Jenkins default update center

[Mark Eggers]

I thought that I had two identical Jenkins 1.656 installations (production and test), running on Tomcat 7.0.68.

However on the test system I'm not able to get updates from the default update center (a third party update center works).

When I look at the logs of the failing system, there is no line with:

Obtained the latest update center data file for UpdateSource default

The hudson.model.UpdateCenter.xml files are identical

If I remove the third party update center on the test Jenkins, then Jenkins acts as if there are no update sites available.

I would appreciate any insights. If worse comes to worse, I could rebuild the test environment as long as I can recover the jobs, workspaces, and tasks.

Thanks for any ideas.

If by that you mean that you clear the form field in Manage Plugins » Advanced, don't do that.

No, I removed it via Manage UpdateSites.

Oddly enough, just disabling it did not actually disable it. The update site was still checked as evidenced by the time stamp on the file in $JENKINS_HOME/updates.
