We have a pipeline which mainly launches make targets on a jenkins node (distant site) which has a poor network connection.
Builds are stopped during a stage where make targets are running curl or venv commands with the exception given in the subject.
Nevertheless, though the “agent was removed” message, it appears from the node page that the node has not been disconnected or restarted.
When connected as user jenkins onto the same node and running make targets from the command line there is no error.
When running the exact same job on another node (local site with a GB network bandwith), we encounter no problem.
So… we suspect some combination between the poor network quality and the java environment…
How could we have more information in order to debug or… is there some known tuning to avoid such a behavior.
The node is running java 17 :
>java -version
