Re: Argument for removing old jobs

[Sami Tikka]

The old jobs take up disk space. The job configuration itself does not take
much, but if there are any build artifacts, there might be a lot of disk
space consumed by these jobs. Remember, Jenkins only deletes old build
artifacts when a new build has been run. If there are no new builds =>
nothing gets deleted.

The more jobs Jenkins has, the slower it is. Usually this is not a big
problem but if there are a lot of unnecessary jobs, your Jenkins will be
slower (and takes more RAM) than it needs.

The most important argument for deleting unnecessary jobs to me, however,
is clarity: If there are lots of jobs, it is more difficult to navigate and
find the job you are looking for. Good naming conventions and using Jenkins
views can help here but I have never had success getting people to follow
naming conventions...

Also, there might be maintenance overhead involved: For example, couple of
years ago my employer switched from Github Enterprise to Stash and I had to
go through a lot of jobs to reconfigure them. If you had old, obsolete
jobs, why would you reconfigure them? And if you didn't, they would not
work if anyone tried to run them. And what is the point of keeping jobs in
Jenkins that cannot be run? Jenkins is a job runner. Nothing else.

Re: How to "link" a particular job with the promotion process without physically copying the artifacts

[Sami Tikka]

The easiest way is to copy one of the artifacts. I usually have an artifact 
which is a small file containing the output of "git describe". Because the file 
is small, it is quick to copy and fingerprint and can be used to link builds.

Re: Force configuration in matrix build to be the last step

[Sami Tikka]

You cannot control the order in which matrix job builds its configurations.

You need to remove the configuration you want to run last and make a new 
non-matrix job. Then make the matrix job trigger a build of the non-matrix job.

If this is not good for you, please explain what you are trying to do and maybe 
we can suggest a better way to do it.

Re: Copy Artifact from slave to master (ssh plugin) seems to take forever

I had a similar problem. I believe it was caused by Jenkins being unable to

I solved it by upgrading Java to 1.7 in both master and slave.

Re: Workspaces and slave nodes

[Sami Tikka]

I myself have rarely considered this a problem. The workspace would anyway be 
overwritten by the next build, so it is better not to trust it's existence or 
contents.

If I need to debug a problem with a job, I either:

* Disable the job to prevent next build from overwriting the workspace or
* Configure the job to archive necessary debug logs and later access them via 
build artifacts.

If you really need to preserve the full workspace for your builds, you can of 
course tell Jenkins to archive every file in the workspace as build artifact or 
use https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Clone+Workspace+SCM+Plugin. 
This will be slow and might use a lot of disk space.

Re: Jenkins fail to run any commands related to Tortoise

[Sami Tikka]

Having only passing knowledge of Windows development, I may be completely off 
the mark but here's my guess:

Tortoise is a GUI tool. You may have installed Jenkins as a service and by 
default services or processes started by them are not allows to interact with 
the GUI session. Check 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/My+software+builds+on+my+computer+but+not+on+Jenkins

Re: Newbie question: How to configure Jenkins to use bash with rcfile?

[Sami Tikka]

If you want to know how Jenkins runs the shell, why not ask Jenkins?

Let's do it programmatically by creating a small job and running it.

Create the job by running this:

cat <<'EOF' | curl -v -X POST -H "content-type: text/xml" --data-binary @- 
"$JENKINS_URL/createItem?name=shellkind" >/dev/null


  
  
  false
  
  
  true
  false
  false
  false
  
  false
  

  echo $-
case "$-" in
*i*) echo Interactive ;;
*l*) echo Login ;;
esac

  
  
  

EOF

Then trigger the build:

curl -v "$JENKINS_URL/job/shellkind/build"

Then read the console output of the job:

curl "$JENKINS_URL/job/shellkind/lastSuccessfulBuild/consoleText"

For me, it prints:

+ echo ehxB
ehxB
+ case "$-" in
Finished: SUCCESS

Because $- did not include i or l, the bash Jenkins runs for me is neither 
interactive nor login shell.

Re: Newbie question: How to configure Jenkins to use bash with rcfile?

[Sami Tikka]

If you run "man bash" or check the bash man page online, you will see in the 
section "FILES" where the initialization files are and when they are read. Also 
check the section "INVOCATION" for more information.

