I made my best guess at the steps you took and was unable to duplicate the problem. You'll need to provide more details of the steps you took and how your system is configured. Steps I took included (with no claim that any of these steps are especially crucial, they just happen to be the steps that I took):
- Installed PortableGit-2.30.0.2 in C:\J\Tools\PortableGit-2.30.0.2 and added C:\J\Tools\PortableGit-2.30.0.2\bin to my PATH - Installed AdoptOpenJDK Java 8u282 in C:\J\Tools\jfk8u282-b08 and added C:\J\Tools\jfk8u282-b08\bin to my PATH and C:\J\Tools\jfk8u282-b08 as JAVA_HOME - Download Jenkins 2.264.4-rc to my Windows 10 computer (used that version because I wanted to also test that version) - Run jenkins with the command "java -jar jenkins.war" from a Windows Command Prompt - Create a GitHub Personal Access Token on my GitHub account with full permissions - Define a Jenkinsfile in the feature/test-PM branch of my https://github.com/MarkEWaite/bin.git repository - Create a Pipeline job that uses the personal access token to clone the feature/test-PM branch of my https://github.com/MarkEWaite/bin.git repository using the personal access token - Confirm that the Pipeline job checkout works as expected - Create a Multibranch Pipeline job with Git as the branch provider for the https://github.com/MarkEWaite/bin.git repository using the personal access token - Confirm that the Multibranch Pipeline job checkout with Git works as expected - Create a Multibranch Pipeline job with GitHub as the branch provider for the https://github.com/MarkEWaite/bin.git repository using the personal access token - Confirm that the Multibranch Pipeline job checkout with GitHub works as expected - Create a Multibranch Pipeline job with single source as the branch provider for the https://github.com/MarkEWaite/bin.git repository using the personal access token - Confirm that the Multibranch Pipeline job with single source works as expected The declarative Pipeline Jenkinsfile I used and permuted in various ways was: pipeline { agent { label 'windows' } options { skipDefaultCheckout true } stages { stage('Build') { steps { echo 'Building' checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: 'feature/test-PM']], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: 'github-access-token', url: ' https://github.com/MarkEWaite/bin.git']]]) bat 'type ngrok.yml' } } stage('Test') { steps { echo 'Testing' bat 'type docker_scrub.sh' } } stage('Deploy') { steps { echo 'Deploying' bat 'type inbound-jenkins-agent-alpine' } } } } On Fri, Jan 29, 2021 at 2:00 PM Patrick Moran <patmoran2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the reply Mark.
