When I try and change some settings in the global system configuration, for example disabling the hook url override, the changes don’t persist after I click Save and the old URL/settings persist. Happens when editing a github server on that page as well. I’ve edited my casc config file to not include those settings either and they still remain after restart.

Hello @grvvy and welcome to this community.

This issue might be related to the Configuration as Code (CasC) plugin. When using CasC, Jenkins configuration is managed via a YAML file, and changes made through the UI may not persist if they conflict with the settings defined in the YAML file.

Here are a few things you could check:

CasC YAML file: Ensure that the settings you’re trying to change are not defined in the CasC YAML file. If they are, you should change them directly in the YAML file instead of through the UI.
Reload Configuration: After making changes to the CasC YAML file, you need to reload the configuration for the changes to take effect. You can do this by navigating to Manage Jenkins > Configuration as Code > Reload existing configuration.
Jenkins Restart: If the changes still don’t persist after reloading the configuration, try restarting Jenkins.
File Permissions: Ensure that Jenkins has the necessary permissions to write to the configuration files. If Jenkins doesn’t have write permissions, it won’t be able to save the changes.
Plugin Compatibility: Make sure that all your plugins are compatible with the version of Jenkins you’re using. Incompatible plugins can cause unexpected behavior.

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve removed the settings from the yaml file and reloaded/restarted with no luck.

Eventually found it in this four year old bug - Loading...

poddingue · March 29, 2024, 4:53pm

Did this workaround work for you?

grvvy · March 29, 2024, 5:34pm

Yeah it worked for me.

poddingue · March 29, 2024, 5:57pm

Thanks a lot for the feedback.
