    Description

      Builds disappear from Jenkins some time after a project has been renamed.

      We upgraded from 1.492 on July 4th and then renamed one build. Four days later we realized the renamed build had lost some or all of its builds. We recovered the builds by reloading from disk this morning. Later in the afternoon, another project was renamed, and some of its builds went missing too.

      Here are the builds of the renamed job on disk:

      $ ls -l
total 25

lrwxrwxrwx 1 jenkins jenkins   1 Jul  9 14:23 lastFailedBuild -> 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jenkins jenkins   1 Jul  9 14:23 lastStableBuild -> 5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jenkins jenkins   1 Jul  4 11:18 lastSuccessfulBuild -> 5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jenkins jenkins   2 Jul  9 14:23 lastUnstableBuild -> -1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jenkins jenkins   1 Jul  9 14:23 lastUnsuccessfulBuild -> 4

      The disk shows 5 builds, 1 through 5, but the GUI only shows 4 and 5, it is missing 1, 2, and 3.

      JENKINS-19650 contains steps to reliably reproduce the problem.

      How do I debug this? One thing looks odd: the dates on the symbolic links differ from the dates in the build history, and differ from the directories they actually link.

            The LTS 1.532.2 is now available, however after upgrading, I can't authenticate with LDAP.
            It turned out the whole ldap plugins classes missing.
            Copying the the ldap classes from the previous version to:
            <JENKINS_HOME>/plugins/ldap/WEB-INF/classes solved the authentication issue.

            I have logged the issue at:
            https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-21865

            Has anyone successfully tested this fix in the latest LTS build after migrating the older problem jobs/configs over? I'm still seeing my builds disappear in LTS version 1.532.2 when using jobs carried over from my backup. Does it possibly require the creation of a new job to get past this bug?

            @amargono
            BTW, I haven't run into any LDAP issues with this build.

            @mishael you may be seeing a different bug that happens to have similar symptoms but for a completely different reason. File it separately with steps to reproduce if you have them.

            No; and this bug would only ever manifest itself within a single Jenkins session, so after a restart the job would look fine.

            We also have the same problem on 1.542.
            @jglick: I haven't tried upgrading to 1.546 yet, however I noticed that somebody else is still facing the same problem even with 1.547:
