java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException

Hi dear Jenkins community,
i know there are several questions with the same problem i got - but they all did not solve the problem.

At first my setup:

  • latest Jenkins Controller with Java 17.0.7
  • Jenkins Node with Java 17.0.7 in different subnet in VM on ESX host
  • using latest TestComplete Plugin in my pipeline and TestExecute 15 on the node
  • Firewall between controller, node and networks - but worked without problems all the time, no logs refering to my problem
  • using JenkinsAgentStartup.cmd from vsphere-cloud-plugin

What is happening?

  • Pipeline runs and starts VM template on ESX host - everything fine
  • Pipeline is executing some env stuff - everything fine
  • Pipeline is executing TestComplete step - throwing java exception
15:17:23  [TestComplete] The test execution started (ProjektName).