Re: Looking for good Linux bash script examples

[Sami Tikka]

It never ceases to amaze me how people refuse to make use of the exit code of 
unix commands to write readable shell scripts.

So, instead of writing

> make my_target
> if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
>   ret=1
>   echo "Make has failed" >&2
> fi

You could make it simpler:

if ! make my_target; then
echo "Make has failed" >&2
fi

I usually keep the if command simple and write that as:

if make my_target; then
:
else
echo "Make has failed" >&2
fi

However, I do not usually go for such structures in Jenkins scripts. Jenkins 
runs the scripts with "/bin/sh -xe", which is a good choice: You see the steps 
executed and the first step that fails, aborts the script. Just like when you 
use make and Makefile, usually you want all the steps in your build step to 
succeed, or at least I do.

The few places that I do not care, I either wrap into set +e/set -e or append " 
|| true", if it was just a single command.

If you use the scripts also interactively, it is good to have code to clean up 
background processes. If the scripts are for Jenkins, you do not need to care. 
Jenkins will find the background processes and kill them.

Re: Jenkins empties folders sometimes?? - why

[Sami Tikka]

Yes, Jenkins does that sometimes. I think the idea is to make sure the 
workspace is kept clean and also to free up disk space by getting rid of 
sources on slaves that have not been used for a while. If this is a problem for 
you, take a look at property hudson.model.WorkspaceCleanupThread.disabled at

Re: SVN 1.4 and SVN 1.7.5

[Sami Tikka]

I haven't used subversion a lot but according to my understanding, it really is 
not a concern.

http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html says:

"Older clients and servers interoperate transparently with 1.7 servers and 
clients."

Or did you test it and found the compatibility was not working as advertised?

Maybe you could tell us a bit more why you need "2 different versions of SVN"?

Re: Jobs starting on slaves with no disk space

[Sami Tikka]

I have a couple of jobs also that screw up the slave so badly it has to be 
taken offline and fixed before it can be used again. I do it using the Groovy 
plugin and this system groovy script which runs in a build step:

import hudson.model.*
def thr = Thread.currentThread()
def build = thr?.executable
build.getBuiltOn().toComputer().setTemporarilyOffline(true)

The upside is it requires no authentication and does not require the slave to 
be able to connect to master. These slaves happen to run in an isolated network 
that blocks connections to the network where the master sits.

Re: copying build artifacts from triggering parent of a triggering job

[Sami Tikka]

You could pass a parameter to Middle, telling it where to copy artifacts. Child 
can then copy from Middle

Re: Guidance: setting up to build linux distribution

[Sami Tikka]

Jenkins will not build your linux distribution for you. But if you have a 
script that does it, Jenkins can run that script.

So it all depends on how your linux distribution is built, what tools does it 
use, how are those tools run and where and in what kind of environment are they 
run...

In general, I think a linux distribution is such a huge piece of software that 
you are anyway better off studying the distribution's build process and using 
it as is or only tweaking it as little as possible for your needs. Coming up 
with your own build process with Jenkins in mind would probably be a gargantuan 
effort.

You can probably still use Jenkins to run the build scripts, distribute the 
work and collect the results. But how exactly to do that depends heavily on the 
details of the distro's build process.

Re: ActiveDirectory plugin is unable to detect group membership of one particular user

[Sami Tikka]

It might be useful to glance over the plugin source code and check what kind of 
things the plugin logs with debug level. Then go to Manage Jenkins, System Logs 
and set up a new debug level logger for the active directory plugin. Maybe you 
will learn more this way.

And if the plugin does not log enough, you could fork the plugin and add more 
logging yourself.

Re: github plugin on Jenkins does not work for me, Windows Server 2012

[Sami Tikka]

Clone the job. Remove the git SCM configuration and build steps. Instead enter 
a single build step which runs the command: set (I believe that prints 
environment vars on windows). Then study the difference in the environment of 
Jenkins job and your own session where things work.

Re: Where to place test dependent files

[Sami Tikka]

This question isn't really about Jenkins and there is no correct answer. It's 
like you asked which editor should you use, Emacs or Vi. Wars have been fought 
for lesser things.

