Jenkins 1.600 generates [FATAL] Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not find artifact (external to project) while parsing POMs

[Paul Bors]

I have an organization POM file with all the settings necessary between projects.

My multi module project is extending it and maven builds fine from CLI but when I run it through Jenkins I receive the following error:

Parsing POMs
ERROR: Failed to parse POMs
org.apache.maven.project.ProjectBuildingException: Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:

Here "com.xxx:yyy:pom:1-SNAPSHOT" is my organization's external POM that I extend to inherit all the settings necessary.

Any help would be appreciated as I can no longer build any projects.

Try Jenkins 1.601 beforehand. 1.600 has been reported to have blocking issues. Not sure that one could be related though

...

[Paul Bors]

How do I manually upgrade to 1.601?

I would beed at least the war.

And why would they still allow an automatic upgrade to 1.600 if it's known to have issues?

I didn't realize that 1.601 was released yesterday.

Even after updating to 1.601 I'm still receiving the same error:

Unless someone has a better idea I guess I'll have to check out Jenkin's code and start looking it over...

[Paul Bors]

Okay I figured out what the problem was.

As it turns out during the upgrade I lost the contents of:
<Jenkins install folder>\tools\hudson.tasks.Maven_MavenInstallation\Maven_3.x.x\conf\settings.xml

Thus the embedded maven couldn't connect to our Nexus repositories and resolve the parent POM.
The error was misleading and it took me a while to figure it out.

I also tried to set the Maven settings file at the project level and I noticed that didn't work.
Also, is annoying how you can't just configure this parameter as a system wide for the given maven installation.

[Jérôme Van Der Linden]

Hi,

I have an equivalent problem. I've created an issue (https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-47479) that was rejected, so here I am.

When using the jenkins maven build, I got the same error. When i use a freestyle job, passing the settings in the command line, it works.

How to see the command that jenkins execute ? It seems it can't find the settings on local project.
