git client plugin occasionally fails with "text file busy" error

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Occasionally I get the following git error early in some of my pipeline builds, but have not been able to reproduce the issue during testing.

      Perhaps the createUnixGitSSH method in CliGitAPIImpl.java should explicitly close the PrintWriter before returning?  Or maybe it just needs to flush the stream, and the script should be executed as "sh tmpfile.sh" instead of "./tmpfile.sh" ?

      using GIT_SSH to set credentials 
       > git ls-remote -h -t git.example.org:/var/git/foo.git # timeout=10
      hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git ls-remote -h -t git.example.org:/var/git/foo.git" returned status code 128:
      stdout: 
      stderr: fatal: cannot exec '/tmp/ssh4044675960910064496.sh': Text file busy

          sebawo when I've resolved the blocking bugs that are identified in the git client plugin 3.0 milestone and in the git plugin 4.0 milestone. You're welcome to help test the beta versions and report your results of testing the beta versions.

          Can I only upgrade git-client plugin to v3.0.0 (right now we have git plugin v3.9.1) !? OR we should upgrade git client plugin 3.0.0 and git plugin 4.0.0 together !!

          Upgrade the two plugins together. Git plugin 3.x might work with git client plugin 3.0.0, but you'll be the first (and possibly only) person to test that configuration. It is intended that git plugin 4.0.0 and git client plugin 3.0.0 upgrade together.

          It is much better to travel with large groups of people in this case. Large groups of people have tested git client plugin 3.0.0 with git plugin 4.0.0. I'm not aware of anyone that has tested git client plugin 3.0.0 with git plugin 3.x releases.
