Troubleshoot Jenkins Subversion Migration

Tags: ,

After migration a Subversion server to a different location I found that the SVN update was no longer working from a Jenkins instance that used that server. After a little
searching I found the solution in a Stackoverflow question.

It turns out that the SVNKit library that the Jenkins Subversion plugin does support TLS 1.0. To get it working I had the update the Apache site configuration to include SSLv3:

SSLProtocol -all +SSLv3 +TLSv1

For the stacktrace, see below:

The stacktrace from Jenkins:

Jenkins reports error on SVN update

Tags: ,

One day a Jenkins server I use for Continuous Integration stopped updating code from SVN repositories. It reported an error ERROR: Failed to update https://svn.matuera.net/svn/project whilst throwing an SVNException.

In this post I describe how I was able to fix the problem and let the builds continue.

Stacktrace

The stacktrace that Jenkins reported was:

Initial research

At first I thought it had something to do with credentials or the Jenkins version, but checkout as the jenkins user from commandline did work. Also updating Jenkins did not resolve the issue.
Some research taught me that this problem only appears on Java 6 and is caused by the underlying SVNKit svn library used: 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The solution

In most posts the solution described is either upgrading the java version or by supplying an additional parameter at Jenkins startup to force SVNKit to work a bit differently. I do not know the exact effect it has
in SVNKit, but it does work. The Jenkins version I use on CentOS is started by a init-script in /etc/init.d/jenkins. I replaced the following line that starts Jenkins with:

JAVA_CMD="$JENKINS_JAVA_CMD $JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS -DJENKINS_HOME=$JENKINS_HOME -jar $JENKINS_WAR"

With:

JAVA_CMD="$JENKINS_JAVA_CMD $JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS -Dsvnkit.http.sslProtocols="SSLv3" -DJENKINS_HOME=$JENKINS_HOME -jar $JENKINS_WAR"

This solved the problem and allowed Jenkins to update normally.
