Hi, we would like to setup a release mirror.
As stated on http://jenkins-ci.org/content/mirrors, I tried to contact

BTW, http://jenkins-ci.org/content/mirrors and
http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/status.html seem outdated.


I see that one mirror appears to be offline that's mentioned in the 
list, but otherwise the mirror status page seems to be up-to-date?


Anyway, adding a mirror sounds good.  Where would it be located?
I'm sure Tyler will respond when he gets a chance.  Otherwise, I can 
remind him in person next week at FOSDEM :)

Re: Jenkins User Conference 2014

[Christopher Orr]

Hi all,

In my Cologne-biased opinion, I agree that it's a city very central 
within (western) Europe and is easily reached by plane/train/automobile 
for a *lot* of people.
But I can also understand that Berlin is also a very well-served 
destination, and is presumably a cheaper place for people to stay, and 
it may well have the largest software dev population in Germany (as for 
*Jenkins user count*, I have no idea).


But I think so long as we're talking about a European Jenkins 
conference, i.e. it's not being marketed as Germany-specific, then I 
think the city itself shouldn't be a big issue.  I can think of people 
working in the UK and Ireland, for example, who would likely travel to 
an easily-reachable city for a good Jenkins user conference.


Regards,
Chris

Just out of curiosity, what made Berlin win over Cologne as the location?

Hi All,

Last year, many said they couldn't attend the Jenkins User Conference in
Palo Alto due to costs (travel expenses).  This year, we've decided to add
JUC East Coast (US), and Germany in addition to JUC Israel and California.
Please see conference dates below, we are working on nailing down exact
dates, pls note that some of these dates may change. With that said, the
*Call
for
Papers*is
officially open. If you have suggestions for topics and themes please do
share your ideas.

I would also like to know  where on the East Coast would be the most
central location, that would be convenient and accessible travel wise for
our attendees or if any one know which city on the East Coast has the most
Jenkins users as that can help determine which city to hold the conference.
Some cities that were suggested are Washington DC, Orlando, Philly, Boston.
Any thoughts on these cities?

WRT sponsorship, I know that Lisa has been hard at work putting together
the 2014 sponsor packages. If you're interested in sponsoring at any of
these events pls contact Lisa Wells
(lwe...@cloudbees.com). FYI, last year's sponsorship packages were taken
up very fast, space is limited.

*JUC 2014*

 - JUC Berlin, Germany [June 5]
 - JUC US East Coast [June]
 - JUC Israel [tbd - previous years has been in July]
 - JUC California [October]

*Call for Papers Deadline*

 - JUC Berlin, Germany [March 30, 2014]
 - JUC US East Coast [ March 30, 2014]

Re: Is every build kept in the JVM?

[Christopher Orr]

For the benefit of anybody not on the developers' mailing list, Kohsuke 
is currently implementing lazy-loading of job information!


This is currently running on ci.jenkins-ci.org and you can beta test the 
latest lazy-load build by grabbing jenkins.war from there:

https://ci.jenkins-ci.org/job/jenkins_lazy_load/

The relevant mailing list thread is here:
https://groups.google.com/group/jenkinsci-dev/browse_thread/thread/ae2e44f4b5b6903a

If you have issues with this build, there's a thread on GitHub:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/573

This is IMO one of the major pain points with Jenkins. We keep 'only' 3
weeks worth of builds and still it takes >40 minutes for a Jenkins
startup - spending the majority of the time in loading the builds.


Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be easy to fix this without breaking
existing API. I had once tried to figure out an easy way to load old
builds only on demand, but gave up after several hours.

As Mark already said, the currently preferred solution is to remove old
builds.

Great to know this by the way. Does it load all the metadata on service
startup or does it slowly accumulate?

It appears that every build that Jenkins “remembers” is kept in the
JVM itself. That is, when I’m keeping the last 400 runs of a given
job, I have the metadata (though not the logs, I hope…) of all 400
runs in the JVM. Is this in fact the case? Is there a way to store
build information historically without keeping it in core? Is this
a problem for other users?

There is no difference -- they're two names for the same thing.

Re: What is the difference between multi configuration job and matrix based job?.

[Christopher Orr]

I guess you're referring to the "parent" build that appears when 
executing a multi-configuration job, which monitors the child builds.


