In the job configuration for a Jenkins 1.418 job (older versions are Hudson) on Windows, I am having trouble with "Archive the artifacts". In the box titled "Files to archive" I have
foo/**/Release/Install/App.exe
The error it gives me at configuration time is:
'foo//Release/Install/App.exe' doesn't match anything: 'foo' exists but not 'foo//Release/Install/App.exe'
Now, if I'm correct, ** is "search all subdirectories" as per ant. What is odd, is that no matter what I enter it tells me the top level folder exists (foo), but no other folder exists underneath it. Yet when I use the windows explorer to navigate, all my folders exist.
How can I troubleshoot this or fix it?
Update: I figured out a technique to troubleshoot - use the workspace browse features in hudson/jenkins to find what is visible and what is not visible. Turns out some directories had file permissions that blocked them being visible inside jenkins/hudson.
I had hudson configured to run a batch file, and my folder references were failing because of some errors in the batch files I was using. This was not a hudson problem, but a batch file problem. I saw the error and thought it was the problem because it was a reported error, but the real problem was a silent failure in a batch file.

Does anyone know how to delete those past working directories in Octave GUI? They are very annoying and useless.
I see from your image that you are on windows.
I don't know the equivalent directory on windows, but on linux, this information seems to be stored under ~/.config/octave/octave-gui.ini, in a section called current_directory_list which you can edit and clear of all unwanted entries.
See if you can find the equivalent folder where this octave-gui.ini file is stored on windows; it may be in an AppData/Local directory, or in the octave installation folder itself...
PS: In the same directory I also had a qt_settings file which seems to mirror some of this information, but I think this may have been from an older octave installation.
In addition to deleting the file path from octave-gui.ini, try removing the path from .octaverc file as well. This will remove the warning you see at launch if the path no longer exists.
I've been trying to follow the
Setting Up Stackdriver Debugger for Java applications on Google Compute Engine, but am running into issues with Stackdriver Debug.
I'm building my .war file from a separate build server, then deploying it to my GCE server. I added the agent to the start command via /etc/defaults, and my app appears in the https://console.cloud.google.com/debug control panel. The version I set in the run command matches the revision that shows up in the source-context(s).json files.
However when I click open the app, I see the message that
No source version information was provided by the deployed application
I connected the app's git repo as a mirrored cloud repository, and can browse the source files in the sidebar of the Stackdriver Debug page. But, If I browse to a file and add a breakpoint I get an error that the error "File was not found in the executable."
I have ran the gcloud preview app gen-repo-info-file command, which created two basic json files storing my git repo and revision. Is it supposed to do anything else?
I have tried running jetty using both normal and extracted modes. If I have jetty first extract the war file, I can see the source-context.json filesin the WEB-INF/classes directory.
What am I missing?
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-debug-java#extra-classpath mentions
you can update the agentPath showing your WEB-INF/class directory.
-agentpath:/opt/cdbg/cdbg_java_agent.so=--cdbg_extra_class_path=/opt/tomcat/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes
For multiple class paths:
-agentpath:/opt/cdbg/cdbg_java_agent.so=--cdbg_extra_class_path=/opt/tomcat/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes:/another/path/with/classes
There are a couple of things going on here.
First, it sounds like you are doing the correct thing with gen-repo-info-file. The debugger agent should pick up the json files from the WEB-INF/classes directory.
The debugger uses fuzzy matching to find source files, so as long as the name of the .java file matches a file in your executable, you should not get that error.
The most likely scenario given the information in your question is that you are attaching the debugger to a launcher process, rather than your actual application. Without further details, I can't absolutely confirm that, though.
If you send us more details at cdbg-feedback#google.com, we can look more closely at your case to see if we can understand exactly what's happening, and potentially improve our documentation, since it sounds like you followed the docs pretty closely.
Upgraded Telerik in my ClickOnce application to version 2014.3.1202.40. (Never sure of the best way to do this. After the install, all my references to Telerik controls was broken and I had to remove all Telerik references in each of the projects and re-add them. So, I may be upgrading in the wrong way. But that's another matter.)
I deploy my app to a staging folder on my web server before moving to production. The app is signed with a commercial code signing certificate from Comodo that doesn't expire until 2019. I've uploaded new versions many times with no problem. But now, since I upgraded the Telerik controls, I can't download the and install the application. Here's what happens:
In Chrome, I enter the url: http://porpoiseanalytics.com/PorpoiseStaging/setup.exe
I get the "Not commonly downloaded" warning where I never got that before. I don't get any error on Firefox nor on IE.
If I tell Chrome to keep the file, I can start it. The installation starts on all the other browsers too.
About 3/4 of the way through the download of the files, Avast blocks it with DRep virus (I'm guessing lack of reputation). If I turn off Avast, it installs fine. ClickOnce install log shows an error: "Exception occurred loading manifest from file [application].exe: the manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened."
Why is my application suddenly acting like it has no reputation when it's been downloaded for months with no problems. But, after I modify the application in VS2010 and then remove and re-add the Telerik dll's, I suddenly have no reputation. And what makes matters worse, is that now my production download located at ttp://porpoiseanalytics.com/PorpoiseDownload/setup.exe is suddenly acting the same way.
I admit I don't have a good enough understanding of reputation, signing, and clickonce. But I do know that whereas before we were fine, after deploying the application, we're flagged as malicious software. I made a few code changes in the program (not many), but I also replaced the Telerik dlls. Probably has something to do with signing and publishing, but I can't figure it out. Please help. Thanks.
