I have a Jenkins Pipeline that is connected to a Bitbucket Server Repo.
The pipeline is configured with the Bitbucket Jenkins Plugin (version: 223.vd12f2bca5430) and is inside a Docker Container (PORT 8000).
To connect to the Bitbucket Server I have to use a VPN.
I have followed multiple tutorials and articles and failed. This seems a recurrent problem since I have seen multiple questions about this.
When I build the pipeline manually it works fine. It clones the repository and starts the building process but I cannot make the webhook trigger the building process.
Below you can see the configuration.

When I run the pipeline manually for the first time, the webhook is created in the repository with the following URL: http://localhost:8080/bitbucket-server-webhook/trigger
But when I test the Webhook, it fails everytime a returns the following message:
Unable to connect to the URL specified within the timeout, please check the host and port are correct and that the URL is accessible from the server running this request.

Is this a problem with my Bitbucket Server?
Thank you for your time.
I run a Gitlab and a Jenkins server locally. I connected those two using the gitlab-branch-source plugin. For every repository in gitlab i create a multibranch-pipeline job in jenkins. When a user pushes code, I want the corresponding job to be executed.
I'v tried a solution suggestend in this post and this one. Both of them don't seem to work.
In the gitlab server settings on the jenkins server I've set the check at "Manage Web Hooks". The personal access token which is used for the integration has the scopes "api, sudo".
What else could I try?
I am trying to trigger jenkins pipeline on gitlab push to branch and tag.
Using Jenkins ver. 2.176.2 and gitlab version 10.7.3-ee.
Although I have supposedly set up the webhooks properly, I do not see the jenkins job being triggered.
I have installed the gitlab plugin for jenkins, and configured the gitlab server, including the Personal Access Token for GitLab APIs access generated in gitlab.
I have defined the webhook (currently requesting trigger on all events). (for testing, ssl verification is off).
When testing the webhook in gitlab, I consistently receive HTTP error 500.
In jenkins pipeline job, I have selected "build when change is pushed to gitlab. gitlab webhook..." - this is the URL I used when defining the webhook in gitlab, under "integrations" section.
When pushing to gitlab, I see no event listed under "integrations -> recent deliveries",
I see no log under jenkins logs "com.dabsquared.gitlabjenkins" logger (set to log level "FINEST".
And lastly, the pipeline job is not triggered as I expected.
Any leads will be very helpful.
Adding printscreen of the Jenkins configuration of the gitlab for reference to the comment I added on possibility this is issue with the personal access token
Jenkins gitlab server configuration
Go to Settings of Gitlab Project -> Integrations and type in the Jenkins Job project url in 'URL'. URL should take either form:
http://JENKINS_URL/project/PROJECT_NAME
http://JENKINS_URL/project/FOLDER/PROJECT_NAME
Notice that the url does not contain "job" within it and instead uses "project".
Make sure under Triggers, you have "Push Events" checked as well if you want the job to trigger whenever someone pushes a commit.
Finally, run a build against your Jenkinsfile first before testing the webhook so Jenkins will pick-up the trigger settings for Gitlab.
Please refer the link for more details.
I want Jenkins to trigger build automatically when GitHub PR created, but it seems GitHub unable to communicate with Jenkins, getting an error in GitHub webhook as "We couldn’t deliver this payload: Service Timeout" which is automatically created after below configurations.
my Jenkins server is behind a firewall and I have installed & configured "Github pull request builder".
I have created a job with GitHub project and with below configurations. and
Jenkins proxy test
Any other configuration needed or am I doing something wrong ???
Is your jenkins server accessible from the internet? if not, you will need to open your firewall to allow access from github IPs specifically.
You can find githubs IP addresses on the meta endpoint for the api subdomain:
https://api.github.com/meta
In "Advanced" tab of GHPR select the below option:
Build every pull request automatically without asking (Dangerous!).
Put the name of the branch in Whitelist Target Branches.
I'd like to configure bitbutcket to trigger a jenkins build.
I've spent some time researching this and all the answers are from a few years ago, and have not found any guides because things seem to have changed since.
What I'm trying to do:
A bitbucket push to a particular branch triggers a build.
What I've got:
Bitbucket web hooks which fires HTTP request to Jenkins on a push to any branch. I've also installed the Bitbucket plugin on Jenkins which adds a check box in the job config Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket. This checkbox doesnt seem to work (maybe I set it up wrong? minimal docs for this), despite me pushing to the configured branch in the SCM section.
