URLTrigger and content inspection

[Schalk Cronjé]

I am trying to monitor a remote Jenkins using the URLTrigger. I set monitoring to look at a XML content change in the build number i.e. using xpath of //number/text().

All I get is the following in the Trigger Log

[URLTrigger] - Poll with a URL

Inspecting XML content for URL http://OTHER_JENKINS_URL/job/OTHER_JOB_NAME/lastSuccessfulBuild/api/xml

Polling started on Oct 16, 2013 7:56:50 PM
Polling for the job JOB_NAME
Looking nodes where the poll can be run.
Looking for a node to the restricted label master.
Restrict on master label. Polling on master.

Polling on master.
Invoking the url: 
 http://OTHER_JENKINS_URL/job/OTHER_JOB_NAME/lastSuccessfulBuild/api/xml
Inspecting the content
[ERROR] - Polling error...
[ERROR] - Error message: The size between old results and new results has to be the same.

I have tried the same with a JSON trying both .number and lastSuccessfulBuild.number as JSON paths. Results are still the same.

Any ideas?

Versions: Jenkins = 1.531, URLTrigger Plugin = 0.35, XTrigger Plugin= 0.54

Hi Schalk,

 

Poll job/lastSuccessfulBuild/buildNumberinstead and skip the whole xpath  - it will work and be lighter weight on the target server J

Thanks James. That works quite well and solves my issue.

I am still unclear though, why the XML and JSON content inspections failed.

I recently updated to 1.535 on Linux x86_64. A job which failed
yesterday now shows a red icon (as it should) but the "last failure"
column shows "1 mo 3 days" whereas the "last success" column shows "1
day 16 hr". Those dates imply that the most recent build was successful,
which it wasn't. What am I missing?

Thanks but no. I've seen the most recent job disappear from the history
list occasionally, but only for a moment then it reappears. In this
case, the failed build does show at the top of the history but is not
reflected in the "last failure" column.
