Changelog

2.39

Release date: 2021-05-10

2.38

Release date: 2021-03-03

  • Fix: ExecutorStepTest fails due to changes in LoadBalancer for Jenkins versions > 2.65 (PR #150)
  • Fix: Typo in resource directory for PowerShellCoreScriptStep (PR #149)
  • Update user-facing documentation to use build agent terminology (PR #148)

2.37

Release date: 2020-11-18

  • Fix: Prevent build widget from breaking in cases where users have read access to a Pipeline job but not its parent (JENKINS-63486)
  • Internal: Fix typo in changelog (PR #142)

2.36

2020 Aug 17

  • New feature: Add support for global build step env var filters (JENKINS-62014)
  • New feature: Bind an environment variable named WORKSPACE_TMP in the node and ws steps that points to a temporary directory associated with the workspace as long as the workspace is not a filesystem root (JENKINS-60634, JENKINS-61197)
  • Fix: When using the snippet generator for the sh, bat, powershell, or pwsh steps, label: '' was unnecessarily added to the Groovy output even when no label was specified (PR 121)
  • Fix: Do not load builds from disk when computing the affinity key for the node step after a Jenkins restart (JENKINS-60389)
  • Improvement: Allow messages printed to build logs when the node step is waiting on an agent to display rich text such as hyperlinks (PR 134)
  • Improvement: Update plugin description (PR 100)
  • Internal: Update minimum required Jenkins version to 2.248, update parent POM and update dependencies (PR 127, PR 137)
  • Internal: Use new APIs from Jenkins core to autocomplete and validate labels for the node step in the snippet generator (JENKINS-26097)
  • Internal: Replace usage of deprecated APIs and general code cleanup (PR 133, PR 140)
  • Internal: Remove redundant security warnings from README (PR 124)

2.35

2019 Nov 01

  • Add pwsh step, which works exactly like the existing powershell step, but runs pwsh.exe instead of powershell.exe. For use with PowerShell Core 6.0 and newer. (JENKINS-48803)

2.34

2019 Sep 10

  • Fix: Prevent the node step from holding a strong reference to its body at runtime to avoid a memory leak. (PR 117)
  • Improvement: The fix for JENKINS-41854 in version 2.31 of this plugin resulted in confusing errors (a MissingContextVariableException) when running steps inside of a node step when the agent was disconnected. The error presented in these situations now indicates there is no connection to the specified agent, and when available, the reason that the agent is offline will be printed to the Pipeline's build log. (JENKINS-58900)
  • Internal: Update usages of deprecated APIs to their undeprecated equivalents, various cleanup and refactoring in test code. (PR 114)

2.33

2019 Jul 29

  • Fix: The final line of output from a shell step could be lost if it did not end with a newline in some cases (PR 112)
  • Internal: Update usages of deprecated APIs to their undeprecated equivalents (PR 110, PR 111)

2.32

2019 Jul 05

  • Fix: Abort the build immediately if an agent being used by the build is removed (deconfigured) from Jenkins (JENKINS-49707)

2.31

2019 Jun 03

WARNING: You must update Pipeline Groovy Plugin to version 2.70 along with this update.

  • Fix: Refresh references to files on agents when an agent reconnects. Fixes some cases where a step run on an agent would fail with a RequestAbortedException due to a ChannelClosedException even when the agent was connected to Jenkins if the agent had disconnected earlier during the build. (JENKINS-41854)

2.30

2019 Apr 03

  • Internal: Update parent POM so that the plugin can build with all tests passing on Java 11.

