NoRouteToHostException when trying to connect to a Jenkins URL API from a pipeline

[SysInt]

Hello,

I am trying to get a piece of information from a previous build with the help of jenkins REST API, however the pipeline always fails when trying to connect to the jenkins  API url.

Note that when I try to access the URL through an normal script, from outside a pipeline, I get what I want.

Also, I have no problem  to connect to another API URL (such as GitLab) from inside the pipeline script.

exemple

Pipeline script :

node('windows') {
    echo 'Jenkins API'
    def jenkinsurl = "http://placeholder:8080/job/Eqpt/job_name/build_number/api/json?token=TOKEN"
    def jenkinsjson = new URL(jenkinsurl) // Fails

}

error :

Does somebody need further piece of information to help me figure this out ?

[Jan Monterrubio]

Can you ping the Jenkins master from the agent? Are you using a named record or something like “localhost”?

Usually it’s best to verify connectivity and behavior from outside Jenkins but on the same machines as the first troubleshooting step. If those are fine, then start troubleshooting from inside. Break complex jobs or operations down into small steps to speed attempts and to isolate issues.

Good luck on troubleshooting your system configuration.

Correct...

1. check connectivity with host

2. also make sure what port it uses

3. Go to your jenkins proxy settings, you can paste the url there and check if server is able to connect or not.
