Environment
-
CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise - Managed controller
-
Multi-Branch Project Plugin 0.5 and 0.5.1
-
Windows
Resolution
This is related to the latest version 0.5.1 of the Multi-Branch Project Plugin. It includes a migration process on start up. This process go recursively through the $JENKINS_HOME/jobs
folder, looking for config.xml
files. Unfortunately in Windows this process fails when it encounters symbolic links. It is captured by JENKINS-36896
.
Upgrading to version 0.6+ should fix the issue.
