jenkins-cli connection mode http WARNING: Warning: -user ignored unless using -ssh

[olgafandeliuk]

Hello,

Chef-client fails to run on jenkins-master due to inability to set username and password for http connection mode.

When I test it locally, all looks good:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -jar /var/chef/cache/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 -http -auth jenkinsusername:jenkinspassword who-am-i
Authenticated as: jenkins-username
Authorities:
  authenticated
  RADIUS
  All Users - LDAP

Cookbooks are set according to the doc:

default['jenkins']['executor']['protocol'] = 'http'
default['jenkins']['executor']['cli_user'] = 'jenkins-username'

But chef-client fails with the following error:

Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed

Remoting mode ssh isn't an option for us. But looks like the cli_user attribute works only for ssh, but not for http

Thanks
