"ERROR: Failed to parse svn info for external" SVN error causes every other build to fail

    • Windows server 2012, Jenkins 1.628, Subversion plugin 2.5.3

      When building one of our projects, we get the dreaded:

      ERROR: Failed to parse svn info for external

      Note that this is an external to an external, if it makes any sense.

      This causes every other build to fail. Very odd.

      The full error is:

      ERROR: Failed to parse svn info for external

          Walter Gates added a comment -

          I found this Jira after encountering a similar error. For me, the issue was resolved by setting the Jenkins subversion plugin to use a newer version of svn.

           

          Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Subversion -> Subversion Workspace Version : Set to 1.8
