This looks like the same problem as https://bugs.launchpad.net/python- jenkins/+bug/1513283 (that was with reconfig_job).
I had the same problem, using Jenkins 1.644, and the latest python- jenkins. I used my Jenkins API token to authenticate. I found that sometimes I was able create a new job, but that other times it got the "Possibly authentication failed [500]: Server Error". It definitely is not an authentication error. Interestingly, the exception was thrown in the case when the job config/xml to upload was large. I suspect that this might be an error on the Jenkins side, and not an error in python-jenkins. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Python Jenkins Developers, which is subscribed to Python Jenkins. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530862 Title: create_job fails Status in Python Jenkins: Incomplete Bug description: When I try to create new job from an existing xml file (downloaded from another job) I get the following error "Error in request.