There is a school which thinks the source/version control system should contain 
only the source code i.e. the files containing some programming language.

Then there is another school which thinks you should version control your code, 
configuration files, documentation, tests, tools, even your compiler and 
libraries too.

I guess most people are somewhere in between. I myself once worked in a team 
which had everything, including the compiler in the version control and I was 
very happy with it because a) I knew I could build just about everywhere 
without having to spend a week setting up the environment and 2) I knew exactly 
what went into the build.

So if you ask me, I'd say check in your jslint4java into version control. But 
I'm sure someone else will tell you something different.

Re: Unable to add new node (Windows slave) after upgrade to 1.500

[Sami Tikka]

It might be related to 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/SECURITY/Jenkins+Security+Advisory+2013-01-04

People have been unable to start JNLP slaves after upgrading their Jenkins. 
I've understood it is still possible to do it. You'd have to use a browser 
authenticate and to download the slave-agent.jnlp from the JNLP slave's own 
page ($JENKINS_URL/computer/SLAVENAME).

Then you would start the slave agent from the command line and provide it with 
a file:// url to the locally saved slave-agent.jnlp file.

I haven't tested this personally, I was only told by a colleque who has to care 
about a couple of windows slaves he had to do this.

Re: Locked pack files on windows slave

[Sami Tikka]

I have found the git plugin keeps some sort of state about the built branches 
in the workspace.

If we configure the workspace to be deleted in the beginning or end of the 
build, there's no predicting which branch Jenkins is going to build next. (Of 
course, we could specify the branch in the job configuration but there are some 
jobs for which we really like it when Jenkins can build and test whatever 
branch someone should push.)

So I have used a workaround: Check the "Clean after checkout" box in git SCM 
Advanced settings. I think it works as well as cleaning the workspace. It might 
actually make thing slightly faster because Jenkins does not have to clone the 
workspace from scratch. If you have a good-sized git repo, even the cloning 
might take a couple of minutes.

Re: SCM polling after build failure question...

[Sami Tikka]

The Jenkins SVN plugin has some dependency on time. To achieve best results you 
should have both Jenkins and SVN server clocks synchronized using NTP or 
similar.

Re: git on jenkins

[Sami Tikka]

I suggest you change your job configuration like this:

1) Remove the all the SCM configuration.

2) As first build step, add a shell script step which executes:

env
ssh -v 10.100.100.96 hostname

Then trigger the job to run. Then click open the build and the console. Check 
the output.

Then run the same commands from the command line where you are able to log in. 
Compare results with the output from Jenkins.

Re: Jenkins 1.500 is totally running crazy, build totally weird chains...

[Sami Tikka]

Sorry, but ... Have you tried turning it off and on again? :)

And check the stdout and stderr of Jenkins. Is it printing exceptions and/or 
stacktraces? If so, put them into pastebin/gist and tell us. Also it might be 
helpful to see your config.xml files (and remember to remove any sensitive 
information from those before publishing).

Also, give us information just like you would if you were talking to an IT 
support person:

- What is the operating system on which you are running Jenkins?

- How did you install Jenkins? Used one of the platform-specific installers or 
rolled your own?

- Running inside a servlet container?

- Plugins and their versions?

- What did you do recently? Did you upgrade Jenkins? Or upgrade one or more 
plugins? Or upgrade something in the operating system?

- Pastebin/gist where Jenkins stdout+stderr can be found.

Re: Detect command failure?

[Sami Tikka]

If you do not need the cross-platform properties of ant build step, I would 
recommend using a shell build step. It is much more flexible and is well suited 
to running processes and checking their exit codes, as well as capturing and 
filtering their output in various ways.

Re: How to publish artifact to a SMB / CIFS share?

[Sami Tikka]

I myself would use (and have used) smbclient to copy artifacts after the build 
has produced them. It doesn't have to a post-build step.

But Mac OS no longer has smbclient, so I hope you're using Linux. I suppose 
Windows can just do "net use..."

I guess the developers themselves might not always keep good track of that.

Re: Detect command failure?

[Sami Tikka]

I'm guessing you are using ant to execute phpunit. 

