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.

I have created a Jenkins job which executes a jar. This jar starts another process from within it. On aborting[X] the Jenkins jobs from UI it is not killing the processes started on the slave machines, whereas on console it shows Aborted. Please help!
You can simply delete the job completely:
http://MY_SERVER/job/JOB_NAME/doDelete
Keep in mind that this will completely remove the current build and you will no longer have any access to it.
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.
I am trying to run some automated acceptance tests on a windows VM but am running into some problems.
Here is what I want, a job which runs on a freshly reverted VM all the time. This job will get an MSI installer from an upstream job, install it, and then run some automated tests on it, in this case using robotframework (but that doesn't really matter in this case)
I have setup the slave in the vSphere plugin to only have one executor and to disconnect after one execution. On disconnect is shutsdown and reverts. My hope was this meant that it would run one Jenkins job and then revert, the next job would get a fresh snapshot, and so would the next and so on.
The problem is if a job is in queue waiting for the VM slave, as soon as the first job finishes the next one starts, before the VM has shutdown and reverted. The signal to shutdown and revert has however been sent, so the next job is almost immedieatly failed as the VM shuts down.
Everything works fine as long as jobs needing the VM aren't queued while another is running, but if they are I run into this problem.
Can anyone suggest a way to fix this?
Am I better off using vSphere build steps rather than setting up a build slave in this fashion, if so how exactly do I go about getting the same workflow to work using buildsteps and (i assume) pipelined builds.
Thanks
You can set a 'Quiet period' - it's in Advanced Project Options when you create a build. You should set it at the parent job, and this is the time to wait before executing the dependent job
If you'll increase the wait time, the server will go down before the second job starts...
Turns out the version of the vSphere plugin I was using was outdated, this bug problem is fixed in the newer version
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.
we have jenkins project. use case:
jenkins triggers the build
slave agent builds application
server with slave agent goes to reboot (for any reason, for example, problem with electricity, somebody rebooted it, resource shortage and so on)
after that jenkins reports about failed build. how can we automatically relaunch application building in jenkins when slave agent recovered from failure?
There are two aspects to this issue -
Jenkins Server needs to reschedule the build that failed(when the slave-machine crashed).
Install the Naginator Plugin
Set it to rebuild whatever job you have set on the problematic slave
Jenkins Slave needs to restart automatically as soon as its host is up again.
On Windows, for example, you need to set it with a service that starts automatically
Note the Naginator Plugin doesn't know what caused the build to fail,
so it will try to rebuild any build that fails.
To solve this, scan the log for an indication that the slave crashed
and set a regular expression (in the Naginator) to catch it.
Cheers
