Job aborted when updating the config.xml from API [message #1705059] Tue, 11 August 2015 12:43 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
When the job is in progress of building, sending the API to update it's config.xml will get the job interrupted. This marks the job as RED, but no error messages are displayed anywhere.

Is there a requirement that we should only update the config.xml from API when the job is idle ? Sometimes need to update tens of jobs in batches from script, hard to wait until all jobs are in idle.

Thanks for the help.
Hudson version; 3.3.0

When you send the config.xml to Hudson, the Job object is immediately updated with the data in the posted XML. Since the Job object is involved in the build, updating the Job object causing the build to interrupt. Since the build lost reference to the original object, the build stops, but I guess nothing is logging the interruption.

Unfortunately, since Hudson immediately update the job object, the Job should not be updated when it is building, else the build will unexpectedly interrupted.

Thank you very much for confirming. That's why I'm thinking about to wrap the API to perform additional check if the last build is in "building" to move on updating.

But how does the config update work from web UI when the job is building? My assumption was they should behave the same way if both goes via API.

It behaves the same way. Underneath the same API is used.

That's weird then, because the config can be updated from the web page when the job is building.