Maybe you could tell ant to fail on error. Currently you have told ant to 
ignore the phpunit exit code.

Re: expect on Windows - quick question

[Sami Tikka]

You would get better help from Cygwin mailing list. 

I believe the problem is that after you start the Cygwin bash, you must stop 
using windows-style pathnames. I.e. you must use /cygdrive/c/install to run the 
installer.

Re: shell redirection

Since you chose not to share the console log, I'm only speculating, but I think 
you need to consider the possibility it is the python command that fails. Maybe 
it does not really fail, but anyway exits with nonzero code to indicate a 
problem in the pep8 analysis?

Yes, if the master or slave breaks, you will always get a failed build. There 
is no way to prevent that in Jenkins. 

You could install the Naginator plugin to reschedule failed builds immediately. 
And talk to your manager to convince him it is not really an end of the 
world... :)

Re: Beta Build Environment

[Sami Tikka]

I have developed instructions on how to set up Jenkins from scratch if our 
Jenkins would catch fire and burn to the ground.

I have also used the instructions to set up a 2nd Jenkins to run a newer 
version of Jenkins before upgrading.

You need the jenkins.war, the plugins, the global config.xml and config.xml 
files for every job. If you want to try your hand at automating, remember that 
the Jenkins cli can be used to upload plugins and job configurations.

Re: "don't keep this build forever" button does nothing

[Sami Tikka]

Jenkins only deletes builds when it runs the job. If you need the disk space 
vacated immediately, you can script it like described here:

Well, everything is more difficult on Windows.

I do not use Windows but I work in an organization where people have to do

I think your issues might be caused by the "git" command not being a .exe but a

Re: jenkins clustering

There is no such way. If this is critical to you, maybe you could check if you 
can turn your builds into "external jobs" like described in

Re: Jenkins/Slave connection via TelNet

[Sami Tikka]

Which Jenkins version are you using? Recent Jenkins versions allowed 
unauthenticated access to the slave-agent.jnlp URL, which makes starting JNLP 
slaves a bit more difficult.

I'm pretty sure the slave startup does not use -auth option to provide a 
username and password. Where did you pick that up?

You can use a browser to authenticate and download the slave-agent.jnlp and 
save file on the slave local disk. Then start the slave and profile a 
file://localhost/path/to/slave-agent.jnlp as URL on the slave command line.

Re: git: Can I change a barnach in 'Branches to build' in configuration after building a project in a specific branch

[Sami Tikka]

Yes, you can change the branch specification later.

I myself always like to explicitly specify the branch instead of leaving it 
blank. I really don't know what the git plugin does when you leave it blank. Is 
there a reason why you cannot specify the name of the branch in the job 
configuration?

And do not care about the (no branch) in the Jenkins workspace. The git plugin 
does not clone or checkout the same way you normally do. That's the reason why 
the workspace looks like it isn't on any branch, but that's just an illusion.

Re: Which branch is build if there are multiple branches in a job and job has been configured for all jobs?

[Sami Tikka]

I guess you are using git as your version control system and your question is 
specific to the way the Jenkins git plugin works. It really would make 
answering these questions a bit easier if people would tell a little bit what 
kind of setup they have...

If the git plugin has been configured to follow all branches, it wants to build 
every branch at least once. After it has done that, it will only build the 
branches that get new commits.

If you have a lot of branches which have not been built, remove all branches 
you do not need anymore. You can also cancel the builds of branches you don't 
need. Jenkins git plugin consider a branch built when it has started building a 
branch. It does not matter if you cancel the build in mid-flight.

Re: How to lauch tomcat6 into /etc/init.d

[Sami Tikka]

It is not a good idea to run Jenkins as root. Unless you know what you are 
doing. And even then it is not a good idea.

And if you do not know how to do it, you definitely should not be doing it.

Maybe instead you could explain what you are trying to do and why do you think 
you need Jenkins to have root privileges? I'm sure there are better ways to do 
what you need to do without running Jenkins as root.

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/ is the Jenkins bug database.

