Tried with the configure option, not able to find the tools
configuration option and the git executable section. Seems like it
occurs after a successful build only. Please help.
Here's the output I receive after building the project on the console output section:

This wasted so much time on my Jenkins Windows slave.
I knew git was in the path because I executed "where git" in the build job's batch command.
where git
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe
Apparently the Jenkins Git Plugin executes ** before ** the environment is inherited.
SET YOUR SLAVE's PATH to Git ( Just DO IT !! )
1) Go to your Windows slave configuration
Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes
2) Select your slave configuration
3) Check Tool Locations under Node Properties
4) Enter complete path to git executable including git.exe
[x] Tool Locations
Name: (GIT) git
Home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe
See screenshot:
Go to Manage Jenkins / Global Tool Configuration and set Path to Git executable:
set the path to git.exe and not only to the directory of the git file in both the locations of tool configurations.
Check for below command in Jenkins Server in linux Env:
`whereis git`
you will get the path like /usr/bin/git
Place it in Manage jenkin>Global Tool Configuration> under git path mention /usr/bin/git
Rerun job again
Sometimes this error occurs when disk space is less. so do check the space of your machine where jenkins is hosted. :)
If anyone is using Jenkins with freshly installed Xcode, you'll need to agree to the license using sudo xcodebuild -license or agree through UI.
There can be multiple reasons for that
Check the Permission of the Folder or the Worker Node, In my case 3rd one was the issue because of not providing permissions to the users and groups. As a result you may need to do
sudo chown -R user:group folderName
Check you have configured the SSH Key, if you are using Private Repo from GitHub.
Path Must be provided inside Jenkins Global Configuration of Default Git
In my case,
I have installed git on my slave server. Download-git
Run cmd command
where git
and update your git path with exe file like below in Jenkins node configuration.
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe
Go to your Windows slave configuration, Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes > Select your slave > configure
Check "Tool Locations" under "Node Properties" and give the full path what you got from 'where git' command and save.
yes I have faced the same issue on the Linux ec2 instance but I fixed it through
First of all on your server run the below command, and this command will return to you
$ which git
this command will return to you the actual path of the git, where your git is installed like that /usr/bin/git copy this path.
open your Jenkins > go to manage Jenkins >Global tool configuration > paste the in this field "Path to Git executable
Windows:
1. Install git in windows machine
2. The git.exe path is C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe (by default, unless you change during installation)
3.Now need to show the path of git.exe in Jenkins git plugin tool
a)manage Jenkins>Global Tool Configuration>Git
b)Add git : name: anything and Path:C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe
4. Then build for clone. Should be ok
Linux CentOS7:
Same error message I got and after installation git in same machine were Jenkins installed, it is solved.
yum install git
Then you need to follow below steps. Hope so this may be useful for you to resolve your problem.
If your master is linux machine and slave is windows machine...
Pre-Requisites:
your slave machine should have same java version(jdk 1.8).
Git should be installed on your slave machine.
Steps to follow:
Go to your Windows slave configuration Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes
Select your slave configuration
Check Tool Locations under Node Properties
Enter complete path to git executable including git.exe
Tool Locations
Name: (GIT) git
Home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe
See screenshot:
1) Make sure the git.exe has executable permissions.
2) Make sure git is configured correctly to refer in Global Tool configurations and also on the Jenkins agent (windows in your case) where you running the job, environment variable for git.exe executable is set correctly
have this problem after my company move to 2FA (2 factory authentication) at GitHub
in the Jenkins I get in credential this
to fix it
I create a personal access token in Github from here
2)after that i get to the same place in the jenkins when the errors ->Credential->add ->jenkins
and get as you see in the picture down
username= what you want name
password = token that you get
Upgrading all plugins and Jenkins to 2.332.1 solved for me
This answer may sound like a joke, but it resolved the exact error message we were getting for only 1 pipeline:
Check if the pipeline has a parameter with no name value.
Don't forget to Add your deploy key credentials (the deploy key attached to the github project) in jenkins (http://yourjenkinsurl:8080/credentials/)