This doesn't actually consume an additional executor.  But if you want 
to control which slave this runs on, you can use the Matrix Tie Parent 
Plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Matrix+Tie+Parent+Plugin

I'm not sure if this quite meets your needs, but the Port Allocator

Re: Build based on tag

[Christopher Orr]

Could be a job for the Promoted Builds Plugin:

That lets you define a manual step on a job, where you have to go in and 
click "Approve", e.g. to indicate that you've tested it, which can then 
trigger another job.

It seems unfortunate that the plugin can't handle it gracefully if you

Re: Jenkins upgrade path

[Christopher Orr]

Just wondering... did you really mean Jenkins 1.143 (September 2007), or 
Jenkins 1.413 (May 2011)? :)

I'm trying to upgrade Jenkins from version v1.143 to 1.490 and ran into
a couple of issues.

I've tried the following upgrade paths:

  * deployed new Jenkins war module to tomcat (7.x) - due to out of date
plug-ins the error log was littered with exceptions.
  * updated all installed plug-ins to latest version, deployed new
Jenkins war module to tomcat (7.x) - looked successful at first then
discovered that the subversion plug-in was missing!
  * updated all installed plug-ins to latest version, deployed new
Jenkins war module to tomcat (7.x)- tried to update subversion
plug-in as well but this never worked, Jenkins instance remained
with out the subversion plug-in.

There are over 150 projects configured (99% of the projects are Maven 2
projects) in this Jenkins instance so any manual configuration updates
would be rather time consuming.

I'm looking for a simple drop-in and upgrade solution.

Re: Builds of new configuration in a matrix build are lost after some time.

[Christopher Orr]

Hi there,

I had a very similar issue recently with a Mac master (and no slaves), 
where one of the axis names was changed from "FOO" to "Foo", which 
caused problems, because Jenkins found the already-existing "axis-FOO" 
directory, but this caused problems as it didn't match "Foo" exactly.


Can you check that the axis names are matching the directory names used 
everywhere?

Hello,
I'm using Jenkins 1.487 with matrix jobs. Debian master, linux & windows

I've just made some changes in matrix jobs. I have added new
configuration to a user defined axis.
The matrix job run properly and I could see that new configuration was
build properly :
- The parent jobs console log says " newconfiguation completed with
result SUCCESS"
I can go to the the new configuration web page, see the logs and the
artifacts.
Looking at the matrix, the bullet corresponding to the new configuration
is blue !

After some time ( less than 2 hours) the result from the build is lost.
The bullet corresponding to the new configuration is grey and indicates
NOT RUN when I pass the mouse over it.
So I cannot click on the bullet to see the build.

If I go back to the parent job console, I can click on the
"newconfiguation completed with result SUCCESS" link.
I get a web page, where everything is empty : no Build History, empty
change log, no artifacts.

I run the job again . Can see the newconfiguration build. Some hours
later , everything is gone again.

Looking on the master node , in /va/lib/jenkins/jobs, I can see
/var/lib/jenkins/jobs//job_name//configurations/../axis-xxx/newconfiguration/
I this folder everything looks fine : "builds config.xml lastStable
lastSuccessful"
In lastSuccessful I can see the log, the build.xml.
Could not understand why this does not appear in jenkins.
Any Idea why the new build are lost ? This is really annoying. I've
faced this issue on several jobs.
I did not the the problem before has someone else seen this issue ?

Thanks.

Re: How does Jenkins know tests history

Yes, I believe that's correct -- test results are tracked based on their 
package and class name.

Hi

Check this image. Jenkins says this test failure is a regression (e.g.
fails this build, passed previous build). How does Jenkins know to match
the result from both builds - after all Jenkins know about the test

the Xml? In this case if a class is renamed so the full name of its
tests also changes and all this history data is lost. Is this correct?

I dont think, that Jenkins does a string Matching. Jenkins has its
own Methods to get
these information.

For example you can use:
item = hudson.model.Hudson.instance.getItem("job_name")
build = item.getLastBuild()

So i guess its working with a List and without any matching tests,
there shouldnt be

But if im wrong, im happy for any further information.

Re: Redeploy the old artifacts

[Christopher Orr]

Yeah, if you didn't enable "Archive the artifacts" in the old builds, 
i.e. you don't have the WAR file (or whatever it is you want to deploy), 
you'd have to take the approach of re-checking out the source, building 
and then doing whatever deployment steps you want.


