Jenkins build fails with GitLockFailedException on Windows

Question

I am setting up a Jenkins' slave running Windows XP to build a C++ -based project. Empty jobs run fine, hence I conclude that basic functionality is working. Still, when I try to add a git repo to clone I get an error:

Searching for GitLockFailedException gives no clue and I think I'm missing something. I tried to run Jenkins Slave Service as regular user (didn't help), tried to manually git clone in the Run Windows Command build step (works, though requires more effort). What can be the problem?

Answer 1

I would say that you must update your Jenkins to the latest version. Very likely it will resolve the issue.

And do not forget to override git settings for Windows node in Configure->Node Properties->Tool Locations .