I need some help here, It's been a week I'm with this problem, can't figure out what's going on. I'm not able to clone a git repo from a slave node (Jenkins). I added the ssh key, host and slave (I've already tried generating a single key and one for each virtual and host)).
On Jenkins:
url:git#github.com: < repo>
Credentials: Here I tried with username/password, username with ssh file, username with ssh key directly, and -none-.
It doesn't seems like there is an authentication problem since I can clone the repo manually from console (both, slave and host). I can also connect with
ssh -T git#github.com
so the ssh key is fine, but when I build, this appear on console:
Building remotely on IE10Win7 in workspace C:\Users\IEUser\Desktop\<

Wiping out workspace first.

Does anyone have an idea? Hope someone can give me a clue, Thanks!
I fixed this problem by setting the slave node tool path, selecting git and setting its value to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe
Location: Configure Node - Tool Locations
I recently updated several jenkins plugins and had this problem after the updates. Rolling back the git plugin didn't help, but I did a few other things to get it working. I listed all three here, but it was probably (2) that fixed the problem. Apparently the git executable was reset to default. So, configuring the git executable within the specific project was probably all that was needed. However the other items might come in handy too.
(1) The default git on a jenkins linux install geenrally points to /usr/lib... You need to specify a separate GitForWindows that points to the windows version:
Manage Jenkins
Configure System
Under Git - Git Installations
Add Git -> Git
Give it a name to be referenced in projects
(mine is WindowsGit)
Set Path to Git Executable
(mine is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe")
(for recent git the path is "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe")
(2) Configure git on the specific project:
Select the project
Select Configure
Under Source Code Management - Git
Select Git Executable as configured in 1)
Set credentials or add new (ssh keys, etc)
(3) Updating the jenkins slave service to run as a specific user:
Go to Windows Services on the slave -- StartMenu, type "services"
Select the Jenkins Slave service in the list on the right
Right-click and select "Properties" of the Jenkins Slave service
Select the "Log On" tab
Update the username and password used in manual tests
Domain login can be specificied with <DOMAIN>\<USERNAME>
Local logins just use <USERNAME>
OK to save and exit
Right-click again and select "Restart" to make the changes active.
I found a decent workaround in my case. The git clone command always inherits its process owner, which may make a difference, even if the two owners of Jenkins (SYSTEM) and cmd (USER) seem to have the same rights on your system. All other configurations were identical (keys, knownhosts, Git client version).
So as far as I can see, calling git clone from cmd will succeed because it calls the remote as USER, whereas git clone called from Jenkins may be rejected because it calls the remote as SYSTEM. In Services, where you would typically start Jenkins through the GUI, you can configure the service to run as a different user (right click on service --> Properties --> Log On). I had to put it like USER#DOMAIN, e.g. Jenkins#company.local or so. I'm not sure about how a cmd parameter would look, but I'd expect there to be one.
Also, I don't quite know what difference this workaround makes in the end, because on my Jenkins, SYSTEM and USER are configured to have the same rights across the system and they are of course both recognized as "Jenkins" by remote. Still, it does the trick for me. Deeper insights welcome.
I was facing similar problem and found that I need to add git to my PATH environment variable for a Windows based slave. I think that #dhj suggestion 2 might work as well in this case.
I found this workaround on Jenkins Jira.
