Bart M commented on Bug JENKINS-24460

I have the same issue, yes I looked at issue #21785 - but I do have valid credentials for my externals, which all use exactly the same authentication realm as the rest of my subversion repository (I validated every single one of them) - which works fine for the main repo and for some other externals.

I have to add the followint things:

  • all our external property values use the '^' notation to indicate that it's related to the SVN root. I've seen this remark a few times reporting such an issue.
  • All jobs that have this problem seem to have the "Emulate clean checkout by first deleting unversioned/ignored files, then 'svn update'" option enabled.
  • It only happens if some files actually changed in the main repo (!!NOT!! in the externals) and 'svn update' updates them. The next time the job is run (and thus the files were already checked out), everything works fine.
  • processing the first few externals always works fine, apparently using the credentials provided for the main repo.

Adding identical 'additional credentials' seems to work - but is a bit silly, not to mention a massive job to filter though all 250 active jobs we have that happen to use externals, and I'm not blindly going to add additional credentials to every single job using groovy script (which would also take a good while to figure out how exactly, I'm not that familiar with it) for something that should be fixed in the future - requiring some massive cleanup which would be even more complex than now filtering through all those jobs.

I'm running Jenkins ver. 1.577 with SVN plugin ver. 2.4.3.
