Polling a repository in Jenkins CI

[hhn10]

Hi all

I am a newbie in plasticscm and trying to set up a build project in jenkins ci server. I can successfully update the workspace and build my project, however, it fails to poll the repository for changes.

Here the log output:

[workspace] $ cm wi --machinereadable --fieldseparator=def#_#sep

Here's the output when I run the above command manually in the workspace:

cm wi --machinereadable --fieldseparator=def#_#sep

BRdef#_#sep/maindef#_#sepTakePlaceWebsite@myserver:8087

Jenkins is runnning version 1.489 and the PlasticSCM plugin is version 2.0

Anybody knows how to fix this?

Hi, I'm not sure is the exception comes from our side, the "wi" command is a pretty easy command.

The plugins internally uses the "cm" command, can you please enable the cm log and post to us the result?

Hi Manu, thanks for the suggestion Find below the top of the log. What is strange is that there is no entry between 15:35 and 16:15.. The first one was done by me manually in a console as the jenkins user to test the loging and the second one was running the build job from jenkins after clearing the workspace to force jenkins to checkout the sources. The polling takes place every 5 minutes, it has been running between the two entries. I guess is is not executing the call properly, hence no entry in the log and an error parsing the answer.. still, I don't know how to proceed.

Hi,

it seems that there are no errors in the Plastic SCM log, can you try to match the Jenkins error message with the Plastic SCM log lines?

Can you try to setup again the Jenkins project and test again?
