I'm trying to run a job from my Jenkins master to a Virtual Machine with a jenkins slave on it.
What I want is to run tests that are on Quality Center in my Virtual Machine, but when I try to run the jenkins slave this error is happening.
Has anyone ever see it? Do you have any idea how to fix that? Does the master jenkins and the slave need to be in the same domain for it to work?
I just went back to the master jenkins and deleted my current node and created a new one. Them I downloaded the slave again and it worked!
If you're having this problem try this.

My Jenkins master is up and running. I have created a slave node, launched it successfully from the slave machine, and have done the web services installation so that the connection is established on startup of the slave machine. I have also created a "job" that builds successfully in Jenkins.
How do I tell Jenkins what to actually do on my slave machine? I want to use Jenkins to run an IntelliJ test suite (Selenium and Cucumber) on the slave machine, but haven't been able to figure out exactly how to get it to do this. Note: I've just started looking into the Seleniumhq plug-in, but I'm not sure if this is what I need or not since I'm working with a remote slave.
Limit where the jobs can run using the 'Restrict where this project can be run' to your slave node.
Distributed Builds in Jenkins
My confusion here stemmed from not having my project connected to a VCS repository. Without it, I couldn't figure out how to build-out my project's workspace in the slave environment from Jenkins. I also didn't understand the concept of adding additional build steps at the time I asked this question.
Once I had the VCS connection set-up (I had to do some finagling with Git/Visual Studio Team Services to get it connected, which is why I went with "none" as my version control option at first), my workspace was built for me on the slave machine when I built the project from Jenkins. Then, I used a combination of build steps ("execute Windows batch command" and "Invoke top-level Maven targets") to carry-out the rest of the project's functions.
I just started using Jenkins. Still not familiar with all its features.
I would like to run a Ranorex test which is on a remote computer. How can I do that from Jenkins?
To execute binaries on a specific host, you can use slaves.
Here is a guide to setup master and slave on windows:f
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Step+by+step+guide+to+set+up+master+and+slave+machines+on+Windows
You will run the slave on the remote computer and connect it to the master.
To run the slave on your remote computer, you have to download the slave.jar and start it on the remote computer. This is described in the wiki article above.
You have to ensure, that your job is executed on the slave. This can be done by labels. You configure a label on the slave and configure the same label on the job too.
Initially, I configured the master and slave connection setup in windows machine by launching Java web start method. And then Created a Job in Master machine. Now my question is how to assign a master job to slave machine to build the job. Please provide me the steps to follows. Thanks you.
And please let me know is slave machine requires master machine URL for Connecting Master Slave Connection setup?
You can tie your job on whichever slave you want.
There is option of "Restrict where this project can be run", You can provide jenkins slave name on which this job should always run.
Answer to your last doubt. There is standard methods to connect slave to master, it depends how are you connecting the slave to master.
I'm running jenkins on my local machine. I need to build and run a project on remote machine as a slave.
I have my project(Java code) in my local machine where the Jenkins is running. So Now when I build the project it looks for the code in my slave machine and says it's not able to find the build.xml in my slave machine.
I want to be able to have Jenkins looks for the code in my local machine and build it in my slave machine and run in the slave machine.
Is that possible? if yes pls help me.
You do not state which version control system you are using? Jenkins has version control plugins for Git, Subversion, etc...
The idea is that you commit and push your changes to your source code repository and the Jenkins slave will automatically pull down the code and compile if anything has changed.
Try the copy artifact plugin. You can create 2 jobs - 1st one to just check out the source code from your repo/version control/workspace. The second job (which runs on the slave restrict where this job can be run inside the job config) can copy those files automatically to the ...remote slave/workspace and then you do whatever you want with them.
This will do what you want, but as Mark O'Çonnor mentions, the idea is you commit the changes to your repository and then the other machine checks it out.
I have Jenkins running and building on a node/slave and archive the artifacts(Post build Action) back to master.
All good, but I need to run a script on the master afterwards - I need to copy the artifact to a IIS site on the master. PostBuildScript plugin only seams to run on the slave.
Should I create a new job to be run afterwards, and if so can I use the Environ variables... or how would you do it?
Thanks in advance

I solved this by creating a new Job running on the server.
