I resolve this problem.

 

I just copy plastic4 folder at 'C:\users\{User}\AppData\Local' to 'C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local'

 

I can use pscm with jenkins now, but i want know cause of this problem.

Hi Gi-hong Kim,

 

Your problem is caused by an unconfigured client. You need to keep in mind that every user needs a valid client.conf to retrieve the default server and credentials. The user you had logged in to try the Plastic SCM commands had it already set up at 'C:\Users\{user_name}\AppData\Local\plastic4\client.conf', but the Jenkins user (most likely 'SYSTEM') hadn't. Therefore, copying your user's client.conf to SYSTEM's AppData path (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\plastic4\client.conf) caused the Jenkins user to detect its specific configuration.

This could have been achieved by copying your local client.conf file to the client directory at C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\client, or the directory you chose during installation.

I'm glad to know you were able to solve the problem!

 

Regards,

Miguel

Just a hint which have just come to my mind

Possible improvement for Jenkins plugin could be to have some configuration section in "Manage Jenkins"...

This configuration could detect presense of conf file in path for jenkins user conext.

SImpler option - just display kind of warning with info that client configuration is missing and some hints how to create them manualu

Advanced option - parse content of the file and display setting directly in Jenkins with the ability to change them and put back to xml automaticaly by plugin.

Hi Misieq,

Thank you for your suggestion! It really seems like an interesting addition to the plugin. I encourage you to add it to our UserVoice website if you'd like to see it implemented in the future depending on what traction it can get: https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general

Additionally, please keep in mind that our Jenkins Plugin is open-source and available for everyone to modify and enhance, so maybe you could add the functionality as you'd like it yourself!

 

Thanks for your feedback :-)

Regards,

Miguel
