with Admin) and try : "net start Jenkins"
Maybe he will get it this way.

Re: Broken link for 1.492 on http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/

[Adam PAPAI]

Yes but it's in the debian repo index, and the 1.491 was overwritten by 
the 1.492, so it's not possible to use it  from the jenkins repo.


So the fix is:

- remove 1.492 from the repo index
- add 1.492 to the repo

Re: View Level Access-Need Help !!

[Clemens]

Hi,

one possibility would be, to use Jenkins "Project-based Matrix 
Authorization Strategy"
 - (@ Enable Security - Manage Jenkins Page)
Have you tried this ?

So, you can assign in the Projects which user has access to which Views.
(If i got your question correctly)

But, this also includes, that you have to configure all Projects, and edit 
every Project.

Re: Pass env variables to junit test from jenkins

Hey,

have you tried to split it, like this:

So, you are not assigning your variable in your export line.
But, not sure about it.

Re: Builds of new configuration in a matrix build are lost after some time.

[B.Latinville]

Hi, 

In my setup, the master does not execute the jobs.
I have slaves with label corresponding to the OS, and other labels (for 
example, some related to tools that are installed). Also a "build" and 
"test" label.

Here is the matrix job configuration, 2 axis : 
- one "user defined axis", with several values, were a new value was added  
and caused problems.
- one "slave axis", using labels. Only the "build" label is used.
It is displayed as a one axis matrix as there only one choice for the 
second axis.

Several slave have the label "build". So the child job will run in parallel 
on several nodes. On child job will
not always execute on the same machine.

Some days ago, I faced the same issue on  a "user defined axis" matrix job 
where I just added the build label axis, 
The job has two configuration that are slave specific. On child job will 
always execute on the same node.

The issue is not only when adding some values to a user defined axis. At 
some point, Jenkins wrongly uses the old job configuration.

The good thing is that the missing build that had disappeared few hours 
after the build is back. I can everything in Jenkins.
Some new builds have been performed with the new user defined axis label, 
and they are all visible.
That means nothing is lost.
