Fail running web api

[lawrencegs]

I run this on ubuntu 15.04

ansible-playbook -i localhost -c local jenkins.yml

Here is the jenkins.yml playbook

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - role: Stouts.nginx
    - role: Stouts.jenkins
      sudo: yes

  vars:
    jenkins_proxy: nginx
    jenkins_proxy_hostname: jenkins.redacted.com
    jenkins_ssh_key_file: "files/ssh_key/redacted-bot"
    jenkins_jobs:
    - name: mixer
      repo: https://github.com/klen/mixer.git
      command: make test

And the result is:

Should work now.

This appears to still be broken. When using the v3.4.4 build installed from GitHub, or when using the v3.4.2 version installed from Galaxy, the script keeps failing to talk to the restarted server, because the server returns a 403 error. This is because the curl statement isn't using credentials, so it won't get in.

The server is online and can be accessed from the Web UI, but you need to provide the creds first:

Does the role need to disable auth to run correctly?

@twistedpair That should work thanks to the jenkins.install.runSetupWizard=false java argument: https://github.com/Stouts/Stouts.jenkins/blob/3.4.4/defaults/main.yml#L65 Maybe you are overriding the jenkins_java_args variable?

[lauflabs]

@mickaeltr, you're right, I was. However, that's because I was trying to remove the following line from /etc/default/jenkins, since it caused classpath exceptions that prevented starting Jenkins.

JENKINS_ARGS="$JENKINS_ARGS --preferredClassLoader=java.net.URLClassLoader"

I'll do some line replace kungfu to get all of these working.

I'm not running any other Java processes on this node, but perhaps other people would need that line? Removing it should fix things for anyone else impacted with this exception.

@lauflabs I don't have this in JENKINS_ARGS (see https://github.com/Stouts/Stouts.jenkins/blob/3.4.4/templates/jenkins.j2#L72 ). Maybe you should do a clean install using Stouts.jenkins 3.4.4
