a problem with old jenkins

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

Jenkinsapi 0.3.11

Jenkins 2.190.3

SUMMARY

jenkins_url = "http://10.10.12.29:8080"
server = Jenkins(jenkins_url, username="********", password="********")
print server.get_jobs()

when I run the code, JenkinsBase.get_data() returns jobs with url http://localhost:8080.like

"jobs": [{
        "_class": "hudson.model.FreeStyleProject",
        "name": "xxx",
        "url": "http://localhost:8080/job/xxxx/",
        "color": "aborted"
    }, {
        "_class": "hudson.model.FreeStyleProject",
        "name": "yyyy",
        "url": "http://localhost:8080/job/yyyy/",
        "color": "blue"
    }
}

but the 10.10.12.29 is not my ip, then Jenkins.py raises an exception.

@gittor maybe you want to try https://api4jenkins.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/example.html#jenkins

Hello, it could be a Jenkins misconfiguration. What is configured for "Manage Jenkins-> Configure System -> Jenkins URL"? It should be set explicitly to http://10.10.12.29:8080

Thank you. Now I'm curious about why jenkins behaves like this. Why it doesn't read the computer's ip

[gjabouley-invn]

Jenkins cannot know its own url, assuming you can host it:

• as simple ip:port
• using an http proxy front-end (nginx, apache)
• using a domain
• ...

Best practice is to set the url to access Jenkins in this field. It is then used to generate urls in email for example, and also in http headers.

Thank you all
