Question

We’re using Jenkins CI (version 1.454) as execution engine for automated tests (triggered via Ant). One of my tests runs for at least 1-2 days. I couldn’t exactly find out, since Jenkins always terminates my test before it finishes. Last time after ~20,5h.

We got the “Build timeout” plugin installed, but the test project in question doesn’t have a timeout configured, so it shouldn’t interrupt. The tests are running on a slave node. The global Jenkins configuration does not contain any timeout settings.

I’ve seen two other people having a similar problem, but no answers so far

The console log doesn’t show any indication to an error or timeout. It just says Build aborted and cleans up the nodes workspace.

Answer 1

Jenkins itself does not have a timeout. I have 24 hour performance tests and Jenkins does not abort them.

The java.lang.InterruptedException makes me think there is a signal from your build process which escapes and hits Jenkins. Are you running ant target using the Invoke Ant build step? If you are, you could try to execute a shell build step and in the shell run ant yourtarget.
