Hi

There is a known issue with the Subversion plugin that 'Additional Credentials' must be specified if Externals are used.

Most job types allow the user to specify the 'Additional Credentials' in the GUI, but the Multibranch pipeline job does not. To me, this is a show-stopper for using that job type - my job is regularly failing because of svn error: 'E200015: ISVNAuthentication provider did not provide credentials'.

This issue is raised as JENKINS-35227 but that was created in May 2016 and is unassigned.

Seems a shame that the Multibranch pipeline job doesn't fully support Subversion. Can we raise the profile of this problem?

Best regards

David

The current state of the SVN plugin is discussed here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jenkinsci-dev/JUAzYLfuMhw . Effectively the plugin has no active maintainer. So I would not expect any ETA for this fix.

There are many pending changes. If you are ready to contribute, please feel free to help with the reviews and also feel free to claim ownership of the plugin.

Best regards,

Hi Oleg

 

Thanks for your reply.  To fix the immediate problem I think we just need some additional GUI fields for the Multibranch Pipeline job.  Is that in the scope of the svn plugin or of the pipeline job type?

 

(Just wondering if someone can do it without being an svn expert).

I'd guess it is within the Subversion plugin.
