Heleno Valle added a comment - 2011-11-29 12:58 I'm using 1.440 and seeing almost the same symptoms. The differences: 1) I'm using SVN instead of CVS. 2) Job doesn't start periodicaly, it starts only when there are chances in the source, but it always runs once with no changes before running with changes made. It's as if it knows there are changes but can not see them immediately. 3) My job source code has several modules that correspond to diferent directorys inside SVN repository

kutzi added a comment - 2011-11-29 13:15 Heleno, your problem is a different one. On a quick view, I'd say that the clocks of your svn server and your Jenkins server are out of sync. One way to fix this (and definitely a godd idea in any case) is to sync the clocks. Another one is to append @HEAD to your subversion URLs.

Heleno Valle added a comment - 2011-11-30 13:31 Kutzi, you are right! It was the problem here. Since I have no control over the server's time sync, I used the @HEAD solution and it worked out just fine. Thanks very much.

http://jenkins-ci.org/commit/cvs-plugin/1c6ddef1e5c1c3fe9f1a236fe4cc3aa336b8ca21 Log: Merge pull request #5 from mc1arke/master Overhaul of the cvs plugin Changes: Allowing checking out modules from different branch/tags in a single repository ( JENKINS-768 , JENKINS-6812 ) Allowing multiple repositories in a single job i.e. multiple CVS roots ( JENKINS-2638 ) Using a Java CVS Library rather than depend on a system library ( JENKINS-49 , JENKINS-3848 , JENKINS-3756 , JENKINS-1676 ) Use 'rlog' for polling and change-log generation and 'rtag' for tagging ( JENKINS-6312 , JENKINS-10981 , JENKINS-11787 , JENKINS-1847 , JENKINS-1359 , JENKINS-76 , JENKINS-9809 , JENKINS-2710 , JENKINS-5744 , JENKINS-4604 ) Restrict CVS to only check-out configured modules and not other CVS items in the workspace ( JENKINS-7449 , JENKINS-2345 , JENKINS-4489 , JENKINS-1638 , JENKINS-528 ) Add check-box to allow disabling change-log generation per project ( JENKINS-3979 ) Leave CVS/Entries contents in their original encoding ( JENKINS-4241 , JENKINS-2614 ) Making CVS Prune (-p parameter) optional through job configuration ( JENKINS-1013 ) Improving warnings and validation ( JENKINS-9670 , JENKINS-9045 , JENKINS-7407 , JENKINS-3133 ) Fixing cyclic dependency with subversion plugin in POM ( JENKINS-10370 ) Fixing 'after-the-fact' tagging of builds ( JENKINS-8128 ) Improved date format on CVS commands ( JENKINS-6119 , JENKINS-7833 ) Allowing macro/parameter expansion on input fields ( JENKINS-2318 , JENKINS-3821 ) Fixing missing CVS change log entries when 'use head if not found' is used ( JENKINS-12104 ) Potentially also fixes: JENKINS-1737 : Alternative Quiet Period Implementation (untested - updated polling should fix this) JENKINS-10843 : CVS Update (defect is unclear) JENKINS-427 : Cannot check out alias modules from CVS (untested - using rlog should fix this) It's probably worth updating the version number in the POM to 2.0 given the number/scale of these changes, although this hasn't been included as part of this request.

Michael Clarke added a comment - 2012-01-28 19:38 cvs now uses remote commands (rlog and rtag) for work so isn't affected by the workspace state which resolves this issue