But if you *did* archive the previous artifacts you could redploy them 
from another job as follows:


Install the Copy Artifact plugin.

Create a new job, enable "This build is parameterized", and add a "Build 
selector for Copy Artifact".  Call it "BUILD_TO_DEPLOY", for example. 
Choose "Specific build" and leave the build number empty (or enter a 
default, like "1").


Add a new build step: Copy artifacts from another project.  Enter the 
project name you want to copy the WAR file from.  For "Which build", 
choose "Specified by a build parameter" and as the name enter 
"BUILD_TO_DEPLOY".  Under artifacts to copy, enter "**/*.war".


Now whenever you run this job, you will have the previously built WAR 
files from whichever previous build you want, allowing you can deploy 
them however you like (e.g. "Publish over SSH" or "WebLogic Deployer" 
plugins).

Chris

Hi, Anba. Unless you had already set something up beforehand, it will

artifacts inside a workspace, and that same workspace is re-used every

What you /could/ do is direct Jenkins to clone/update the source in such
a way that it's updating to the same changeset from which build 1 was
produced, then run a new build. Theoretically, this will give you an
artifact equivalent to the one built in build 1.

What are you using for source control?

If zero files are copied, by default this is regarded as a failure and

This means either the files-to-copy pattern you entered was wrong, or 
you didn't archive the artifacts correctly in the other build.


You can disable failing the build if nothing is copied -- just check the

Your "build-project" target runs  which looks for the Java files

Moreover Jenkins doesn’t log anything as if nothing happened – without

I had to debug a weird LDAP login problem once, but either I didn't use

I ended up using tcpdump to see what was happening (since our LDAP

Maybe you can do something similar to see whether Jenkins is correctly

Re: JUnit Attachment Plugin - NUnit option?

[Christopher Orr]

As far as I remember, the JUnit Attachment plugin code is pretty 
JUnit-specific, directly using the JUnit support in Jenkins' core.


So I'd say there are a few potential alternatives:
- Run your NUnit XML through an XSL transform to get JUnit XML, and use 
the existing plugin.
- Do a load of work to refactor and abstract away the JUnit stuff in the 
existing plugin, making it possible to support multiple formats.

- Extend the existing NUnit plugin to support the attachment syntax.

Chris

Re: Explanation needed: Difference between User and UserProperty

Hi there,

There's a jenkins-dev mailing list where you're more likely to get a

But in general, a User is a user, and each one can have multiple 
UserProperties (e.g. their email address is a property, their API token 
is a property).

In your banking example, no information is given away by the URL itself.

Where I work, only authorised employees have access to certain Jenkins

ascertain via URLs which return 401 rather than 404.

Re: Sonar tests fail bevause xvnc plugin was terminated before execution

Hi there,

On 03/05/2012 03:07 PM, MSF wrote:

we have some issues with one of our jobs on our Jenkins (1.424.3 =
current LTS Version). We are using xvnc (1.10) and Sonar (1.8) plugins.
The job fails because the generated xvnc session is terminated before
Sonar is started.


Can you maybe explain your build setup a bit further?

You have a single Jenkins job, which has "Run Xvnc" as a build 
environment action, you build some code (and maybe run tests), then a 
"Run Sonar analysis" post-build action should occur.  Is that right?


I had the feeling that BuildWrappers like Xvnc only exit at the very end 
of a build, so it would be useful to see what your setup is.  Though I 
haven't checked this statement :)




We tried different versions of the plugins, but the
result is always the same. We even tried to recompile the xvnc plugin
from source with a different ordinal number like:

@Extension(ordinal = 1)

public static final class DescriptorImpl extends BuildWrapperDescriptor

or:

@Extension(ordinal = 1)

public static final class DescriptorImpl extends BuildWrapperDescriptor

but this did also change nothing in the result.


Here the ordinal only affects which BuildWrapper runs first, so it 
wouldn't affect the order of post-build actions like Sonar.




Here is the error with stack trace:

[INFO] Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date

[ERROR] There are test failures.


Why does Sonar even need a graphical environment to execute?

Perhaps it's just being opportunistic, seeing that the DISPLAY variable 
is set and tries to run in graphical mode.  Maybe the Xvnc plugin should 
unset the DISPLAY variable when it shuts down?




We're out of ideas right now, but it's quite important to get this
running. Is there any way to have the xvnc plugin with a X session still
running when Sonar is executed?


