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 have the following initial situation:
I have a Docker container running Jenkins 2.379
This Jenkins has the Bitbucket Server Integration and the Bitbucket Branch Sourch Plugin installed
The connection to the Bitbucket server seems to work
I also set up a multibranch pipeline that listens to the repository in the connected Bitbucket server instance
And I have set the Scan Multibranch Pipeline Trigger to All pushes.
Finally, it seems that Jenkins has correctly implemented the webhook in the corresponding Bitbucket project.
Changes to some configurations of the multibranch pipeline trigger the scan process, which works properly. If there are changes in the code of the corresponding branch during a push, the build is triggered.
Clicking the "Scan Multibranch Pipeline Now" button has the same result.
But if I just push some code changes into a branch, nothing happens. My pipeline does not start automatically and no build process is started with the changes made.
Goal: Every push a developer does in a branch of this project should trigger the scan for new branches in Jenkis and the build process for new branches or those where something has changed.
I have found the problem/solution. As I said, my Jenkins runs in a Docker container and is hosted locally on my PC (localhost:8080).
Through the credentials, the path from Jenkins into Bitbucket worked and so did creating the webhook. However, for this webhook, the Bitbucket server plugin entered its address (localhost:8080). So now when a push into a Bitbucket repo happens, this webhook was triggered on Bitbucket's localhost:8080 (so presumably Bitbucket itself and not Jenkins).
The solution was now quite simple. I used a tool called ngrok to make my localhost:8080 (on which Jenkins runs) accessible via a URL from the internet.
I then only had to store this URL in Jenkis in system configurations and adapt the webhook in my Bitbucket repository.
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've followed this gitlab tutorial link, to connect my jenkins server to Gitlab.
Everyting went fine, and I've :
created a personnal access token in my GitLab profile
created a GitLab API Token using the my GitLab access token in jenkins system configuration as stated in the tutorial
create a freestyle jenkins job and Choose my GitLab connection from the dropdown
checked the Build when a change is pushed to GitLab checkbox.
checked the Accepted Merge Request Events and Closed Merge Request Events checkboxes
generated a secret token from the above freestyle project
use the freestyle jenkins project secret token to create a webhook in the GitLab project repository integration settings
Till there everything went fine.
Then I added and push code including a jenkinsFile to my GitLab repository, and get to the Jenkins WebUI to view the build status, but the pipeline shown green saying build success, while nothing happened, no code has been retrieved from GitLab (as shown in the attached console output screenshot), thus no jenkinsFile executed nor error message shown.
I tried to run the buils manually from WebUI but same result, no way to trigger my pipeline on git push events from GitLab
I thought may be I should select Git in Source Code Management section (I left it to None as the tutorial doesn't mention it) but if I choose Git as SCM I cannot select my GitLab API Token credentials, seeming like we cannot use GitLab plugin (API Token) and Git plugin for the same build project.
SO how should I proceed to be able build my jenkins project from GitLab with a jenkinsFile, using GitLab API Token?
Does the GitLab tutorial miss some useful steps?
OK, I think I understand the issue now.
There are two sets of credentials: GitLab API token for access to GitLab Webhooks and a separate one for cloning the git repo during builds.
So we can't use the GitLab API token for cloning the repository. For this you have to use either a SSH key or a Username/Password combination. Furthermore this dropdown is part of the git plugin not the gitlab plugin.
So the gitlab plugin can't tell which credentials are available as credentials for this dropdown.
I am trying to create a webhook in BitBucket to trigger a build in Jenkins, but when I enter my Jenkins URL, and I test the connection, I get the error "Unable to connect to the URL specified, check the host and port are correct." I am using the URL http://localhost:8080/bitbucket-hook/ (with the last back slash included) and I can confirm that in Jenkins, my "Jenkins URL" is set to http://localhost:8080/. In Jenkins, I have installed the plugin "BitBucket Server Integration", and under Configure System -> Bitbucket Server Integration, I have connected to the Bitbucket server (and when I test the connection, it says "Jenkins can connect with the Bitbucket Server", so I am pretty sure Jenkins is configured correctly). I don't have credentials set up in Jenkins for the Bitbucket Server configuration, is this necessary even though when I test the connection, it seems to be able to connect? Is my url for the BitBucket webhook correct?? Is there anything else you can think of that I might not have configured correctly so when I test the connection on BitBucket, it will connect properly?
