"No permission to view config history" when pressing "Config changed since last build" badge on job page

XMLWordPrintable

      Problem started this week after we upgraded Jenkins (1.511 -> 1.514) and JobConfigHistory (2.3 -> 2.4).

      On a job page, e.g. https://jenkins.mydomain.se/myProject/job/myJob/ when I Press the badge for "Config changed since last build" I get the error message:

      "Job Configuration Difference
      No permission to view config history"

      In addition to that I get logged out from Jenkins.

      In the logs I can see:

      --------

      Sep 23, 2013 2:24:40 PM hudson.ExpressionFactory2$JexlExpression evaluate
      WARNING: Caught exception evaluating: it.getLines() in /3gsim/view/CSI%20Wall1/job/LSV%20status/jobConfigHistory/showDiffFiles. Reason: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to get history from: null

      --------

      If I instead go to the Job Configuration History page, e.g. https://jenkins.mydomain.se/myProject/job/myJob/jobConfigHistory

      and select the two latest versions there I have no problems getting the diff.

      The links used on these two pages are almost identical. On the Job config History page it uses https, from the job page it uses http.

          Stefan,

          do you know how Jenkins is setup? Something like Tomcat behind Apache? Is "Jenkins' URL" in "Jenkins Location" configured to use https? That information would help.

          Thx.

          Hi Mirko!

          I do not know how the Jenkins server is setup, it is managed by our IT-department.

          But I can conform that after changing the "Jenkins' URL" in "Jenkins Location" to use https instead of http, the problem disappeared!

          Thank you very much for your speedy help!

          I'm facing the same issue. We do not use https, so that didn't solve the issue.
          What information do you need?

          ricktw: Could you give us information about the installed JobConfigHistory version, the Jenkins core version and the log, please? Thank you.

          jochenafuerbacher: Well, the issue is not reproducible anymore. Seems that one on the recent updates (Jenkins, Job config history, other?) solved my issues.
