Running Jenkins 1.482 on Windows 7. Everything working fine for several weeks. Several free-style build jobs running consistently without issue. Then a couple days ago, seemingly out of nowhere, they have all begun failing with an "Access is denied." at the point where Jenkins attempts to run it's temporary batch file.
So every job now gets to a point where I'm just getting: [workspace] $ cmd /c call C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\hudson5402718971039833371.bat Access is denied. Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure Every time. I've taken out any job-specific concerns by creating a job that simply issues a simple "cd" command and nothing more. I get the same behavior. Installation was with the Windows installer and I'm running Jenkins as a service as my user account. I have admin on the machine. JENKINS_HOME is at a path under my User folder. I'm on an enterprise network so I can't guarantee that "something" didn't change on the machine, but I didn't touch the Jenkins environment between the last time it worked and when it started failing. Any ideas? I'm not even 100% clear as to what the "Access is denied." is referring to. Can Jenkins not write its batch file to the temp folder? Can Jenkins not execute cmd? Are there additional logs I can look at to get any more details? Any thoughts on what else I could try (in or outside of Jenkins) to try to get another data point? Thanks.
