Description

The constructor for the ConnectionHelper class calls the 'connectionRetry()' method that opens up a connection to the perforce server regardless of whether the connection is needed or not.

Example in action:

Monitor traffic to the perforce server using a network packet monitor such as wireshark
Connect to Jenkins from a browser.
Find a job that uses the Jenkins Perforce plugin
Click on ANY previous ran build from the left size of the window (i.e. items in the 'Build History')

Wireshark will report a large amount of traffic to the Perforce server

OK you might think that this isn't important, but if you have a Groovy script that parses old build jobs (checking say the environment variables that were used by the build) then each and every job that the script checks will generate hundreds of perforce network connections which are completely pointless. (slowing down the script in the process)

An example groovy script that can be ran from the 'Script Console' window (Start wireshark and monitor network traffic to the perforce server before running the script)

String jobName = 'A_valid_Jenkins_job_that_uses_the_perforce_plugin';

FreeStyleProject buildJob = Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName(jobName);
if(buildJob) {
     for(FreeStyleBuild job in buildJob.builds) {
		println job.url;
		job.getEnvironment(TaskListener.NULL).each { k, v ->
			println '  | ' + k + ' = ' + v
		}
		println '';
	}
}

There is absolutely no reason why the above script should generate any network traffic to the perforce server.

(NOTE: Re-running the groovy script a 2nd time might produce less network traffic since I think there might be some caching somewhere)

Wrong plugin. Perforce-plugin is deprecated and no longer supported. Please make sure you are filing tickets under the correct plugin (p4-plugin).

Hi James Bateman - Sorry for the delay. This one slipped through our monitoring script that looks for new unowned bugs for 'p4-plugin' every hour.

I think this we made a change where to save disk space on the Jenkins server we no longer keep all the change history. I'll try and repro this here.

Confirmed. One invocation of the above script against a freestyle job that had 8 successful executions caused 24 P4 commands to be run:

Have a suspicion that the variable code gets ready to retrieve any extra information that's needed from the Perforce server but then doesn't need to run 'p4 describe' etc. Passing to developers.

Reproduction Steps:

(1) Create an empty Jenkins system.

(2) Add a freestyle job called 'Freestyle1'.

(3) Execute 10 builds of the freestyle job.

(4) Delete the existing P4D log.

(5) Open 'Manage Jenkins' > ' Script Console'.

(6) Enter the following text and click run:

String jobName = 'Freestyle1';

FreeStyleProject buildJob = Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName(jobName);
if(buildJob) {
     for(FreeStyleBuild job in buildJob.builds) {
		println job.url;
		job.getEnvironment(TaskListener.NULL).each { k, v ->
			println '  | ' + k + ' = ' + v
		}
		println '';
	}
}

(7) Check the P4D log immediately.

Important Note: There is some Jenkins caching going on here so the behavior above only occurs the first time you run the script against a job. Not sure if that cache expires after an hour/day/week/next restart.

Have a suspicion that the variable code gets ready to retrieve any extra information that's needed from the Perforce server but then doesn't need to run 'p4 describe' etc.

Hi James Bateman,

"getEnvironment" fetches various Perforce variables including p4ticket, unfortunately some of our customers require a Perforce ticket to be added to the environment for their scripts. If you set the "Hide TICKET" option in the "Perforce: Secure P4_TICKET" section on the Jenkins configuration page, this will prevent Jenkins from getting a ticket when you call the "getEnvironment" function.

Not fixing due to being able to prevent login -s being called by enabling the "hide tickets" option.
