What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

• Controller: Official Docker image: docker.io/jenkins/jenkins:2.452.2-jdk17
• Agents: Rocky Linux 9

Reproduction steps

We manage our Jenkins job definitions with Terraform and the Jenkins API. Whenever we try to push up new configuration, it fails. Please find further details below.

Expected Results

Job definition updates without error. : ]

Actual Results

Exception!

Anything else?

We recently updated our Jenkins plugins, notably

• gitlab4j → 5.6.0-97.v6603a_83f8690 and
• gitlabbranchsource → 704.vc7f1202d7e14.

Specifically, I believe the gitlab4j authors made a backwards-incompatible change in 224f4c5 in which the signature of org.gitlab4j.api.ProjectApi.addHook changed its boolean argument from boolean to Boolean. I believe the GitLabHookCreator is still trying to use the old/gone signature here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-branch-source-plugin/blob/67b7169092caba41933f8a90fed28ea3d027f6dd/src/main/java/io/jenkins/plugins/gitlabbranchsource/GitLabHookCreator.java#L231

Obviously, it's not great that addHook got changed in a backwards-incompatible way. But it seems like it would be useful for the hook creator in this plugin to enjoy an update that allows it to use the new method.

Are you interested in contributing a fix?

Would that it were.

[waeller]

Same here.

It worked again after manually downloading and installing version 5.3 of the Gitlab API Plugin from https://updates.jenkins.io/download/plugins/gitlab-api/

[pennello]

Thanks @waeller ; we'll give that a try. Our less-than-ideal workaround was to disable web hook management on the plugin (which is the code path in which it tries to call addHook), run our Terraform updates, and then re-enable web hook management!

[Takaranoao]

Same here.

It worked again after manually downloading and installing version 5.3 of the Gitlab API Plugin from https://updates.jenkins.io/download/plugins/gitlab-api/

Same problem, this solution works.

[officeprofile1234]

same here, rollback helped.

[nathan-objective]

We have also hit this problem in our environment.

Updating the version of the BOM for the plugin worked for us. The version changes are listed in PR #438.

[pennello]

Awesome @nathan-objective !

[Flexba]

We also hat that issue in our environment and downgraded to fix it.

Thanks for the PR @nathan-objective !

[jakegt1]

I guess no one is around to merge nathan's change?

[basil]

Fixed in https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-branch-source-plugin/pull/438. Released in 710.v6f19df32544b_.