A possible alternative would be to create a separate Jenkins job that 
just runs Sonar, and copy all the files (test result XML, and whatever) 
from the first job that Sonar needs to look at.

Currently, we’ve been handling that by giving each build account on each

work under the assumption of one slave per host. I could do that by
running the slave as on an account that can sudo to all the build
accounts, and having one executor per build account. The build steps
would all have to be run inside sudo commands.


Running multiple slaves on the same host should be no problem, so long 
as they have their own working directory -- which sounds like what you

Re: Making Feature Branches Effective with Continuous Integration

[Christopher Orr]

Hi there,

It's not automated to the extent that this Bamboo feature is, but for 
select projects I have two Jenkins jobs: one for master, and another job 
cloned from the first, but using the "Inverse" choosing strategy in the 
git plugin -- i.e. it builds all branches *except* for master.  The only 
other change I make to the "feature branch" job is to discard all but 
the last five builds and disable the trend graphs.


Or if you always name your feature branches like "feature/*", then you 
can just enter that as your git branch, rather than using the Inverse 
strategy.


So building feature branches is definitely possible today with minimal 
effort, but sure -- the ability to do this completely automatically 
(i.e. without a second job) would be cool.  Thanks for the info.

the SCM master/trunk, you can then automatically create derived jobs
which share almost every configuration with the master's job but which
fetch the source from a specific branch. You can even enable "automatic
branch detection" so that these derived jobs are created automatically
when Bamboo detects that a new branch has been created.

Does anyone knows anything like that for Jenkins? I'd love to be able to

determine whether it's net-connected. Consequently I cannot update
Jenkins or install plugins because it fails at the connection check step.

Is this configurable? If I could change the connection check to
jenkins-ci.org, then updates and plugin installs could proceed as expected.


The connectionCheckUrl is built into the update-center.json file, so 
it's not something configurable on your side.


Even if you did change it, you'd need a firewall exception for 
updates.jenkins-ci.org, which redirects to mirrors.jenkins-ci.org, which 
then redirects to some hostname in the Jenkins mirror network -- so your 
current single firewall exception wouldn't be enough.


The mirror hostnames are listed here, but there is no definite guarantee 
that these will remain stable for any period of time:

http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/status.html

I'm not sure how others in this situation handle it, but a possible 
alternative would be to set up an HTTP caching proxy somewhere on your 
network that is allowed full internet access, then add that proxy to the 
Update Center config.

Unwanted symlink behaviour with Java 1.6 and git-client-plugin 1.6.5+

[Christopher Orr]

Hi all,

We discovered a subtle bug yesterday with the Git Client plugin and its 
use of jgit (even if you're using the default command-line git 
implementation).


I just noticed that this bug was probably fixed today by a pull request, 
but it's worth letting Jenkins users know about this.



If Jenkins clones a git repo on a machine running Java 1.6, the repo 
will be created with "core.symlinks = false" in the .git/config file.
This causes Bad Things to happen if your git repo happens to rely on the 
use of symlinks.



This happens because the Git Client plugin no longer uses "git clone" to 
clone a repo, but rather a combination of "git init" then "git fetch", 
and because the "git init" behaviour is implemented by jgit, even if 
you're using the default git CLI implementation.


As of jgit 3.3.0, if you're running on a JVM which does not support 
symlinks (Java 1.6 or older), then the library will explicitly set 
"core.symlinks" to false when creating the .git directory.


This means "git init" will create a repo which claims *not* to support 
symlinks, even if your file system *does* support symlinks.
"git fetch" will then be executed (via the git binary, rather than jgit) 
and will respect the erroneous "core.symlinks" config value.  Therefore 
you end up with files rather than the symlinks you expected in your 
cloned repo.


(We actually saw this on an OS X 10.9 server with Jenkins running under 
Java 1.7 (with Java 1.6 also on the server as the non-default Java 
install), but jgit — for some reason — seems to think it's running on 
Java 1.6 and so believes symlinks aren't supported).



Partly this seems to be a Git Client problem, but also (arguably) a jgit 
problem, as they explicitly configure new repos to reject symlinks, 
under the assumption that the repo will always be manipulated via jgit.


