XMLWordPrintable

    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Cannot Reproduce
    • Priority: Critical
    • Component/s: all-changes-plugin
    • Environment:
      Jenkins: 2.440.2
      Java: OpenJDK 17.0.10
      OS: Linux (RHEL 9.2)
      Plugin: all-changes-plugin

      Setup:
      - Jenkins running on VM
      - Jobs stored under $JENKINS_HOME/jobs

      Problem:
      After restarting Jenkins, the config.xml files under $JENKINS_HOME/jobs are missing.
      Some jobs still appear in the Jenkins UI, but their configurations cannot be loaded or are incomplete.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Navigate to $JENKINS_HOME/jobs directory
      2. Check job folders
      3. Observe that config.xml files are missing
      4. Restart Jenkins (if applicable)

      Expected Result:
      Each job directory should contain a config.xml file and Jenkins should load job configurations correctly.

      Actual Result:
      config.xml files are missing from job directories.
      Jenkins cannot properly load or restore job configurations.

      Additional Information:

      • Jenkins: 2.4440.2
      • Plugin: all-changes-plugin
      • OS: Linux

      Command output:
      $ ls -ltr $JENKINS_HOME/jobs
      (total output showing missing config.xml)

      No manual deletion was performed.
      Issue may have occurred after restart/upgrade (if applicable).
