    • Jenkins 1.565.3, Configuration Slicing Plugin 1.38.3, Java jdk1.7.0_71, Starting the war with java -jar jenkins.war

      It seems, that my 100 jobs are more than the configuration slicing plugin can stand. If I want to configure jobs (even if just one job would be affected) I get the following error.

          [JENKINS-25378] java.lang.IllegalStateException: "Form too large ... >200000"

          Eric Düll added a comment -

          Weird is, that the configuration form does not only list my 100 jobs, but also its modules

          e.g. jobname = myproject_c-w

          myproject_c-w
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject-api
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject-assemblies
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject-batch-scenario
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject-batch-example-batch
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject-batch-example-business
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject-integration-parent
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject-spring-batch-processing
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject-ui-wicket
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:myproject--common
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:simple-app-spring-batch-parent
          myproject_c-w/com.test.package:batchplatform-parent
          

          ... and sadly that is one of my jobs with the smallest amount of modules. Removing the modules from the list would help.

          Duplicates the first page of Google search results for "form too large".

          Sorry, but I don't get yours or mwebbers point. The first page of the Google job results led me to here, opening an issue for the configuration slicing plugin as requested.

          In https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-20327 you said that this issue is not a core problem but a problem of the job configuration slicing plugin. The next suggestion of mwebber was: (16/Okt/14 3:26 PM) @marco, you should open a separate issue for the job config slicing plugin (this issue is for the core problem). Also, if you read the comments above, you will find a workaround.

          And just to remeber: I do not have millions of jobs. I just have 100. Why does the configuration slicing plugin lists all the modules of a job at all? The unnecessary listing of modules causes this problem. From my point of view this issue is not fixed at all, I just have a workaroud and it would be great if you could reopen it or at least create a follow up issue.

          To clarify, I meant that Marco's comment did not refer to the issue the other report was about (moving the goal posts after a change was committed isn't useful); not necessarily that it's a bug in JCS.

          Why does the configuration slicing plugin lists all the modules of a job at all?

          This should have been fixed in 1.37.1, released over a year ago. Looks like JENKINS-18455 was reopened because of this, and it's tracked there.


          The problem is that the plugin sends huge forms by design (that's how the UI works) if there are many projects, and current Winstone-Jetty doesn't like that. If that is what this report is about, then please reopen (and clarify that in the issue description). A redesigned form may help here.

          But since the plugin has no control over embedded Winstone-Jetty, it cannot increase the limit on its own. (And FWIW, that is already being discussed in https://github.com/jenkinsci/winstone/pull/20 so maybe this is soon obsolete anyway)

          To just get rid of the problem (one instance's DoS protection breaks another instance's config forms), you can set the System property as described in the other issue reports.
