Jenkins fails to run gulp build task with Github plugin

Question

I've tried the same steps in Mac it works without any problem, in my Windows machine when I try to run a simple Gulp build task with Jenkins Github plugin it wont work, I just tried every think (allows Git/java in the firewall, changing the timeout value, restarting the service, run the service from the cmd...) , still throws the same ERROR :

Can someone help me figuring out what's going wrong ?

Answer 1

The problem is that git fetch runs into a timeout after 10 minutes:

 > C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress https://github.com/lapalateam/LapalaApp.git +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
ERROR: Timeout after 10 minutes

You can increase the timeout by adding "Advanced clone behaviours" in "Additional Behaviours" and set the "Timeout (in minutes) for clone and fetch operations" to eg 20.
