Re: Re: Templates Plugin (Jenkins Enterprise)

[Walter Kacynski]

I use the Enterprise Templates extensively.  They are very powerful but 
difficult to debug at times.  I run a second "Test" master that I use to 
stage template changes to make sure that everything goes as planned before 
issuing updates to my production jobs.  The great thing about these is that 
you can dynamically change the logic of a build job by inventing your own 
job attributes.

Re: [Rebuild plugin] Request for feedback about current behaviour for build cause

[Walter Kacynski]

I think that this is a problem with the rebuild plugin.  It should be 
adding a UserCause to the chain.  However, this would technically change 
the build if that build was relying on the state of how the build was 
triggered.  Maybe rebuild could annotate the SCM badge with a special note 
if BTB has also been installed.

New message with 1.565.11.1

[Walter Kacynski]

I just updated to LTS 1.565.3 and now my master reports the following 
message every-time that a job is executed:

24782 Nov 11, 2014 1:24:18 PM jenkins.model.lazy.LazyBuildMixIn removeRun

This seems to be related to rolling off the last job as part of the purge 
criteria.

 Does anyone know what this means?

Re: HP Automation Automation Tool plugin TDConnectivity issue on Jenkins

   - Disable UAC on the computer
   - Make sure that you install with the url

   - Secondly, I need to run the attached VBscript to launch IE before 
   every test that is run.

I was experiencing the same issue.  I attribute this to the fact that the 
stable update feed had not been updated to reflect 1.532.1 was available.

Re: Parameterized Build, how to pass a JVM argument using Jenkins?

[Walter Kacynski]

The only way that I can think of doing this would be to update your build 
scripts to look for these environment variables so that they are passed 
into the JVM.  Otherwise, you would have to call the java program from a 
second build step outside of your ANT script.

Re: Upgrade from 1.472 to 1.541 failing

[Walter Kacynski]

1.) All builds are cumulative so you just need to pick the version that you 
want to run.

Please share the error message that you are seeing.  Also, did you try 
searching http://issues.jenkins-ci.org for your error message?

Credentials Plugin and Environment Variables

[Walter Kacynski]

Is it possible to "export" the list of credentials for the job's current 
scope so that they can be accessed via environment variables for job built 
steps like shell scripts?

Re: Release date of next LTS release

Re: Difference btw. Enterprise Role-Based-Access-Control and Free Role-Strategy Plugin?

[Walter Kacynski]

I have used the Enterprise Version in a limited trial and I currently use 
the RegEx version in our PROD Jenkins instance.  I like the simplicity and 
centralized management of the RegEx version.   However, the RBAC 
(Enterprise) version allows for decentralized management which is great if 
you want a true multi-use one Jenkins Master to rule them all for your 
company.  My only complaint is that there isn't a report of all the 
security permissions that are defined in the organization for audit 
purposes.

Unable to Start NEW SSH slave

[Walter Kacynski]

I'm trying to attache a new SSH based slave to my Jenkins 1.510 
installation.  However after creating the slave the master always complains 
that "This node is offline because Jenkins failed to launch the slave agent 
on it."  However, clicking on the Slave log reveals NO output text.  I have 
checked the remote system and there are no access attempts so it looks like 
the master is not generating any connections.

I see these messages repeated in the master jenkins.err.log:
50568 Jun 17, 2013 9:00:57 AM hudson.slaves.SlaveComputer tryReconnect
50569 INFO: Attempting to reconnect SNDWASA001

Job Generator generation slow

[Walter Kacynski]

I'm using the Job Generator plugin to generate 100 new jobs.  I notice that 
each invocation of the generation takes about 3 seconds.  This seems very 
long given the fact that it's executing an internal API call within the 
master.  Does anyone know a way to speed up this process so that jobs are 
trigger more quickly?  My Jenkins quiet period is set to zero.

Thanks,
Walt

Re: unable to disable automatic gzip responses

[Walter Kacynski]

I have done more testing with this option and I can confirm this behavior 
that it does not seem possible to disable the gzip response compression.  
Does anyone have a solution to this?

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-14362

Since we use a reverse proxy, I'm considering changing our mod_rewrite 
rules to strip the Accept-Encoding header to remove gzip as an option.
