Ruby Runtime 0.12 + Jenkins 1.598 and Above Not Saving Job Parameters

[nikki-rally]

Hello,

In Jenkins 1.598 and greater + ruby-runtime 0.12 job configs are no longer saving for plugins that use the ruby-runtime plugin. Env is Mac OS X Yosemite.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Using a Jenkins >= 1.598
2. Install the Yammer plugin.
3. Create a test job
4. Add Yammer as a Post Build Action, put some string in the field
5. Save the job
6. Go back into the job and you will see that the Post Build Action has not saved. If you open the job config.xml you will also observe that the publisher is not getting written.

This has also been observed in the Chef plugin, which also appears to rely on the ruby-runtime plugin (see open issue: melezhik/chef-plugin#4 ).

Hi!

I got the same issue with this plugin : https://github.com/codevise/jenkins-mysql-job-databases-plugin

Jenkins 1.597 logs :

INFOS: Jenkins is fully up and running
getConfigPage -> /builders/create_database/config

We can see that two instances are created :

instance created: #<Builders::CreateDatabase:0x16174a6d> (hudson.tasks.BuildWrapper)
instance created: #<Publishers::DropDatabase:0x5bf32ac9> (hudson.tasks.Publisher)

Only one instance is created :

Something seems to be lost around here (or before) : https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins.rb/blob/master/ruby-runtime/lib/jenkins/model/descriptor.rb#L57

Hi there!

Any news?

[nikki-rally]

@n-rodriguez What environment are you seeing this on? So far we have only observed it on Mac OS X Yosemite.

Thx for your info! Attempting to trace down here as well.
Suspect lines 66-71 in JobPropertyDescriptor.java ( https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/84c76253862a2f36f813a7aa45b77d99c1616be4/core/src/main/java/hudson/model/JobPropertyDescriptor.java )isn't working right or isn't being called as this appears to be where the newInstance method your reference above is being called from in Jenkins (maybe?). No recent changes to that file though.

@n-rodriguez What environment are you seeing this on?

I get this behavior on Debian Wheezy (Jenkins prod install with OpenJDK 6) and on ArchLinux (Jenkins development with OpenJDK 8).

Good find! An you're right : the newInstance method is not called :

Think I found the problem commit. Culprit appears to be - jenkinsci/jenkins@b322594?diff=unified . After reverting the Descriptor.java file to the commit before this ( c01333c346176c93e8cbf93b5822978d8d2c0bff ) I see a return to normal behavior with the plugin build parameters saving as they're supposed to.

[sunggun-yu]

is this fixed?

[n-rodriguez]

@sunggun-yu : seems to be with Jenkins 1.607

[sunggun-yu]

@n-rodriguez
Thank you. but, I have same issue with 1.608 and 1.609.

[nikki-rally]

Yes, we experience this problem with 1.598 and above. As noted previously this appears to be due to a reverted commit. We need the ruby-runtime author or core Jenkins authors to weigh in on the course that needs to be taken to fix this.
