"FATAL: No author in changeset" (using Git plugins)

[Steve K]

Hello,

Have any other 'Git' users seen this problem?
We are at Jenkins v1.554.3 with Git Plugin v 2.2.2, Git Parameter Plugin v 0.3.2, and Git Client Plugin v 1.9.1

The problem occurs at the very end of the job, when it is attempting to send job success notices to the developers who committed code included in the build.
Even though the real work of the build was error free, when Jenkins was unable to identify the author of a commit, it caused a general, fatal, error for the job.

Here is a snippet of the Console Output:

Archiving artifacts
Recording NUnit tests results
FATAL: No author in changeset c81c92cc02ab4535fada09e1dbc49d78a889fb9a
java.lang.RuntimeException: No author in changeset c81c92cc02ab4535fada09e1dbc49d78a889fb9a
	at hudson.plugins.git.GitChangeSet.getAuthor(GitChangeSet.java:324)
	at hudson.model.AbstractBuild.getCulprits(AbstractBuild.java:414)
	at hudson.model.AbstractBuild.getCulprits(AbstractBuild.java:410)
	at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.post(AbstractBuild.java:729)

 We have verified that there is no problem with any of the commits in the Git repository.

Thanks in advance for any insight or suggestions.

I've seen the same problem, and Thomas Carsuzan has seen the same problem.

https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-16737 is being used to track the issue.

The usual work around is to build again, or to wipe the workspace and build again.  It is still not clear what is causing the problem, since it is sporadic.  I have multi-configuration jobs which run successfully almost always, but occasionally one of the configurations will report that message.  If I run the same job again, it succeeds.

Thanks Mark,

Just curious. Are you on a Windows server?  We recently moved from a Linux to a Windows server. We never saw the problem when we were on the Linux server.

I see the problem on both Windows and Linux.

Mark,

To be clear, are you saying you see it with both Windows and Linux servers (vs. slaves)?

Thanks for the link to the reported issue. There is some comfort in knowing you're not alone and that, maybe, someone is looking into the problem.

Regards,

Steve K.
