Error in Jenkins connection to stash

Question

I'm trying to configure my Jenkins job to connect to Altassian Stash. I'm using the git plugin for Jenkins.

Here the job configuration details- under source code management, choose git:

Repository Url: https://lab.xyz.com/stash/scm/projects/sandbox.git

Credentials: jenkinuser/password (defined in the global credentials of Jenkins configuration)

I get the following error:

Failed to connect to repository:  
Could not init C:\Windows\TEMP\hudson1141847846411984817tmp

(The tmp name keeps changing).

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Answer 1

I know its a little late but this worked for me:

Check if you have install git on the Jenkins server, and check if you have set the git executable path in the Jenkins configuration

More specifically go to 'Manage Jenkins' -> 'Global Tool Configuration' and check the 'Path to Git executable' field.

Answer 2

In Global Tool Configuration, where you "set" GIT location: C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin/git.exe. Do not forget to include ‘.exe’ extension. It is for Windows.

Answer 3

We had to downgrade to git plugin version 1.5.0 and git client plugin version 1.0.7 and it worked. We are running Jenkins version 1.577.

That git plugin takes the url as: https://jenkinuser:password@lab.xyz.com/stash/scm/projects/sandbox.git
