Note: please note that Liferay has renamed its Liferay Experience
Could offerings to Liferay SaaS (formerly LXC) and
Liferay PaaS (formerly LXC-SM).
Issue
- When attempting to start a build for an environment, the build fails to start.
- Also, when accessing Jenkins CI, the user runs into an error on the page showing "A problem occurred while processing the request"
Environment
- Liferay PaaS
- Liferay DXP 7.2
Resolution
- Both of the mentioned issues are related to an issue with Jenkins.
- Jenkins has a bug where the spring-web-5.3.11. jar file does not get downloaded, but recently has started requiring it, causing the issue mentioned above.
- If the Jenkins volume is persisted, then the older version of Jenkins will not try to reinstall the jar file
- To resolve this issue, clean the volume and start fresh, and the newer version of Jenkins will properly install this dependency.