I just ran through a similar setup, to answer to your questions:
yes, I think you will have to use credentials of a user having admin permissions on the repository upon which you want to create the webhook.
Read below, anyway the Webhook URL I got is in the form < jenkins-url >/bitbucket-server-webhook/trigger
The pipeline
According to my experience, the creation of the Webhook is demanded to Jenkins, you don't have to do anything on your own other than creating a new Pipeline object.
Having set the Bitbucket Server Integration configuration up in fact is not enough for the creation of the Webhook, to do that you have to
create a new Pipeline
flag the Build Trigger "Bitbucket Server trigger build after push"
in the Pipeline section, use as Definition "Pipeline Script from SCM" and fill the other fields according to the configuration you have set before.
Point 3 is saying you are retrieving your Pipeline definition from a file stored in Bitbucket itself, you can also customise the name of the file Jenkins is going to look for (by default this should be Jenkinsfile), and use the "Pipeline Syntax" option to get the snippet of code you will use as step in your Jenkinsfile.
Once you have created your Pipeline in Jenkins, the webhook should appear in the right section in your Bitbucket Server repository.
I'm having trouble getting my webhook in bitbucket server to start a Jenkins job. I've read through the other answered questions on here and can't get it going.
Bitbucket setup:
No special plugins installed
In repository settings I have a webhook set up
URL: http://[my jenkins url]/bitbucket-hook/ (yes I have the trailing slash)
Repo Push event selected
Jenkins setup:
Bitbucket plugin installed
Created new job
Set SCM to Git and added repo details
Set branches to build to either ** or refs/heads/rob-jenkins (a branch in git)
Build when a change is pushed to bitbucket selected
What I do:
I make a change to a file in rob-jenkins branch, push and the job is not started in Jenkins.
What I see:
In bitbucket, repo settings, webhooks I can see the webhook fired as soon as the commit is pushed. It has a 200 http status code, response body is empty.
In Jenkins I've set up a logger for
com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.BitbucketHookReceiver
com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.BitbucketJobProbe
com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.BitbucketPayloadProcessor
com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.BitBucketTrigger
And when I look at those logs I can see only 1 entry from com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.BitbucketHookReceiver
Received commit hook notification : {"eventKey":"repo:refs_changed","date":"2018-05-22T12:18:11+1000","actor":{"name":"xxxxxx","emailAddress":"xxxxxx#xxxxxx.com","id":53,"displayName":"xxxxxx","active":true,"slug":"xxxxxxx","type":"NORMAL"},"repository":{"slug":"xxxxx","id":1,"name":"xxxxx","scmId":"git","state":"AVAILABLE","statusMessage":"Available","forkable":true,"project":{"key":"SS","id":2,"name":"xxxxx","description":"xxxxxx","public":false,"type":"NORMAL"},"public":false},"changes":[{"ref":{"id":"refs/heads/rob-jenkins","displayId":"rob-jenkins","type":"BRANCH"},"refId":"refs/heads/rob-jenkins","fromHash":"1d9ad42fa404c893853094b0072e5b839f787589","toHash":"9bf7dc873f355259e4338ee80afbd246ecbb48a9","type":"UPDATE"}]}
There are no other entries in the log.
In the job itself, the BitBucket Hook Log screen just says "Polling has not run yet."
No idea why it isn't triggering the Jenkins job... what am I missing?
I've tried setting the Poll SCM manually and that didn't make a difference.
I've done a manual build and it works fine
as commented by #tomas-bjerre the resolution was to use a different plugin
I would recommend using thie plugin instead: github.com/jenkinsci/generic-webhook-trigger-plugin – Tomas Bjerre yesterday
No plugin needed. Just add a post-recieve hook under your repo in Bitbucket. On Jenkins, under Build Triggers, Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from scripts) Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from scripts) and specify an Authentication Token. A bash or python script can be used for the hook. Anytime a git push is run (not just a commit), you trigger a build!
