Job with status "pending description" do not start

    • None
    • Jenkins ver. 2.73.2 / Windows
      Parameterized trigger plug-in 2.35.2

      Called Job by the parameterized options do not start after migration from Jenkins ver. 2.60.2 to Jenkins ver. 2.73.2 with all plugins updates.

      The Job is stuck with executor status "pending description" and has no console logs.

      When started alone with parameters the target Jobs works fine.

      With V2.35.2 fail when V2.35.1 works well, so there is a regression in hte last published version that leads to this situation.

          Found this when coming back to version 2.35.1 :

          Parameterized trigger plug-in 2.35.2

          Got a similar issue here:

          When using parameterized trigger to trigger jobs as subprojects we - not always but mostly - also get pending jobs "pending - description" which never would run.

          Downgrading the parameterized trigger plug-in to 2.35.1 resolved our issue. We use Jenkins 2.60.3.

          Imho version 2.35.2 should not be used. Anyway there's no change history for version 2.35.2.

          I can confirm this behaviour. With 2.89.3 LTS and parameterized-trigger 2.35.2 we had stucked freestyle jobs triggered by other jobs. Proposed workaround by macdrega solved it.

          The workaround did not work for me. There is some other interaction here that is causing the issue. 

          I get nothing in the logs for this. 

          In my case I am running Jenkins 2.121.1 and it is getting into this Pending - Description  when launching a job from a Multi-Job. It happens every time, making multi-job worthless.

          I am going to Clone this to the Multi-job plugin as well.

          I am also seeing this in the latest version and in 2.35.1. I have version 1.30 of multijob.
          and version 2.12.1.1 of jenkins on windows.

          This has gotten stranger for me. I also have this problem now by just using the Trigger/Call Builds on another project using Parameters.

          The really strange part is I have other jobs that I use that same call in and they still work. I'm not sure what the issue is. I've tried removing all the params and it will still get stuck.

          I have 2 downstream jobs from the same job, one of them runs and the other hangs with pending description. I just downgraded to 2.35.1 and upgraded multijob to 1.31 with no change in behavior. I did notice that if I kill the top job(upstream) the pending job runs.
          So, something in the upstream job is holding the downstream one in pending.