If this is really a big problem for you and you are willing to pay to get it 
fixed, I'm sure there are people who can help you. There's also 
http://www.cloudbees.com/jenkins-enterprise-by-cloudbees-overview.cb

There are some things you can do to cope with the problem:

* Add more disk space to the slaves or

* Limit the number of executors on the slaves (and maybe add more slaves) or

* Make sure the jobs clean up after the build is done (maybe use PostBuildStep 
plugin to execute a clean up script as the last operation or use Delete 
workspace plugin) or

* Turn off flyweight tasks. This makes the matrix parent build consume a real 
executor which limits the number of parent builds a single slave is forced to 
deal with. See 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Features+controlled+by+system+properties
 or

* Use https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Exclude+flyweight+tasks 
plugin to exclude flyweight tasks (= matrix parent builds) from slaves that 
cannot take the hit.

Or maybe use a combination of some of the above.

Did you upgrade or downgrade Jenkins? Has it restarted? What is in the log

your Jenkins configured to require login allowing changes?

Re: Execute shell failure

[Sami Tikka]

The usual way to use Jenkins is for the developer to commit his changes to a 
version control repository, which Jenkins will monitor and when it sees a new 
commit, Jenkins will check out a copy of the sources under the Jenkins work dir 
and then execute some commands, typically to build and test the software. 

I'm not entirely sure what you would hope to accomplish by having Jenkins mess 
about in the same directory you are working in. 

Anyway, if you wish to avoid the permission issue when Jenkins is running as 
another user, may I suggest you try https://github.com/stisti/jenkins-app 
instead. Jenkins-app will run Jenkins under your account.

Re: Will reducing the Max # of builds to keep automatically delete old builds?

[Sami Tikka]

Disk usage plugin recalculates disk space usage based on a very, very lazy 
schedule. It is actually somewhat disk-intensive, so it is nice it doesn't run 
continuously.

Another way to save on disk space is to find the spot in job configuration 
where you configure the archived artifacts. Under it is a button titled 
Advanced. Click on that. More options will appear. Among them is an option to 
always delete old artifacts and only keep the latest. The job will still keep 
all the test results and other statistical history, only the artifacts are 
nuked (except the last).

I use this option on one of my jobs that produces 1 GB of artifacts for every 
build.

Of course it won't help if you need to keep more artifacts.. You can write 
a script that deletes the artifacts you do not need from the disk. Jenkins 
won't mind if they disappear.

You can also use ant or python or perl build step because they are

Re: jenkins Unable to find build script at C:/

[Sami Tikka]

Jenkins has a built-in limitation: It must check out your source tree to local 
disk before it is able to access files in version control server.

Go to job configuration. Then, under "Source Code Management", choose 
Subversion.

In the Repository URL type 
https://svn.qsu-dev.com/svn/moveon4-javabrowsertests/trunk/moveon4tests1

Provide a way to authenticate Jenkins to your Subversion server, if Jenkins 
prompts you to do it.

Did you know that usually URLs have two slashes in the beginning? 
"https://SERVERNAME"; vs. "https:/SERVERNAME". Some software might be picky and 
not work correctly if you omit the 2nd slash.

Re: Mac OSX slave timeouts

[Sami Tikka]

The 3.5 sec clock drift is not yet alarming but it does cause me to raise an 
eyebrow. You are not synchronizing clocks between your Jenkins master, slave 
and SCM server?

Try to get the clocks in sync. Install ntp daemon where it is missing and 
configure them to sync to your organization's ntp server or pool.ntp.org.

If that does not help, go to http://YOURJENKINS/threadDump, save it to 
pastebin/gits and ask someone on the list to take a look.

Re: Multi-project pushes to Bitbucket not triggering all relevant Jenkins jobs

[Sami Tikka]

Neither Jenkins or Git really support having multiple projects in one Git 
repository (at least not yet). The difficulties you are experiencing are a 
result of that. 

I always thought you have to specify polling schedule if you check the polling 
box... but you can make the polling cycle very long, e.g. once a week.

Re: Build help!

[Sami Tikka]

Have you read 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+as+a+Windows+service
 ?

I assume you used the native windows package to install Jenkins. I think you 
can follow the advice at the end of the page or if that is too difficult, then 
use the method described at the beginning of the page.

