github integration issue

[pe...@rais.io]

Hi

This is my first time setting up jenkins. Using 1.613

Simple task is to pull latest version of master from github when building a job. 

I am using:

GIT client plugin v 1.17.1

GIT plugin v 2.3.5

The problem: jenkins "talks" to github ok BUT it checks out a very very old version (last commit on the first day of the repository), not the latest version, i'm assuming its a simple config error but after many hours i'm stumped so hoping someone can help.

Git configuration in attached screenshot.

Console output:

"9d4fd82b50276e4b5a287a91caad1b2f28885c8d " is a commit from several months ago.

I think that log is showing that the workspace repository has a remote named "origin" (the default) and that remote has a branch named "master" and "git rev-parse" command in that workspace repository reports that origin/master or origin/origin/master points to commit 9d4fd82b5...  Assuming it is origin/master, that seems correct to me.

The "Checking out Revision" message hints to me that the repository origin/master points to 9d4fd82b5.  That seems correct to me.

You might check that you don't have a branch named origin, or a branch named origin/master in your GitHub repository, just in case that is somehow confusing the code which determines what branch to build.

Thanks Mark

It turns out its because I'm an idiot:)

I had setup a repository on a different account with the same name and then later migrated it to where we have actually put all the commits. My original setup used the old account, switching to the one we actually used had a much better result.

Thanks for your help.
