Question

I have an issue similar to this one: Jenkins stopped work on checking out revision (I think…) My problem is however not that it hangs up but instead that it just crashes. I can’t seem to figure out what is wrong. I have no idea, and the console output aren’t really helping me out. Any help would be appreciated!

Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE

UPDATE

My build shell commands looks like this:

source ~/.bashrc
cd .
rm -rf jenkins && mkdir jenkins
export RAILS_ENV=test
bundle install
rake db:drop db:create db:structure:load
SPEC_OPTS="--format html" rspec spec > jenkins/rspec.html
SPEC_OPTS="--format html" rspec spec_without_rails > jenkins/rspec.html

Answer 1

The problem is nothing to do with git. The checkout completed successfully, and the first “Execute Shell” step started executing, and subsequently failed (as given in the penultimate line of the log).

The RVM command (or whatever it is) is failing in some way. I guess because the find execution fails to find any files.

When a script exits with a non-zero return code, it fails the Jenkins build.