I think I figured it out. Although I had signed the manifest in the main UI project (the installer), the executable was not signed. With some help, learned how to do that:
Download the Windows 7 SDK with signtool.
In Visual Studio, open project properties in the main UI project.
Open the Compile tab and click on the Build Events button.
In the post-build events, enter:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\signtool.exe" sign /f "$(ProjectDir)[name of code cert file]" /p "[password]" /t http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode "$(ProjectDir)obj\$(ConfigurationName)\[exe name].exe
where [name of cert file] is the name of the code-signing cert file, such as private_key.pfk, and [password] is the password used when exporting the certificate (if % is included in the password escape it with %%, so pass%word would be entered as pass%%word), and [exe name] is the name of your primary project executable.
In other projects within solution, sign those by inserting a similar command line in the same post-build location:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\signtool.exe" sign /f "$(ProjectDir)DAD_Code_Certificate.pfx" /p "<password>" /t http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode "$(TargetPath)
Orignal Problem
My theory is that the original problem was caused because of a new feature in Avast 2015 that does a DomainRep (reputation?) check and if several criteria are all met, the alarm bells go off and it stops the download. Because my executable was not signed, it met all the requirements.
It is possible (although I really am not sure about this) that because of this DRep alarm, Google flagged the installer on our website as malicious, causing the red "not normally downloaded" warning when first starting the download.
At least, that's my best guess. Others will most certainly understand this better than me (and would have avoided it in the first place by signing the executable).
Official answer from Google Apps technical support (I'm on the Silver support plan - $150/month):
I replicated the issue you are describing and it looks to be a known
issue with Google Chrome, when trying to download an archive that has
an executable in it.
Please be advised that Google Chrome is outside the support scope of
Google Cloud, however the workaround is rather simple: when that
message appears you can click on the arrow to the right of that
message and chose "keep". This will download the file requested.
I ran into a problem creating a new project in Cocos2d-x 3.1.1 (or 3.0 - it happens at both versions).
When I'm running the build script in console (Windows 8 - console with admin privileges) an WindowsError pops up (check the image below).
http://i.imgur.com/Ixg4jEE.png
I can set up the COCOS_CONSOLE_ROOT manually, but it does not help with the Error 5.
I tried setting the 777 priviligies an all cocos2d-x folder and subfolders, but it does not help.
Anybody had the same problem? Any solutions out there?
On Windows you should not put manually installed programs and tools under C:\Program... (english: C:\Program Files) because that's a folder where only apps with a proper installer should go. Otherwise you will keep having permission issues. Apps are not allowed to write to that folder or any of its subfolders.
Since cocos2d-x isn't an app, it can't redirect its output to the proper AppplicationData folder as is mandated by the operating system. Not being able to write or modify the program folder's contents (except during installation) is a security feature in Windows that you can't (or shouldn't) bypass.
To fix this simply extract cocos2d-x in a folder that both you and apps have full read/write permission. Normally this would be in your Documents folder, but Desktop would also work and probably just any folder on a drive that you created, for instance C:\cocos2d-x.
Due to this line:
_winreg.SetValueEx() ...
the actual problem looks like to be with registry access, rather than with file permissions.
Make sure you actually running console as an admin, by:
searching cmd in Windows search, or just creating a shortcut to it to desktop
right clicking to cmd.exe and choosing "Run as administrator"
Make sure you don't have registry access block in any way: like blocking in group policies, some "security optimization" software and viruses and antiviruses.
Make sure your python version is 2.x. Python 3.x is not supported.
Anyway, this 'setup.py' step is optional for using cocos2d-x and you can live without running it at all.
Trying to configure Jenkins CI. Currently just running it from the .war (eventual intention as a service). Jenkins is aware of the CVS executable (i.e. will read the version [Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.62.1817 (client/server)]).
The .cvspass is not specified, because they apparently do not play nice with CVSNT (which prefers to keep passwords in the registry.) I've specified the password in the job config by using the :pserver:user:passg#server:/dir pattern for CVSROOT, which I found suggested in some places. Regardless of whether I run using that, or :pserver:userg#server:/dir as the CVSROOT I get the blinking red ball, jenkins stuck with a nearly full progress bar for 2 and a half minutes. It then fails. The console output yells with something like
FATAL: hudson.scm.ChangeLogSet.iterator()Ljava/util/Iterator;
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: hudson.scm.ChangeLogSet.iterator()Ljava/util/Iterator;

Both CVSROOTs I'm using provide no trouble with TortoiseSVN. I've found some mention of difficult of logging into SVN from jenkins as a service and related user/system issues, but considering I'm running it from the .war I don't think that's the issue.
EDIT:
Interestingly the console log if I use an invalid user or password recognizes such.
cvs [checkout aborted]: authorization failed: server rejected access to /dir for user FOO
FATAL: CVS failed. exit code=1
Finished: FAILURE
which indicates that Hudson is talking to the CVS server and authenticating, but something else goes wrong.
/EDIT
Cheers
Answer to the question found, thanks to rpetti on #jenkins on freenode. Problem was I had switched between Hudson and Jenkins and there were some incompatible configuration files that were mucking things up. Deleting and recreating the home directory solved the problem.
CVSNT 2.0.62.1817 is very very old and has several known security issues. Please upgrade to the latest 2.8.01.
