Hi, I'm trying to configure a post-build action, but it fails on a file copy/touch command.
In the log output the situation is clear, jenkins is not a member of the group tomcat7, so he doesn't have the right to create that file. Jenkins-Console-Log: [...] SNAPSHOT/web-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war channel stopped [workspace] $ /bin/bash -xe /tmp/hudson7730141733158377543.sh + whoami jenkins + ls -lat /var/lib/tomcat7/webappsTnbt/ total 12 drwxrwxr-x 3 tomcat7 tomcat7 4096 Sep 12 00:38 . drwxrwxr-x 2 tomcat7 tomcat7 4096 Sep 12 00:15 web-1.0-SNAPSHOT drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 12 00:14 .. + groups jenkins + touch /var/lib/tomcat7/webappsTnbt/foo.txt touch: cannot touch `/var/lib/tomcat7/webappsTnbt/foo.txt': Permission denied Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure Finished: FAILURE What I don't understand is, on the operating system level, the user jenkins is member of the group tomcat7. I added him to the /etc/group file and on the command line I get the following responses for that user: $ whoami jenkins $ groups jenkins tomcat7 and esp. the touch command works. So why does the group membership differ for the jenkins user for those two situations described above? What am I missing?