In my case, I started getting this exact error after updating Git on some of my build machines (via Chocolatey, using the "git.install" package) from 1.9.4 to 2.5.0. The old 1.9.4 install was a 32-bit package but the new one is a 64-bit one, so the default install location switched from C:\Program Files (x86)\Git to C:\Program Files\Git. I had the 64-bit path configured on the Jenkins master (since it had the newer Git version), but some slaves still had the older 32-bit version installed, so the slaves were attempting to use an incorrect path. I could have overridden the Git path for individual slaves but the cleaner solution for me was simply to upgrade all the slaves to the newer 64-bit version.
I tried most of the above:
Specify git location.
Set service user.
Run as Administrator.
None of it worked. Eventually decided to uninstall git64 and install git32... changed the git path to the new location (in x86 Program Files). And everything worked.
I ran into this issue recently.
We had some items in our PATH EV which we had added when trying to connect Winium and Selenium to our Jenkins instance.
We removed these items, but still Jenkins seemed to be holding on to the values. After a bit of troubleshooting: restarting Jenkins; restarting the Jenkins server; setting the EVs at the node level; etc., we restarted the Jenkins JNLP service on the Windows slave.
And they lived happily ever after.
I also got the same error and fixed by adding a git path in the "Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration".
In my env, The windows Jenkins master run a job on the ubuntu slave machine, the master machine has used the default git ('C:\Program Files\Git\git.exe') path and the slave machine has used the git ('/usr/bin/git') path, therefore, I configured slave git path into the master configuration '/usr/bin/git' and its start working for me
Hi I have jenkins set up with three unix machines slaves binding with ssh keys and able to do git clone successfully..
Now I want to add windows machine for the same master with ssh concept. I have copied one of the above slave machine ssh keys and did manual git clone command works fine.
Similary I tried to clone git in jenkins. Below are two observations.
Updated "git installation" path in "“Manage Jenkins” –> “Configure System ” to "\C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.com" from "git" as per http://computercamp-cdwilson-us.tumblr.com/post/48589650930/jenkins-git-clone-via-ssh-on-windows-7-x64. In this case git clone successful for windows machine job, but other unix machine jobs were failed clone with an error..hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Error performing command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.cmd rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
Updated "git installation" path in "“Manage Jenkins” –> “Configure System ” to "git". In this case unix machine jobs were successfully cloned, but windows machine job was failed to clone with an error...ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin' : Could not clone ssh://git#........
So we need two different path for unix and windows jobs or update one common path in which both the jobs (unix and window) runs successfully.
Any help on this issue highly appreciated..Thanks.
Each Jenkins slave configuration can have git tool config which overrides the global config.
Click "Manage Jenkins" -> "Manage nodes" -> click one of the slaves -> click "Configure" on the left -> Check the box named "Tool locations". Click "Add". From the pop-up menu choose "Git". Enter path to the git executable on that slave.
Please use C:\Program Files\git\Cmd\git.exe as the git environment variable for the windows slave configuration in Jenkins.
1) Manage Jenkins 2) Manage Nodes 3) Select Windows slave -> go to configuration 4) Add Environment variables for GIT as above complete path.
Also, go to global security settings -> Enable Slave -> Master.
This should work.
Cheers, Ashoka.
Update your system environment variables with your Git\bin path.
Then update your Jenkins Slave's node properties with Tool Location.
List of tool locations
Name Git(Default)
Home your git.exe directory path (Git\bin\git.exe)
Which is the correct installation directory for Jenkins to use? Here are the options I have tried and the results I have seen.
C:\Git\bin\git.exe
C:\Git\cmd\git
same as above
C:\Git\cmd\gitk.cmd
If I continue and ask the job to build here is the console output.

