-------------------------------------
Summary: workspace cleanup runs on offline nodes
Key: JENKINS-13249
URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13249
Project: Jenkins
Issue Type: Bug
Components: other
Reporter: Erik Purins
Using jenkins 1.420, jenkins offline node has its workspace folders modified
when the node is marked as offline.
1. mark node as offline
2. wait for tasks to complete on node.
3. create a folder that doesn't have a matching job description string in the
workspace root.
4. put some files or do some forensics in that folder.
5. wait.
6. confirm java slave agent is still running.
7. Note that eventually folder will be silently pruned, losing data.
It was a surprise to me that jenkins deleted my working folder in the workspace
(that didn't match any existing job) when the node was offline.
Expect that when node is offline, jenkins master does not modify the state of
the jenkins workspace directory, and that offline nodes queue their garbage
collection or workspace cleaning for another time (when node comes back online,
or next reasonable interval).
