Triggering a build with "Current build parameters" fails when the current build parameters includes a node name

XMLWordPrintable

      In the process of discussing JENKINS-12155, I realized there was an underlying problem with the way these plugins interact.

      Triggering a build of a job with "Current build parameters" doesn't work if there's a node parameter involved.
      It creates this error:
      Building remotely on [node]
      FATAL: null
      java.lang.NullPointerException
      at org.jvnet.jenkins.plugins.nodelabelparameter.NodeParameterValue.createBuildWrapper(NodeParameterValue.java:82)
      at hudson.model.ParametersAction.createBuildWrappers(ParametersAction.java:74)
      at hudson.model.Build$RunnerImpl.doRun(Build.java:130)
      at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractRunner.run(AbstractBuild.java:460)
      at hudson.model.Run.run(Run.java:1404)
      at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:46)
      at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:88)
      at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:230)

      I discovered the only way to pass a node parameter to another job is to trigger it individually with a "NodeLabel parameter". This breaks the "Current build parameters" functionality.

      WORKAROUND:
      To achieve the same effect as "Current build parameters", I have to choose a NodeLabel parameter with node=$NODE_NAME, and copy all of my previously defined parameters into "Predefined parameters". This is a minor pain.

          to be more precise, this occurs if the target job does not have any parameters set.
