Thanks Kevin. I mangled the url for security reasons. I wonder if the reason that the Jenkins master complains about the svn url has to do with this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12625614/jenkins-not-able-to-use-svn-credentials-or-download-new-plugins-new-versions which advises to try starting jenkins with this option: -Dsvnkit.http.sslProtocols="SSLv3" However, I don't know how to do that. Our master runs on Linux and I start it as follows: sudo /etc/init.d/ jenkins start Any comments are welcome.

Ø Since the URL you have provided is local to the slave's filesystem Sorry, I don't understand. In what sense have I specified the url as 'local to the slave's filesystem' ? I have just used a https url.

Since the URL you have provided is local to the slave's filesystem, the check will fail when done on the Jenkins server. If the job works, just ignore this error/warning, because it's irrelevant for this job. In general, Jenkins SCM plugins assume that URLs that you provide to them will be accessible from *both* the Jenkins server and any slaves used for the jobs. ----- Original Message ----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com%3cmailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com>> To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com%3cmailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com>> At: Mar 19 2013 12:40:10 Hi My simple Jenkins job runs on a Windows slave, checks out a Subversion project and executes a simple 'dir' command on it. It works fine but, in the Configure screen, Jenkins reports an error for the svn url: Unable to access <myurl>/trunk : svn: OPTIONS /subversion/MyProject/trunk failed (show details)<http://hudsonmaster.uktm.eu.nec.com:8080/view/HW%20jobs/job/Swift_regression_test/configure> org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: OPTIONS /subversion/MyProject/trunk failed at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.io.dav.http.HTTPConnection.request(HTTPConnection.java:298) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.io.dav.http.HTTPConnection.request(HTTPConnection.java:283) at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.io.dav.http.HTTPConnection.request(HTTPConnection.java:271) The url format I've used works fine for other jobs and, as I said above, the job works. I'm running Jenkins LTS 1.480.3. Entering svn credentials makes no difference, and I don't normally need to do that. Any suggestions why I am getting an error please?
