I got that error when I was trying to use the Bitbucket Build Status Notifier Plugin ( https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Bitbucket+Cloud+Build+Status+Notifier+Plugin ) on Jenkins CI. I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu5XcU4EPzQ but I don't know what the problem is.

Answer 1

Hi i had a similar issue with a newly installed jenkins 2.60.2. I tried to access the absolute URL from a RunWrapper object in Groovy, but got also this error, although the jenkins location was correctly configured.

The problem was, that the email address was not valid. I changed it to [email protected] and my root URL issue was gone.

I think its a bug, or at least a missing documentation about that fact that "root url" also need a configured email address within the jenkins configuration.

Answer 2

The answer is simpler than I thought, but I couldn't find it anywhere. On BitBucket in the user profile settings and in OAuth, the consumer you create have to have the Callback URL ending with /. For example: Before was: http://jenkinsUrl:8080 and it was throwing that error, now I just added the / and it worked: http://jenkinsUrl:8080/

Answer 3

You need to set your Jenkins URL.

Go to Manage Jenkins->Configure System

Under Jenkins Location specify your public Jenkins URL.

Answer 4

In my case, sometimes the correct value is set in the Manage Jenkins > System > Jenkins URL but needs to be saved again to make it work properly.
