Jenkins cannot access to SVN (https://)

Question

I created Jenkins project that have files on SVN (https://repo.xxx.xxx/svn/priv/projectname; certificate is self-signed). My problem is that Jenkins have empty workspace for thi

Answer 1

It looks like Jenkins uses svn credentials cache to authenticate. Those credentials are stored in the ~/.subversion/auth folder. I was struggling because of this and the solution i found was to clean up ~/.subversion/auth folder and then checkout from the console of the machine Jenkins is installed on, append the username Jenkins will use as a parameter. Something like this

svn checkout --username jenkins-svn-user http://svn.server/repo

That will ask for the credentials of the jenkins-svn-user and will store them locally so that Jenkins can use them. Then you can check on your job configuration whether it worked or not.

Hope this helps