Re: Mac OSX slave timeouts

[Sami Tikka]

Just to rule out the obvious culprits:

- The Mac hardware is in good general health?

- There is plenty of free memory? The system is not swapping?

- There isn't some process running and taking a lot of cpu? Spotlight indexing, 
Time Machine backup, some anti-virus real-time scanner?

Even though Macs are great machines, even they can get messed up and become 
slow.

Re: Combining coverage reports

[Sami Tikka]

In the matrix job, archive the reports as build artifacts.

Then make another, simple freestyle job that gets triggered when the matrix job 
completes. This job will use Copy Artifact build step to download the 
artifacts. Click on the help buttons (the question marks) of the Copy Artifacts 
step. I'm pretty sure the help includes instructions how to pick up all 
artifacts from a matrix job.

I have a Jenkins that doesn't work. It runs on Debian 6 using the Sun6

This problem occurs only on builds that execute on slaves. Builds that

run but hangs forever when it starts archiving artifacts.

Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Git plugin trigger of downstream is not building same branch

[Sami Tikka]

I think the git plugin sets GIT_BRANCH environment variable, so you could e.g. 
write it to a .properties file and use parameterized trigger to pass it to 
another build.

Re: Git plugin trigger of downstream is not building same branch

[Sami Tikka]

I think it depends on how you have configured the two jobs. Jenkins does not 
carry any sort of hidden message about git branch from build to another build.

Maybe you could share the job configurations with the list? Could you put them 
up on pastebin or gist for us to see? You can get the job configuration by 
downloading $JENKINS_URL/job/JOBNAME/config.xml

Re: Git plugin trigger of downstream is not building same branch

[Sami Tikka]

Maybe something has changed? Someone upgraded some Jenkins plugin or installed 
a new one or changed something in the job configuration.

I happen to know if you install the Workspace Cleanup plugin and configure a 
job to use it, it deletes the workspace and that somehow causes git plugin to 
get confused about which changes it has already seen and often it starts 
building the wrong branch.

Re: Need help getting a sample scriptler groovy script to run on a slave.

[Sami Tikka]

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.

Re: Build Promotion and Copy Artifact: current build is overwritten

[Sami Tikka]

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.

Re: Confusion over build triggers

[Sami Tikka]

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. Enter 
project name B, choose "Trigger only if build succeeds".

If it doesn't, maybe you could be even more specific with your description?

Re: How to install slave to a machine which doesn't have a JVM?

[Sami Tikka]

Then you cannot run the slave on that machine. You just have to run the tests 
using some other method and copy the results back to a Jenkins job workspace.

Re: Build with for loop like finesse

So assign the jobs to run on a slave with only 1 executor. I guarantee only one 
at a time will run.

Re: Return value of a command in shell script != 0 stops build

[Sami Tikka]

If you begin the build step with a line that starts with #!, Jenkins will 
assume you want to specify the interpreter instead of using /bin/sh -xe, which 
is the default. It is the -e switch of the shell which is responsible for 
aborting the script when a command exits with error. 

You could place "#!/bin/sh -x" on the first line (without the quotes). But 
remember to watch for errors yourself, then.

Re: Build with for loop like finesse

[Sami Tikka]

All the builds will enter the queue at the same time, but how many will 
actually run in parallel depends on how many executors you have or if you have 
used other means of concurrency control like Throttle Concurrent Builds plugin.

Use a multi-configuration project with one, two or more axes.

Re: While running UI tests on Jenkins slave, session gets disconnected.

[Sami Tikka]

With the limited details you provide all I can advice is: try not to close the 
slave agent or kill its network connection. 

If you want better advice, you need to provide more details. In general, the 
slave agent does not lose connection in the middle of builds.

Re: Issue getting RVM working

Is this a Jenkins issue at all? Does it work when you try it as Jenkins user 
with the same environment? Note, Jenkins might not have the same environment

set.

Re: Selenium crashes Chrome when running from Jenkins

[Sami Tikka]

Unless you have changed the configuration by hand, the native OS X package sets 
up Jenkins as a launch daemon. Launch daemons have no access to window server, 
thus they are unable to display windows, like chrome. 

You must run Jenkins as a launch agent or use
