[JENKINS-47052] JNLP Slave connection error

[timja]

Using version 2.73.1 when I try to connect a JNLP slave running on windows I get an error: The field has an invalid value. The master is running the official docker version.

The Launch file is: Jenkins projectwindows-int-workDirc:\jenkins-internalDirremoting-urlhttps://ci-ndp.cdp.net/

 

and the Exception lists as:

BadFieldException[ The field has an invalid value: ,]

I have the exact same issue

eratolekov:

Replace in jnlp-file

 -workDir
 

with

 -workDir
 .

as workaround.

[timja]

same:

Another workaround is to fill something in "Custom WorkDir path" field in the agent's configuration
