=================
Problem details:
Problem to solve
I am trying to get Gitlab to Jenkins integration working. I have tried both the Gitlab integration approach and the gitlab webhook approach.
All connections from Gitlab to Jenkins and Jenkins to Gitlab work fine when running the “test connection” (I am using Maintainer role tokens for this)
The push from my VSCode to gitlab does result in the pipeline on Jenkins starting but no code is being pushed to Jenkins so the maven build stage fails right off.
I verified this in the /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/xxxx on the jenkins controller
There is no code in there.
The VSCode push to github (not gitlab) to Jenkins via webhook is working fine. (same Jenkins server). The parallel Jenkins project has all of the github repository source code in the directory (separate directory from the one above)
I did try editing the Repository setting on gitlab for the protected branch and allowed force push. I also changed the branch settings to allow force push but it did not resolve the issue.
I do think this is related to the respository settings because the connections from gitlab to Jenkins and Jenkins to gitlab are testing ok.
Currently i am just trying to get a simple push to work (later will try MR, etc)
I have researched this online and still stumped on this one.
The gitlab is a docker container on a VPS, but the firewall rules and allowlist on the reverse proxy are all letting the traffic from Jenkins to gitlab through
The Jenkins server is an EC2 instance on AWS. For now i have opened up the security groups on the Jenkins server so that is not the issue.
Since the pipeline is starting on Jenkins when pushing VSCode to gitlab it is just the code push to Jenkins that is failing (or does Jenkins pull the repo from gitlab?) . Both directions are “test connection” 200 ok.
The gitlab branch main (the one i am trying to push) is protected branch and role is Maintainers.
I did try unprotecting the branch but the same issue.
Does anyone have any idea why the source code is not being pushed from gitlab to Jenkins (or Jenkins pulling code from gitlab, whichever is the case)?
I followed this document to the letter when setting this up
I also made the gitlab project public as part of the troubleshooting
If i change something in the Jenkinsfile pipeline configuration (add a stage for example) it is reflected in the running pipeline on Jenkins but since no code is pushed the stages all fail anyways
Gitlab is self managed as a docker container on a VPS but communication with webhooks etc is 200ok.
Versions
- GitLab (Web:
/helpor self-managed system informationsudo gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info): 17.6.1 - GitLab Runner, if self-hosted (Web
/admin/runnersor CLIgitlab-runner --version):
17.4.0 docker executor runner
A Jenkins to gitlab connection has been configured on Jenkins with a token and the test is 200ok.
Jenkins:
The jenkins project is configured to run when it detects a gitlab push, etc…and a secret token was created and this was used in the gitlab webhook (and that connection from gitlab to jenkins is 200ok). And as noted above the Jenkins pipeline does start but it is just that the source code is not pushed from gitlab to Jenkins (or pulled from gitlab to Jenkins).
In Manage Jenkins—> Conifguration —> Gitlab section i do have “Enable authentication for ‘/project’ end-point” checked off and this is working fine once the jenkins secret token was added to the gitlab webhook.
This is the jenkins error log in the pipeline console due to the source code not being pushed:
[e[1;31mERRORe[m] The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory (/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Gitlab_to_jenkins_project20c_kops). Please verify you invoked Maven from the correct directory. → e[1m[Help 1]e[m