2.29

2019 Jan 31

NOTE: Requires Jenkins 2.150.1 or newer

  • Enhancement: Change the affinity key used by Pipeline builds so that node blocks will use the same agent as in previous builds where possible when using the default Jenkins queue load balancer. (JENKINS-36547)
  • Fix: Add a system property named org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.durable_task.DurableTaskStep.REMOTE_TIMEOUT which is the integer number of seconds for which sh and bat steps wait before timing out calls made to remote agents, such as those used to track the progress of the running script. The default value of the property has been increased from 10 seconds to 20 seconds. Increasing this property is known to fix some cases of jobs failing spuriously with a java.lang.InterruptedException, but will also increase the amount of time before a failure is reported in the case of true failure rather than a remote agent responding slowly. (JENKINS-46507)
  • Internal: Update dependencies to newer versions and fixing resulting test failures so that PCT runs are successful (PR 95, PR 97)
  • Internal: Do not enable watch mode automatically when running tests (PR 96)

2.28

2019 Jan 14

  • Enhancement: Add an optional label argument to the sh, bat, and powershell steps. If specified, the label will be used in the Blue Ocean and Pipeline Step views instead of the default labels (e.g. Shell Script or Windows Batch Script). (JENKINS-55410)
  • Improvement: Log additional information to the build log when a node step fails because the agent has been disconnected. (PR 94)

2.27

2018 Dec 14

  • Fix: Show descriptions for sh and bat steps in the Blue Ocean view when multiple arguments are passed to the step (e.g., returnStatus, returnStdout). Previously, this only worked if the script was the only argument. (JENKINS-52943)

2.26

2018 Nov 01

  • Fix: Adjust log handling behavior in watch mode to work correctly with remotely buffered output (JENKINS-54073). Watch mode is still disabled by default pending releases of the fixes for JENKINS-54133 and JENKINS-54081.
  • Improvement: Make Pipeline placeholder tasks expose the same data through the API as Freestyle builds. (JENKINS-54356)
    • Thanks to community contributors roguishmountain and scoheb for this improvement!
  • Internal: Shut down thread pools when Jenkins shuts down. Should only affect other plugins using this plugin in their tests.

2.25

Oct 24, 2018

2.24

Oct 22, 2018

  • Fix: Distinguish between abort (FlowInterruptedException) and failure (AbortException) for sh and bat steps. Notably, durable tasks with returnStatus: true that are manually aborted or time out will throw an exception where they previously would have succeeded. (JENKINS-28822)
  • Fix: Associate node steps with their build correctly after the Pipeline is restarted. In particular, this prevented custom implementations of QueueTaskDispatcher from handling restarted Pipeline builds correctly. (JENKINS-53837)
  • Improvement: Update documentation for the node step.

2.23

Oct 22, 2018

  • Released incorrectly. Use 2.24 instead.

2.22

Sep 25, 2018

  • Major Enhancement: Durable task logs are now pushed from build agents directly instead of being pulled from the build agent by the Jenkins controller. This reduces controller and network resource usage and will be required for external logging as described in JEP-210. (JENKINS-52165)

2.21

Aug 22, 2018

  • Fix: Ensure that stopping node steps removes them from the queue regardless of the permissions of the user running the build.

2.20

Aug 7, 2018

IMPORTANT: please also upgrade the Pipeline Job Plugin to v2.24+ along with this upgrade, to avoid potential log encoding issues

  • JEP-206 Use UTF-8 for all Pipeline build logs

2.19

Feb 16, 2018

  • Enhancement: Print message describing failure when a step fails with a negative exit code for a system failure (JENKINS-48300)
  • Bug Fix: Correctly show node name when failing a Pipeline that depends on a nonexistent executor (not just one that is offline)
  • Test fix: UTF-8 with Powershell step

2.18

Jan 22, 2018

2.17

Oct 13, 2017

  • JENKINS-42264 Feature: Add links to build nodes that pipelines are running on
  • JENKINS-26148 Use default implementation of StepExecution.stop
  • Fix: Use a dedicated Thread pool rather than Timer.get for DurableTask.Execution.check - avoid using up all Timer threads (PR #53)

2.16

Oct 13, 2017

  • JENKINS-46738 Fix a deadlock that can occur with the PlaceHolderTasks used to claim an executor for a pipeline

2.15

Aug 30, 2017

  • Update to the JENKINS-36013 fix to ensure the timeout applies to resuming builds for ALL node types where the node doesn't exist
    • Covers a few edge cases with EphemeralNodes

2.14

Aug 23, 2017

  • JENKINS-36013 - Prevent Jenkins from spinning indefinitely trying to resume a build where the Agent is an EphemeralNode and will never come back
    • Also covers cases where the node was removed by RetentionPolicy because it is destroyed, by aborting after a timeout (5 minutes by default)
      • This ONLY happens if the Node is removed, not for simply disconnected nodes, and only is triggered upon restart of the controller
    • Added System property 'org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.support.pickles.ExecutorPickle.timeoutForNodeMillis' for how long to wait before aborting builds
  • JENKINS-45553 - Fix a bug from use of Guice
    • Optimize Action lookup when displaying executors used

2.13

July 25, 2017

  • JENKINS-26132 Display current stage on executor.
  • JENKINS-44981 Record information on queued task for reporting.

2.12

Jun 15, 2017

  • JENKINS-34581 Added a powershell step.
  • JENKINS-28182 Kill any spawned processes at the end of a node block.

2.11

Apr 25, 2017

  • Reduce log output to ameliorate JENKINS-42048.
  • Added logging for ExecutorPickle.

2.10

Mar 09, 2017

  • JENKINS-42556 Failure to resume builds inside node when anonymous was granted Overall/Read and Job/Discover but not Job/Read (a mode used to force login redirects from job URLs).
  • JENKINS-34021 Refinements to earlier fix, which under circumstances produced excessive noise in the log after forcible termination of a build inside sh/bat.

2.9

Feb 13, 2017

2.8

Jan 13, 2017

2.7

Jan 10, 2017

  • JENKINS-40909 regression from 2.6 fixed. Only meaningful for updates directly from 2.5-; if you have already updated to 2.6 it is too late.

2.6

Jan 05, 2016

WARNING: Running builds created in 2.5- will not be loadable in this release (JENKINS-40909)

  • JENKINS-40613 Apply a stricter timeout to the Timer task used by sh/bat steps to check for new output.
  • JENKINS-37730 Include more diagnostics in the virtual thread dump for sh/bat steps.
  • JENKINS-38769 Make sure aborting a build inside a sh/bat step does something, even if the agent is unresponsive.
  • JENKINS-37486 NullPointerException thrown when aborting a build under unknown conditions.

2.5

Sep 23, 2016

  • JENKINS-33511 WORKSPACE and NODE_LABELS environment variables now available inside node, matching the behavior of freestyle projects.
  • JENKINS-37121 Unreproducible case of a build resumption hanging when it should have failed at once.
  • Unreproducible case of an executor slot remaining occupied but unkillable after the owning build was already aborted; can now be manually cleared.
  • Clearer display in log when a queue item is canceled while a build is trying to resume.

2.4

Jul 28, 2016

  • JENKINS-26133 Added returnStdout and returnStatus options to sh and bat.

2.3

Jun 29, 2016

  • JENKINS-31842 Provide information about node and sh/bat steps for use in the thread dump.
  • JENKINS-26130, JENKINS-31842 Provide information in the thread dump about pending node step resumption when a build is being restored from disk.

2.2

Jun 16, 2016

  • JENKINS-26130 When a build cannot be properly resumed because an agent it was running on (inside node) is no longer present, or offline, print periodic status messages to the build log rather than hanging silently. Also allow the build to be interrupted cleanly if the agent cannot be reattached.
  • JENKINS-34021 Work around and diagnostics for a NullPointerException when trying to abort a build inside a sh/bat step.

2.1

Jun 09, 2016

  • JENKINS-34281 workaround: if Jenkins denied anonymous read access, under some conditions shutting it down could result in loss of queue items, causing builds with node still waiting scheduling to hang after the restart.
  • If a queue item for a node block is deliberately cancelled, abort the build.
  • JENKINS-34542 Deadlock while interrupting a node step.
  • JENKINS-28240 IllegalStateException was thrown under some conditions.
