Jenkins "build queue loop" issue - jenkins

Recently updated Jenkins (2.332.3) got into "build queue loop". Restart is not helping at all as the build queue will appear again out of nowhere.
Any thoughts on that?

Jenkins job pauses for 15 minutes

I have a job running on a WindowsServer2012R2 agent. The job is pausing between 2 plugins (BuildNameSetter v1.6.8 and DiscardOldBuilds v1.0.5) as you can see below:
13:05:25 Set build name.
13:05:25 New build name is '5.0.811.0'
13:20:21 Discard old builds...
I've started to notice this strange behavior after upgrading Jenkins Master from 2.89 to 2.190.3.
It's frustrating to see your job taking a 15 minutes nap!
Is this a server side issue or a agent side one?
Can someone give me some hints about how to tackle this problem?
Did you experience something similar?
you could have a look at jenkins central logs /log/all to see if there is any java stacktrace error in there
Then you should first try to isolate the issue. try deactivating the build name setter step first. then try to disable the discard old build. then enable build name setter again and keep discard old build deactivated
now you know which plugin is causing the issue try to downgrade or upgrade the plugin that makes your build hang
if the issue comes from discard old build, I would try to remove clean the job's workspace and remove builds manually
look for your issue on jenkins's jira system, upvote. create a ticket if you have not found another user experiencing the same issue
Finally you should be able to find workarounds for these plugins
Today I've upgraded Jenkins to a newer version (2.263.2) on the Jenkins server and the 15 minutes pause dissapeared.

Jenkins job is not stopping after completion of execution

I am running Jenkins using maven and once the job is completed it is not terminating until we terminate it manually.In console output able to see the results but not showing build success and showing the processing symbol/loading symbol. can any one tell me how to stop the job after job execution.
Do we need to terminate manually or
do we have need to add anything in post build to stop after successful execution?
do we have to set something in configuration to terminate automatically
please can anyone help me out?
A few things could be going on here:
Does the Maven build execute any other goals after running tests ? If so those could be hanging.
Does your build run on a slave ? If so, Jenkins copies log files and other artifacts back to the master after completing the build steps but before marking the build as complete. You may have a network or I/O bottleneck here.
If you can't figure out the root cause and just want to have the build terminate without intervention, you can use the build timeout plugin.
If you have jobs running in parallell then some plugins have to wait for the older jobs to finish until the current one can. Not sure if this is your situation.
After using webdriver.quit() in our selenium project, it's working fine.Job got completed and the reports were generated.

How To Keep Gradle Daemon alive in Jenkins Build

Everytime Jenkins finished the build, it will kill every process it produced. But with Android project, I want the Gradle Daemon to keep alive in the background to get fast build time in the next build, is there any solution to this?
Thank you for any help!

How to delete a Jenkins Workflow build that crashed and is endlessly running?

In some occasions a runtime error causes a Jenkins Workflow build to crash, but Jenkins still sees this as a running build. Aborting the job is not possible in de Jenkins Gui. How can I abort or delete such a build?
I restart jenkins. I'm not happy with it though.
You can disconnect a slave node even when it's running a build. Once you reconnect the slave, there should be no jobs running on it.
See JENKINS-25550 for the current workaround for this class of bug.

Jenkins slaves go offline or hang when archiving artifacts

In the job post build action, am archiving the artifacts. 90% of the time, when the jenkins job reaches this step, the slave on which it is running hangs (or) goes offline (or) the job hangs and if I kill the job it throws a "Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" error.
Am running Jenkins ver 1.560.
Has anyone seen this or is aware of a fix for this? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
It looks like you're running into https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-22734 which started in version 1.560 and will be fixed in 1.563.
It's always a good idea to browse the Jenkins change log, especially the Community Ratings section, when you install a new version.
Whenever Hudson master will run out of space, slaves will disconnect and will have to be restarted.
You need to check Hudson master box and see how much space is allocated to the drive where hudson is running.
Another thing to note is that even if a job is running on slave, artifacts are archived always on master. So space allocation on master should be done properly.
I ran into this issue with 1.560v of Jenkins. Right now I have disabled the archiving of the maven artifacts from the "Build" section.
