When building a project on jenkins during the initial stages which involves pulling new files froma Git repos, the pulling fails and the build does not proceed.

Is anyone else experiencing this and knows how to resolve it?

To be clear, Jenkins was building sucessfully yesterday and after applying some updates today morning to Jenkins, the failure occurred. I rolled back the Jenkins update but still have this issue

CodePudding user response：

There was a problem in the Git plugin as Asturio mentioned. They have released a hotfix and after updating to the latest version, we're good to go :)

CodePudding user response：

Update the git plugin of Jenkins to version 4.11.3, it has fixed this bug. Do it from Jenkins Manager --> Manage Plugins --> Updates for git
