Hello

I installed Jenkins 2.80 cleanly on macOS high sierra.

But the mechanism that Jenkins is activated by the local file key
and is required to create a user seems to be removed.

Is it an intentional change? if so, why?

And I don't know how to add a new user.
Could you tell me how?

Regards.
Masaru.

This only happens if it isn't a clean install, or you specifically disable the setup wizard through a command line option.

Assuming it's not the latter, check the Jenkins log for "Jenkins home directory" and look in there. There'll be older files in there.

Hello

I clean-installed macOS high sierra.
So I think there was no old files.

To make sure, I ran this command.
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Jenkins/Uninstall.command

After that, I installed Jenkins 2.80.
But the result was the same.

Regards.
Masaru.

I was able to reproduce the behavior. It is being tracked as JENKINS-47139. Thanks for the report.

I informed the jenkinsci-advisories list about this regression:
