Jobs are stopped being triggered - java.lang.NullPointerException: There is no credentials with admin access to manage hooks on GitHubRepositoryName[host=github.com,username=myorgname,repository=myreponame]

[liyaka]

I have all the latest Jenkins github plugins:

GitHub API Plugin 1.95 
GitHub Branch Source Plugin 2.4.1  
 GitHub Integration Plugin  0.2.4 
GitHub plugin 1.29.3 
GitHub Pull Request Builder  1.42.0 

I have several pipeline jobs configured to be triggered on every push on master on GitHub. They worked just fine until lately (unfortunately I can't point to a specific day when it stopped working). I can see this error in system log and in GitHubHookRegisterProblemMonitor page:

Failed to add GitHub webhook for GitHubRepositoryName[host=github.com,username=MYORGNAME,repository=MYREPO]

The weird thing is it says [host=github.com,username=MYORGNAME,repository=MYREPO] while username is my organization name instead of the user that has the key defined.

I did all the checks described here: https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/224621648-GitHub-Webhook-Troubleshooting Please advice how it can be fixed.

Looks similar to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-49332

[m-barthelemy]

Same exact issue here: same error, and username is also set to our org name.

[KarlOfDuty]

Same issue here too.

[christiansaiki]

Same issue, but ours is a bit weird. We've just migrated from bitbucket to github and some how the plugin is getting host=bitbucket.org for some repos. Does anyone know how to fix it?

[ChaiBapchya]

Same issue here too!

[FAROUG]

Anyone found a solution to it

[KarlOfDuty]

I manually added a webhook to the repos I was interested in.

[johanneshiry]

@KarlOfDuty could you provide some more information how you added the webhooks manually?

[KostyaSha]

github repo settings -> webhooks
