Jenkins with Git plugin always failed to clone webkit project

[Mengwei Ding]

Hi,

My local jenkins instance failed to clone the origin webkit project (https://github.com/WebKit/webkit) all the time (> 10) with the following exception:

ERROR: null

Since the webkit project source is huge ( > 4 GB), I am expecting some errors, but do you guys know how to fix this for my case? It this a natural bug of git plugin? or the size is beyond git plugin's ability?

My jenkins version is Jenkins ver. 1.634

My jenkins git plugin version is 2.4.0

Thanks,

Mengwei

You probably need to set the clone timeout to something large than the default of 10 minutes.  The "Advanced Clone Behaviours" selection under "Additional Behaviours" will allow you to set a larger timeout.

The plugin has a timeout because there are some cases where the git command line program can block while waiting for user input.  Rather than block indefinitely, the plugin has a user controlled timeout for most of its operations.
