Hi,
I just updated our Jenkins installation to version 2.59 (from 2.53) for which I had to install Java 8 (also on the agents) since it is used by 2.54 and later. The Jenkins came up again and seemed to be working but there is a problem when checking out Git repositories on any of our projects. Jenkins seems to hang: Fetching changes from the remote Git repository Cleaning workspace ...and that's it. When looking into the Jenkins logs I see the following exception: May 08, 2017 11:34:47 AM hudson.init.impl.InstallUncaughtExceptionHandler$DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler uncaughtException SEVERE: A thread (Thread-17/172) died unexpectedly due to an uncaught exception, this may leave your Jenkins in a bad way and is usually indicative of a bug in the code. java.lang.NullPointerException at com.trilead.ssh2.transport.KexManager.handleMessage(KexManager.java:447) at com.trilead.ssh2.transport.TransportManager.receiveLoop(TransportManager.java:790) at com.trilead.ssh2.transport.TransportManager$1.run(TransportManager.java:502) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) What causes the problem here? How do I fix this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
