Re: Backing up the plugins themselves

Unless you're in the habit of manually patching things in plugins, it's sufficient to backup only the top level files (.jpi/.hpi/.disabled/.pinned). The folders are just the files extracted for use by Jenkins. On 29.03.2014, at 00:57, Mishael Kim mish...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I was

I'd try comparing the output of the `env` command in your terminal and in the Jenkins job to see whether relevant environment variables need to be defined in the job. On 29.03.2014, at 05:41, Fatemeh Mehdizadeh mehdizadeh.fate...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, My test on jenkins is failing

Are you using the Xvnc plugin, or assuming the ability to connect to another X server? You may find it easier to use the Xvnc plugin and let Jenkins start and stop an X server for the jobs. If you're already using the Xvnc plugin, then you might consider checking that you can connect to the X

Usually a timeout in calls to git are due to missing credentials information. In your case, that doesn't seem to be the root problem, since I can view the contents of that repository without credentials. If you want to experiment with it, you could create a credential for that github repository.

Somewhat related - we've been trying to harden up our Jenkins management processes and have created a repeatable Jenkins deployment process. We store some configuration data in our SCM that describes the version of Jenkins to use, the versions of the plugins and the userContent folder. We then

Tried the git://github... link, still no luck. Note that it did download the files to the workspace (C:/.jenkins/workspace), but then the build just hung and still hasn't finished after 10 minutes. Haven't had time to try the https link yet. On Saturday, March 29, 2014 12:09:25 PM UTC-5,