But at least this merge from today would appear to fix the Git Client 
plugin by removing the use of jgit for "git init" for the CLI 
implementation:

https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-client-plugin/commit/f5b27a9


So, If you see any weird problems with git repos and symlinks, you know 
why! :)

Chris

Re: Jenkins change language intermitentily

[Christopher Orr]

It seems that the "Default Language" field could do with some (better) 
documentation.


You could try entering "en" or "en_US" instead of "ENGLISH" in the field 
you mentioned and see if that improves things, as this value should be 
compatible with the Java Locale class.  Not having read the Java source, 
but perhaps entering "ENGLISH" causes some indeterminate behaviour 
somewhere along the line...

Re: Automating Jenkins Deployments with Chef

What are you trying to configure via Groovy?  Quite a lot of stuff can 
be done via the REST API or the CLI, but using the Groovy console 
generally seems more suited to fairly low-level operations.


I know it's not Chef, but have you seen the Puppet module for Jenkins? 
Likely there are some insights to be found in its code:

https://forge.puppetlabs.com/rtyler/jenkins



That would be fine except I am having considerable difficulty figuring
out how to configure Jenkins via groovy.  There does not seem to be a
lot of information out there either in the Jenkins docs nor in blogs,
etc.  None of the plug-ins document their API, etc.  There are API docs
for main Jenkins which help but only if you already understand the big
picture, which is what I am struggling with right now.  I understand how
to configure all of our Jenkins boxes via the UI, but how do I learn to
translate that into knowledge of writing groovy scripts?  Right now the
only means I am seeing is to spend a very long time digging my way
through the source code itself and learning from trial and error.  Is
there another way?

How do people out there learn and use the Jenkins API?


Trial-and-error is probably the most common way :)  But this mailing 
list and the IRC channel are good resources too.


But when you say you're struggling with the big picture, what are you 
trying to do?  Plugins generally don't need to be configured, especially 
not via Groovy scripts — most plugin configuration is done per-job and 
so is bundled with with config.xml for the job.


You should be able to get pretty far by building the config you want in 
the web UI, exporting the config XML via 
$JENKINS_URL/job/$JOB_NAME/config.xml, which you can then later POST to 
the REST API in another Jenkins instance.

Re: downloads from archives.jenkins-ci.org never finish...

Yup, I can reproduce this from Germany; but Rackspace seems to be doing 
fine, and other nearby IP addresses seem speedy.


Since you're downloading a three-year-old package, you're being 
redirected from mirrors.j.o to archives.j.o.
I'm just speculating, but maybe there's a data transfer limit on the 
archives server which gets activated if there has been too much traffic, 
to avoid excess data transfer costs (as has happened in the past).




Because of this I am unable to create an internal mirror of RPM packages
for Jenkins.


Out of interest, why do you need to create a mirror of long-outdated 
Jenkins packages?

Sounds good!

Am I missing something?  There are posts here every so often that
mention the amazingness of Literate, yet it's never had a release, so
nobody can install it, so I'm not surprised it hasn't taken off...

Unless you scroll to the bottom of a blog post on jenkins-ci.org from
2013, or to the bottom of the infobox-less wiki page, and then change
your Update Centre, you'll never see the plugin.

If it works even half-decently, just release it.. right? :)

Re: Jenkins not saving P12 certificate from Google Service Account from private key

[Christopher Orr]

Do you see the files being created in $JENKINS_HOME/credentials/gauth
(that's from memory, so not 100% sure on the path)?

Are those gauth p12 filenames listed in $JENKINS_HOME/credentials.xml?

Re: Jenkins not saving P12 certificate from Google Service Account from private key

[Christopher Orr]

Weird.  There should be `emailAddress` and `p12KeyFile` tags within
`serviceAccountConfig`.

I see that v0.4 of the plugin came out recently which, from a quick look
at the code changes, makes some changes in how the data is stored — but
I tested with 0.3, upgrading to 0.4, and re-saving with 0.4 and
everything worked fine (and there were no data changes on disk).

Do you see any errors in the Jenkins logs when you save the credential?
 Does the .p12 file get saved to $JENKINS_HOME/gauth?

Chris

Which platform is this happening on?

There's a report from a Windows user here:

It did seem to be working for me on Linux, as that user also reports.

Re: android-x86 or Genymotion emulators with Jenkins

[Christopher Orr]

Genymotion emulators should automatically become available via adb, so
you shouldn't have to do any special setup.

If not, you can get the IP address of the emulator via the Genymotion
shell (I believe the shell command is "devices list"), and then run `adb
connect $IP`.

