Unable to delete windows workspace due to busy git pack file

XMLWordPrintable

      Most of our jenkins jobs which are running on the Windows systems are failing due to issues in "deleting the workspace".

      ERROR::

      7:07:03 Deleting project workspace... 
Cannot delete workspace: java.io.IOException: Unable to delete D:\Jenkins\workspace\Ifl GnB Server 
Gerrit Voter\.git\objects\pack\pack-0a42cbec0651000a728565330f096a38e565b10b.pack

      The workaround is that we have go manually kill the process and re-start the jenkins services & finally re-trigger the job.

      But we need permanent solution for this , could you please support us here?

          ioannis I have never seen the menu whose screenshot you attached. What plugin provides that menu?

          What is the functionality it is providing?

          Is there a reason you're using a form of deletion which leaves files in the directory, but removes the .git repository?

          Indeed danielbeck , MarkeWaite! This is from the Workspace Cleanup plugin.
          But I have noticed a similar issue even trying a post build custom groovy cleanup script. The file that fails to delete is always the xml configuration file used by the Summary Display plugin, so I start suspecting it may have something to do with the particular plugin.

          What do you think? Thanks!

          You'll need to submit a bug report against that plugin (and any other plugin which you discover has files open at the time you need to delete files).

          Alternately, sometimes you can switch away from Windows to a Unix variant so that you aren't blocked from deleting files which are left open due to file handling bugs in plugins.

          hujirong you need to submit a bug report against the git changelog plugin if that is the one which allows you to see the problem. As far as I can tell, the file leaks in the git plugin and the git client plugin are all resolved.
