Jenkins slave jobs failing on “Unexpected termination of channel”

Question

I am currently seeing a set of errors across my builds.

Is this expected behaviour if you loose Jenkins (say to a box crash, or a kill -9)?

Or is there somet

Answer 1

I know this question is kind of old but I came across this problem the other day.

For me the problem was occurring during the install of the JDK. The install failed because the security settings of Windows were set so the notification box that says: "You need to give permission for this operation" was popping up, causing the install to fail.

I changed the notification settings to "Never notify" and it solved this issue.
