I opened a JIRA yesterday but I did not hear back - https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-22071 so I am asking here if anyone can help work around this issue.
When configuring a Webhook from github of type 'push' the post is successfully processed by the plugin. When a Webhook from github is configured of type 'pull_request' the post, the plugin throws an exception complaining that there is no payload. Github support seems to suggest that they are sending the correct payload. Exact line throwing the exception maps to this line - https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/jenkins/GitHubWebHook.java#L152 which maps to exception cause here Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not intended to be browsed interactively (must specify payload parameter) at com.cloudbees.jenkins.GitHubWebHook.doIndex(GitHubWebHook.java:154)