This is not a problem with git not being found but that putty has not yet been told that it can trust the ssh-key presented by the repository sshd server.
Run a manual git command first on the Jenkins server, so you can say yes to accept the host key, and then try again.
I get this error when configuring git repo in a new jenkins project:

I have a local git repo on my windows machine and cloning the same path from command prompt works on the same machine. I don't know what could be the problem (git.exe is on system path)
Windows installs Jenkins as a service. But it runs the Jenkins service under different user permissions that don't have access to GIT. You can follow this link to find the user that Jenkins runs under. http://antagonisticpleiotropy.blogspot.com/2012/08/running-jenkins-in-windows-with-regular.html
For example. My local user name on my windows is "nathandrewsire", exclude the quotes. Open windows services manager (either cmd and c:\services.msc, OR use windows key + R). Enable Log On > This account:. Then type in .\username (e.g. .\nathandrewsire). Then restart the service and you will have access to GIT from Jenkins builds.
I also found a snippet for windows shell command that will output the user to verify it.
echo %PATH%
echo %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%

Linux
If you're using Linux, this error can also be caused from not enabling share on your Git repo. Linux jenkins user won't be able to access Git report under another user unless....
git --bare init --shared=group
Also, your jenkins user and Git repo user must belong to the same group for file permission access. There's other alternatives to that like messing with umasks and ACL's but setting up a linux group for your two users is the easiest way.
Make sure NOT TO OVERWRITE your Git repo with the bare init command. If you already have a Git repo, you'll need to setup/move to a new one with the shared option. I didn't see a way to convert existing repos to shared because I am guessing the files would all need to be updated?
NOTE***
I used VMWare Workstation shared folders to build on a windows guest. Jenkins needs the following format when entering the Git repo.
//vmware-host/Shared Folders/vm-share/ridcyDevelopment.git/

I can clone via Git/SSH URL git#github.com:zeljkofilipin/watirbook.git from the command line on both machines
I can clone via Git/SSH URL from Jenkins on 32-bit machine, but not on 64-bit machine.
The only difference I can notice between the two machines (not counting that one is a virtual machine on my laptop, and another is a real machine in Switzerland) is that the first one is 32-bit and the second one is 64-bit.
Not sure if that could be related, but 32-bit machine has location set to Croatia, and 64-bit machine to Switzerland (as you can see from Git output in French).
For more information please see my blog post: Jenkins, Windows and Git
I've gone through these pains recently. Especially frustrating is the lack of error logs in this scenario: probably because MSysgit prompts user on the console when trying to recover - which doesn't get through Jenkins console.
Based on my experience here are a few key elements to watch for:
a mix of both Msysgit and Cygwin installed: MSysgit worked better for me- but I assume you're using that too
some people have more luck with <MSYSGIT_ROOT>\cmd\git.cmd than <MSYSGIT_ROOT>\bin\git.exe
making sure your slave runs as the same user (which is not the default upon service-based installs).. - oh I see you got that too
setting HOME variable for windows slaves explicity
basically make sure the same .ssh keys are reached when under Jenkins.
for debugging, I found it useful to create a test job with no SCM, but run git clone in an "Execute shell/batch" build step. That should reveal a bit more info. BTW, you can do an env in the same step and maybe ls %HOME%/.ssh
I think the above is what gave me a working a Windows 7 64bit Jenkins slave with git support - although I thought this had more to do with some other fine config detail than with 64 vs 32 bits. Good luck anyhow!
In the latest version of git, had to use %GIT_HOME%/cmd/git.exe, rather than %GIT_HOME%/bin/git.exe and figuring out the home directory of the user running the jenkins service.
Another issue i faced with was, ssh.exe was not looking at the %userprofile%/.ssh folder for the key files. Instead it was looking to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\.ssh which was empty and which causes a hang due to ssh authentication prompt on the machine where git repo located.
We just copied the key files under %userprofile%/.ssh to C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\.ssh and the problem is resolved.
Notes from a hard learned lesson.
I had problems getting the ssh to work running Jenkins as a named user account for ssh+git.
Here is what I had to do to solve the problem:
Generate the key using ssh-keygen (note where they are located)
Set "HOME" to this location
I tried with puttygen and GET_SSH=plink that all failed very bad but no clear errors.
When you have to use any configuration options from a per-user configuration file eg. ~/.ssh/config you can put them in C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\ssh\ssh_config, the key files can be put in C:\Program Files (x86)\Git.ssh
If your account is attached to domain. Then you need to make sure user for which the Jenkins Slave is ran. For the purpose open Settings->Properties of "Jenkins Slave"->Log On. and choose necessary user from domain for correct execution.
Since my Windows Jenkins was a slave, I needed to configure that node to find the git in cmd instead of bin as described by inger. To do this, go to Manage Jenkins, Manage Nodes, click on the appropriate node, click on Configure and then go to the Tool Locations. Find git in the drop-down and then specify the path to git.exe (including git.exe), like C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe.
I confirmed that the cmd/git.exe worked differently than the bin/git.exe from both command-line and with a temporary jenkins job using the git command (instead of an scm repo).

Just add a ssh-enabled user logon to Jenkins and it should work smoothly.
