Jenkins/Hudson fails when trying to retrieve code from CVS

Trying to configure Jenkins CI. Currently just running it from the .war (eventual intention as a service). Jenkins is aware of th开发者_如何转开发e CVS executable (i.e. will read the version [Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.62.1817 (client/server)]).

The .cvspass is not specified, because they apparently do not play nice with CVSNT (which prefers to keep passwords in the registry.) I've specified the password in the job config by using the :pserver:user:passg@server:/dir pattern for CVSROOT, which I found suggested in some places. Regardless of whether I run using that, or :pserver:userg@server:/dir as the CVSROOT I get the blinking red ball, jenkins stuck with a nearly full progress bar for 2 and a half minutes. It then fails. The console output yells with something like

FATAL: hudson.scm.ChangeLogSet.iterator()Ljava/util/Iterator; java.lang.AbstractMethodError: hudson.scm.ChangeLogSet.iterator()Ljava/util/Iterator; at hudson.model.AbstractBuild.getCulprits(AbstractBuild.java:282) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild.getCulprits(AbstractBuild.java:279) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractRunner.post(AbstractBuild.java:596) at hudson.model.Run.run(Run.java:1400) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:46) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:88) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:175)

Both CVSROOTs I'm using provide no trouble with TortoiseSVN. I've found some mention of difficult of logging into SVN from jenkins as a service and related user/system issues, but considering I'm running it from the .war I don't think that's the issue.

EDIT:

Interestingly the console log if I use an invalid user or password recognizes such.

cvs [checkout aborted]: authorization failed: server rejected access to /dir for user FOO FATAL: CVS failed. exit code=1 Finished: FAILURE

which indicates that Hudson is talking to the CVS server and authenticating, but something else goes wrong.

/EDIT

Cheers

Answer to the question found, thanks to rpetti on #jenkins on freenode. Problem was I had switched between Hudson and Jenkins and there were some incompatible configuration files that were mucking things up. Deleting and recreating the home directory solved the problem.

CVSNT 2.0.62.1817 is very very old and has several known security issues. Please upgrade to the latest 2.8.01.