Problem 1: Bitbucket does not fire a GET, but another request which causes a 403. I tested with postman, and it works with a GET, but not a POST.
Problem 2: This HTTP build request is fired on pushes to any branch. While the build is still restricted to a particular branch, it seems unnecessary to be rebuilding all the time.
How do i address these issues? Bitbucket does not seem to be very flexible in customizing this. The Jenkins plugin for bitbucket has a lot of 'bad' reviews. How are developers currently doing this?
SPECIFIC solution for Jenkins CI server--Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket plugin has been commercialized in latest version of Bit-Bucket and the current price is around $4800 which was earlier a free offering, because of this, guys who want to save their bucks, can go to the alternative solution by using webhooks feature of bit-bucket:-
Steps to create a webhook:-
BitBucket Side
1) Go to your bitbucket repo, click on Repository Setting, under WORKFLOW got for WEBHOOKS option and create a webhook.
a) creation of webhook:- URL https://JenkinsserverURL/git/notifyCommit?url=https://bitbucket.repository-link/repository.git
b) In the name tab, give any name of your choice
c) click on TEST CONNECTION before saving it. Make sure you get http status 200
d) View details your logs, check your request and response is correct.
Things to take care of from
Jenkins Side:-
1) Make sure repository mentioned in bitbucket webhook is used in Jenkins job.
2) In SCM option, activate/select Poll SCM option, don't mention anything in the schedule, leave it blank.
3) configure rest job,
Whenever your git repo observes any change an automatic build will get triggered in Jenkins. By default push trigger is activated and if you want to activate other action, please select those events while creating webhook.
***to specify the branch in repository webhook:-
http://yourserver/git/notifyCommit?url=<URL of the Git repository>[&branches=branch1[,branch2]*][&sha1=<commit ID>]
Cheers,
Is your Jenkins URL accessible from your bitbucket server? If yes that it should be fairly simple to do it. You add the webhook in your repository as http://<url-of-jenkins>/git/notifyCommit?url=<url-of-repository>. When jenkins receives this POST, it automatically triggers builds on those jobs that use this git repo with that URL you give in webhook.
But you also need to make sure your Build Schedule is set to empty for those jobs. otherwise it wont get triggered. You can specify a branch in webhook URL too
See the Push Notification from repository here
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin
For anyone here after July 2022, here are the simple steps I followed to make it work.
Create a live Jenkins URL
First, create a tunnel from a live URL to your local Jenkins URL using ngrok because using locahost:8080 directly as your webhook URL on bitbucket will simply not work as bitbucket does not recognize your local computer.
ps: ngrok claims to be the fastest way to put anything on the internet and I agree,
you can use it beyond Jenkins once you know the trick,
such as quickly handling out your localhost react app for testing by your friends
out of your local network
To do this is simple. For Linux:
Install ngrok snap install ngrok
Add authtoken ngrok config add-authtoken <token>
Don't have an auth token, sign up
Start a tunnel on your Jenkins port eg ngrok http 8080
To know more and for other OS, check ngrok download page
You will then get a response like
ngrok (Ctrl+C to quit)
Hello World! https://ngrok.com/next-generation
Session Status online
Account <your email>#<domain>.com (Plan: <plan type>)
Version 3.0.6
Region Europe (eu)
Latency 162ms
Web Interface <web interface url>
Forwarding https://<your-assigned-host>.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8080
Basically, the web interface URL on click gives you a web interface to inspect all the requests being tunnelled from your ngrok live URL to your local host.
Forwarding URL is basically a proxy to your localhost, so when you want to configure webhook, instead of using locahost:8080, you replace it with ngrok URL eg https://syue-162-34-12-01.eu.ngrok.io and all requests get tunnelled to localhost:8080
Hook up the URL on bitbucket cloud
Secondly, configure your Bitbucket repository with a Webhook, using URL JENKINS_URL/bitbucket-hook/ (no need for credentials but do remember the trailing slash) eg https://syue-162-34-12-01.eu.ngrok.io/bitbucket-hook/
If you are using bitbucket server and not cloud or you want to know more, the bitbucket plugin documentation for Jenkins is pretty straightforward and easily understandable, see bitbucket plugin
then you can inspect all your webhook requests on the web interface URL or via your terminal as well as check your build logs on Jenkins via your localhost port or ngrok live url.
Disclaimer: I have not figured out how to enable build only when a specific branch change but you can configure jenkins to only build a specific branch or any branch created as your need may demand, check Source Code Management and Build Triggers
