Git plugin should fail build when fetch fails

    • Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Duplicate
    • Icon: Critical Critical
    • git-plugin
    • None
    • hudson version 337 (slave.jar also)
      git version 1.6.3.2
      git plugin version 0.7.3

      The uid on our origin repository's user changed unexpectedly so that the user no longer owned his own home dir. When the slave tried to fetch from the repository using certificates (worked in the past) the certificate failed and git/ssh prompted for password. It failed (no tty, of course) and then the build continued without updating the code. It reported a success at the end. The build should have aborted immediately.

          [JENKINS-5216] Git plugin should fail build when fetch fails

          magnayn added a comment -

          It should be an option, not the default though - since you can pull from many developer machines, if one is turned off, that shouldn't fail the build.

          Yes it should. There's no need to have a continuous integration system if you're never going to update the source trees. I can't conceive of any argument where I would be happy if a build was started and I wasn't told the reason why the latest changes weren't used, in the strongest manner possible.

          At the _very_least_ the build should put a warning up. Anything less would continue without the real problem being solved, more specifically developers thinking their code works when it could be very very broken, and actually their repository is just unreachable.

          Agreed with jlongman
          Build should fail if there is no possibility to get the latest update and it should be default behavior. I believe there is only one repository configurable for the job and most of the time it will be the mainline, therefore if mainline is not accessible or update/fetch/merge has failed - it should fail the build.

          This is very important to fix, please, take a look as soon as possible

          I took a freedom to reassign this to current maintainer.

          Marking this as a duplicate, since I've already fixed this for JENKINS-6902.
