Description of problem: Cannot add env vars into slave pod template in jenkins webconsole against jenkins-2-rhel7 image Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): brew-pulp.../openshift3/jenkins-2-rhel7:v3.9 (imageid: 4e3dc986043c) openshift v3.9.0-0.15.0 kubernetes v1.9.0-beta1 etcd 3.2.8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a jenkins server via jenkins-2-rhel7 image $ oc new-app jenkins-ephemeral 2.Wait for jenkins pod is ready, log into jenkins webconsole, then add env vars into pod template 'Manege Jenkins' -> 'Configure System' -> 'Cloud' -> 'Kubernetes Pod Template' -> 'EnvVars' 3. Actual results: Cannot add env vars, no response when click 'Add Environment Variable' button Expected results: could add env vars Additional info: work around: create a configmap includes pod template data, then jenkins could pick up pod template automatic, could see env vars have been added.
I think we may have had this reported before and the issue is that you need to define the env var as a jenkins env var before you can add it to the pod template, but not sure. Gabe should be able to confirm. (It is certainly strange if you have to define the env var in jenkins to add it via the console, but can explicitly configure arbitrary env vars when doing it via the xml).
Dongbo Yan's timing is spot on :-) As was Ben's recollection on the item and the workaround Turns out, the k8s plugin is now tracking this via https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-47112 and the repo owner just noted earlier today that the fix is in the v1.1.3 he just published earlier today. We are currently at 1.0.0, and would pick up about another dozen fixes in addition to this one. Ben - and I'll preface that I am on the fence here - what is your take on the risk/reward with updating the k8s plugin version with dcut later today?
Created https://github.com/openshift/jenkins/pull/475 to track. Running a plugin regression.
OK PR has merged and https://buildvm.openshift.eng.bos.redhat.com:8443/job/devex/job/devex%252Fjenkins-plugins/20/ has completed. Moving to on qa for them to try with centos image when it arrives on docker hub or rhel image when it arrives in appropriate staging area.
associated dist-git: http://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/rpms/jenkins-2-plugins/?h=rhaos-3.9-rhel-7
Verified with docker.io/openshift/jenkins-2-centos7 (6d8d0127a29e) kubernetes 1.1.3 could add env vars into pod template in jenkins webconsole. when new rhel image built, will test again. move this bug to modified
Test with brew-pulp.../openshift3/jenkins-2-rhel7 (0c405904a82a) cannot reproduce this issue, could move to verified
