Debug 'Trigger a remote parameterized job'

[Steve K]

Hello,

In my system configuration, I setup the plugin to use the Credentials plugin.
I provided the username and password of a user on the remote system with plenty of rights to run the job.

The job, however, is not launching.
I see the following in the console output from the job that attempts to launch the remote job:

Connection to remote server failed, waiting for to retry - 10 seconds until next attempt.
Retry attempt #5 out of 5
ERROR: Remote build failed for the following reason, but the build will continue:
ERROR: Max number of connection retries have been exeeded.
ERROR: Remote build failed for the following reason, but the build will continue:
ERROR: Got a blank response from Remote Jenkins Server [http://the RemoteJenkinsServer:8080], cannot continue.
FATAL: null
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.jenkinsci.plugins.ParameterizedRemoteTrigger.RemoteBuildConfiguration.perform(RemoteBuildConfiguration.java:535)
	at hudson.tasks.BuildStepMonitor$1.perform(BuildStepMonitor.java:20)
	at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.perform(AbstractBuild.java:770)
	at hudson.model.Build$BuildExecution.build(Build.java:199)
etc...

Do you have an idea of what the problem might be?
How do I go about debugging this problem?
Is there a log somewhere that might contain more helpful information?

Thanks in advance.

Is anyone successfully using this plugin?  If so, what are the values you use in the trigger's setup?
Thanks.

My remote Jenkins has no authentication configured

Thanks @rginga
I can't get away with using 'no authentication'.
Otherwise, my configuration of the trigger looks pretty similar to yours.

I'm still looking for some sort of trail to information that will help me determine why it's not working for me.

Having the same issue. Getting a NullPointer.

Hello,

Tried the plugin as well without success. Got the following call stack:

ERROR: Remote build failed for the following reason, but the build will continue:
ERROR: Max number of connection retries have been exeeded.
ERROR: Remote build failed for the following reason, but the build will continue:

ERROR: Got a blank response from Remote Jenkins Server ...., cannot continue.

Any alternative to this?