Re: Build flow "build" function doesn't return a build object if FAILED or UNSTABLE

I haven't used Build Flow, but I would guess that this is a basic
scoping problem.

BUILD_TO_RETURN is defined in the "try" block, which means it's not
visible outside of that block, i.e. it won't exist and so returns `null`
when the "catch" block tries to access it.

Try defining your variable before the "try" block:

  def BUILD_TO_RETURN
  try {
BUILD_TO_RETURN = build(...)
  } catch (...) {
...
  }

Re: How to use proxy socks with Jenkins

[Christopher Orr]

>From the example on the wiki page, you add them as Java options:

  java -D -D -jar jenkins.war


You don't mention which OS or Jenkins package you're using, or how you
modified the startup script, so it's hard to give specific info.

But on Debian, you would modify JAVA_ARGS in /etc/default/jenkins, and
JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins for the RPM package.

There's some more info to be found on the wiki here:

Re: Get job schedule from API

[Christopher Orr]

Only part of the job config is exposed in the API.  For example, SCM
info is there, but not build triggers.  I imagine you could file a
feature request for that :)

Though there is at least a way of programmatically grabbing the job
config, so if you're authenticated, you can parse the XML, e.g.:

curl -s https://ci.jenkins-ci.org/job/infra_update_center_v3/config.xml
| xpath -e '/project/triggers/hudson.triggers.TimerTrigger/spec/text()'

Re: Zero Day attack due to Apache Commons statement to widespread Java object de-serialisation vulnerability

[Christopher Orr]

Also note that, if you're planning a Jenkins upgrade anyway, there's
another Jenkins release coming out tomorrow (1.625.3) to fix one or more
new security issues:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jenkinsci-advisories/UbJeKl4Vxbw

So, you may want to apply the CLI workaround from the blog post that
Mark linked to just now, and do a full upgrade tomorrow (or more likely
Thursday, as releases seem to be done in US West Coast working hours).

Git metadata is stored in a `BuildData` action, so something like this
(untested) should work:

b475.getAction(hudson.plugins.git.util.BuildData.class).lastBuiltRevision.sha1String

Re: Groovy Question: revision from job?

[Christopher Orr]

Well, I had the advantage of having used that API in my own plugin before :)

But yeah, Git is just plugin like any other, so there's no magical way
of knowing how to access data from its internals.

Though if you know that "Actions" exist, and are a mechanism for plugins
to associate data with a build, you might be able to get somewhere in
general by using the Script Console as Brian mentioned, coupled with a
bit of digging on GitHub.

If you have specific questions, the mailing list or IRC are also good
bets :)

Regards,
Chris

I would guess that Xvfb isn't actually getting shut down after the
initial build?  Do you see it still running after a build completes?

Do you see the "Xvfb stopping" line in the output, and any other errors
around the same time?

Something like #2 would be good — #6 is also ok.

The plugin bundles a com.microsoft.tfs.sdk JAR file:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/tfs-plugin/blob/0364972/pom.xml#L219-L225

This appears to come from Microsoft's TFS SDK for Java.

False accusations are bad as well ;)

The parent didn't hijack any threads, as you can see from a regular
email client, the Google Groups web page for the thread, or from the

You didn't mention which version of the plugin you're using, but it
seems to be the latest version.

The plugin appears to be wrongly causing that "processing failed" error
message to be shown — that should be handled more gracefully.  Code:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker-custom-build-environment-plugin/blob/docker-custom-build-environment-1.6.4/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/jenkins/plugins/docker_build_env/Docker.java#L120-L128

According to that part of the source code, running the `docker build`
command failed, and any output from the docker command will have been
written to the build log, right before the error message you've posted
here.  So try looking there.

I also note that there has been a lot of activity since the most recent
plugin release, so maybe the maintainers will make a new release soon,
which will fix this or add more checks or more logging etc..

Regards,
Chris

Even if you do that, the jenkins user, as part of the docker group, will
still have direct access to the unix socket that the Docker daemon uses.

As is quite often the case with a CI server, you most likely need to
either trust the users who can configure jobs (or edit Workflow scripts
(if in source control)), or lock down the Jenkins configuration to allow
only specific users.

The Docker security guide also says "only trusted users should be
allowed to control your Docker daemon":
https://docs.docker.com/engine/articles/security/
