Re: Jenkins 1.607 - Environment Variables Stuck
Hello Everyone, I'm installing new jenkins slave on Windows Server 2008 R2 and have exactly the same issue. Previously we were using Windows 7 as windows slaves (master is on linux) and I never had such issue. And I cannot find old path in windows registry, slave hdd and master directory.

Deleting slave on master and recreating it helped, so environment stored somewhere on master - and not just path - all environment variables.

Re: Jenkins 1.607 - Environment Variables Stuck
Hi Henk, Setting the variable within the Jenkins job works properly (both SET and SETX), but the problem is that when we modify the windows variables (a la button clicking on Windows), restart the slave, the master (restarting the Jenkins client/master and/or rebooting), the environment variables modified on the Jenkins Slave (Windows) are not updated within Jenkins. It's like Jenkins, on first run, snapshots the environment variables and never loads them from the OS again.\ Thanks, VJ On Wednesday, April 29, 2015 at 4:28:36 AM UTC-7, Henk van Voorthuijsen wrote: Varun, Have you tried setting the variable with SETX instead of SET ?

RE: Jenkins 1.607 - Environment Variables Stuck
Hi VJ, thanks for the update. Yesterday, I also wrote Simon that my experience is probably not the best to help you, because my system is entirely local. Thus, as I realised yesterday, I’m not actually able to make out a difference between the master host’s env and that of the slaves. Duh! My bad. So I hope that other people in the mailing list can pick up the problem and offer some help. Best, Jennifer From: Varun Jain [mailto:vjain8...@gmail.com] Sent: Dienstag, 28.

Re: Jenkins 1.607 - Environment Variables Stuck
Hi Jennifer, Just to sum it up… whatever process runs as a service will only load new env values when restarted. That is expected behaviour, yes. The JNLP and JNLP command line options are spawned from the Jenkins master service, so you’ll want to restart that one after changing your envs so it can pick up new values and pass them on. So if the default environment on the slave changes, I need to restart the slave first for it to pick it up (expected), and then subsequently restart the master to make it re-fetch the environment from the slave, which is then written back during execution? I've had success getting new environment variables accepted by deleting the node from the master config an recreating them with the same settings. When the slave then reconnects, the new environment is accepted (but also sticky). I think I have also restarted the master at one point and didn't get an updated environment. I use a Linux master and Windows slaves BTW. Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Jenkins Users group.
