Upgraded Jenkins and P4 plugin and builds no longer work?

By
I updated a Jenkins build system today and pipeline builds no longer worked.
After an hour or two of debugging I figured out it was due to the Jenkinsfile not being checked out due to the Jenkins / the P4 plugin having changed the location (path) it checked out to.

Checking out p4-12b39e21-cb2b-47e8-9488-22aca324fc36-//ir/rana/ebf/10.0.0/products/jenkins/linux/Jenkinsfile //jenkins-${NODE_NAME}-${JOB_NAME}/Jenkinsfile
 into /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/IIRV10-linux-ebf/branches/IIRV10ebf/workspace@script to read Jenkinsfile


... 

ERROR: /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/IIRV10-linux-ebf/branches/IIRV10ebf/workspace@script/Jenkinsfile not found
Finished: FAILURE
 



The previous path used was


 


/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/V10-build-trunk_IIRV10trunk-M5WSRVTJ6TYJGMXQO4574D5VYI3DULEPQJZJY5FGST6MOUHDDAPQ%40script


 





The change simplifies the generated path so is a good change. The problem is that Perforce thinks it is already checked out and so does not get the file.



From the command line you would add the force (-f) option to make sure the file was checked out however as this was running inside Jenkins I found it easier to delete the client workspace definitions (using P4V but you can also do it from the command line). When running the build again the client workspace will be recreated and the Jenkinsfile will be checked out.

The Extended Attributes Are Inconsistent in Windows 8












By
























I have upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 and all was fine for about three hours and then I started to get an error when trying to run any application that required Administrator privileges.   Half an hour of Googling led me to this blog post   Case of the broken uac prompt   This problem was caused by downloading themes. The final theme I had decided on included a new sound theme. Clearly at least one of the sounds did not play (the one for the UAC prompt!). Changing the sound theme (right click on desktop, choose "personalisation") to Windows Default sorted out the problem.   Doing a clean install would also have fixed it but that would have been a drastic solution and as soon as I installed a new theme it may have happened again.

Beware vnc and upnp












By
























My new linux box got hacked yesterday. I was careless.   My ADSL router has upnp support and it is turned on by default. I enabled "Remote Desktop" in Linux - which is a version of vnc - and decided not to set a password as it would not be accessible from outside the local network. That was my first mistake.   Last night I noticed a second connection to the linux box. Someone was using the browser and had connected to Western Union and was trying to install the flash plugin. They had not got very far as Fedora 14 does not install Flash on a 64bit system as it is still in beta so the install is not straightforward. I was able to disconnect this errant person before they got any further and I then disconnected the ADSL line from the modem to prevent another attempt and proceeded to diagnose what had happened.   I checked the preferences for VNC and noticed the automatically configure the network check box had been selected and that it was reporting an external address could be ...

Computer Fun (warning technical content)












By
























I  had to build a new computer when the motherboard in my personal computer developed a few faults and is being replaced. So I have been trying out  Windows Vista. I must admit to being underwhelmed. Different versions of the Video drivers have caused lockups at inconvenient moments  (is there a convenient  moment ?), the Aero  effects are nice but I turned them off as every time you run a non-compliant (with Aero) program the display flicks off and on (annoying!!), the explorer directory window will not show the total size of the files on the status bar unless you select all the files and the details view has had all the items changed and about 500 extra items added. Duration is now called Length, Dimensions is now two items and so on. Installation is improved over XP but it really depends on your hardware. I could not get all the hardware supported for an ASUS A8S-X motherboard until I installed XP first and upgraded to Vista. Trying to install XP drivers for the motherboard and othe...
