Jenkins 2.x: jenkinscli failed to start pipeline build (freestyle does work)

[thomas....@teamaol.com]

I've been creating two jobs:

• FOO1 (pipeline)
• FOO2 (freestyle).

No configuration; just creation of the jobs.
I have registered a SSH key with no passphrase at my user.

The jenkins-cli.jar has been downloaded from the Jenkins specified in the URL.

I'm using Jenkins 2.0-rc1 the moment.

$ cat build.sh 

#!/bin/bash

PROMPT="$(basename $0) :: "

echo "${PROMPT}Build job for ${JOB_NAME} ..."

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s ${JENKINS_URL} -i ${JENKINS_PRIVATE_KEY} build "${JOB_NAME}"

With "export JOB_NAME=FOO1; ./build.sh" I get following output:

build.sh :: Build job for FOO1 ...

ERROR: No such job 'FOO1'; perhaps you meant 'Build-and-run-Nginx'?

With "export JOB_NAME=FOO2; ./build.sh" I get no error and the freestyle job is really executed.

Regards,

Thomas

In Jenkins 2.8 I get both Job types running but the jenkinscli prints out following exception:

build.sh :: Build job for FOO2 ...
