Title: Message Title

Derek Overlock created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-30755 GIT Plugin doesn't respect GIT_HOME or PATH Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Nicolas De Loof Components: git-client-plugin, git-plugin Created: 02/Oct/15 12:17 AM Environment: Jenkins version 1.6.17, git-plugin v2.4.0, RHEL6 Labels: jenkins git-plugin client Priority: Minor Reporter: Derek Overlock Our RHEL server did not come with a supported version of git, so we had to compile from source. With the way our organization does access-control (we are rootless on our testing and production systems), we wanted to compile git from source on one machine in a directory where we have access, and then copy the compiled binaries to the same directory on other machines (including our Jenkins server). I have the new git binary located at /opt/mount1/opt/git-2.6.0/bin/git, and I see in the GIT Plugin documentation that we need to set GIT_HOME in the Global Properties for GIT Plugin to use this binary. I have GIT_HOME=/opt/mount1/opt/git-2.6.0 , but it looks like Jenkins is still using the old GIT version. This is just speculative right now, it's throwing the same error (no remote helpers for HTTPS) as it was before I added GIT_HOME. I ssh'd into the computer and ran that same git clone command myself with the same (new) binary... it cloned the repo fine. Unless there's a way to debug the GIT plugin and find out explicitly what binary it's using, I can only go off of this evidence. I added a 'pre-build' step and ran echo $(which git) and it pointed to the correct binary - /opt/mount1/opt/git/bin/git, would GIT Plugin then be using this binary? Summary: We needed a newer version than what was available in the RHEL repos, so we compiled our own and can't get GIT Plugin to use this new binary.
