git clone error

[GS_L]

I'm using jenkins 1.631 on ubuntu 14.04, slaves installed also on ubuntu 14.04.

I added git path to PATH env variable.

git plugins:

Git client plugin 1.19.1

Git plugin 2.4.1

GitHub API Plugin 1.71

GitHub plugin 1.14.2

Sometimes I get the following error: "ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'"

hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress ... +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" returned status code 143:

It's happen on master and slaves as well.

Most of the builds success but everyday some of the builds fail on this error.

I looked over the posts with the same problem but I haven't found a solution.

Please your advice.

Correct me if I'm wrong but those log details are not enough, can you attach your full console log? Probably there is something else after that error in the stacktrace error output. It might be related to some timeout issues...

Cheers

I attached the logs - (I removed the repository url)

Timeout issue as you can see

09:40:08 ERROR: Timeout after 20 minutes

You can set that value as you probably did  it since the default timeout is 10 minutes. Probably some networking latency issue in your system so you can bypass it with a longer timeout.

If it is a large repository, and if you don't mind keeping an extra copy on your slave, you might consider using the "reference repository" option.  That allows you to place a bare copy of the git repository on your slave and reference its contents rather than copying them over the network.  It saves network time and can save disc space if you have multiple jobs cloning the same original repository.

If you're dealing with a flaky origin repository, the "SCM checkout retry count" configuration comes in very handy.

It's in the main Jenkins configuration screen.

Thanks the "SCM checkout retry count" helped

[GS_L]

Somehow the retry doesn't work correctly on one of the jobs.

It's look like the retry success but the shell script that runs right after the git clone fails:

pushd xap

git checkout master 

popd
