在Jenkins中添加SSH网站会引发异常

Question

I am using Jenkins 2.89.2 installed as Windows Service. When I tried to add SSH Site under configuration, I get an exception

Anyone else experienced this error?

Answer 1

It seems to be a known, but not yet fixed bug JENKINS-46172
I've experienced this error when because of errors on page had left unspecified ssh credentials.

In my case "Credentials" list was empty and "Add" button didn't work.
So I had to go to "Jenkins/Credentials" menu and enter credentials there. It made possible to select credentials from list and ssh host addition went without described error.
