Introduction
Syncs configuration files to a SCM repository and tracks changes done to them
Plugin Information
SCM Sync Configuration Jenkins/Hudson plugin is aimed at 2 main features :
- Keep sync'ed your config.xml (and other ressources) jenkins/hudson files with a SCM repository
- Track changes (and author) made on every file with commit messages
Installation
 | titre
It seems Subversion plugin >= 2.0 is incompatible with current version of Scm-Sync-Configuration plugin
No fix has been provided yet for this issue. You can track issue #21640 if you want to be informed about proper resolution for this issue. |
 | Warning
A critical bug is hitting v0.0.7 if you have maven multimodules (lots of undesired commits are performed)
More infos on issue issue #17545
This issue is fixed in 0.0.7.1 |
| Warning
Seems like a blocking bug is hitting v0.0.6 on windows jenkins installations.
More infos on issue issue #15285
This issue is fixed in 0.0.6.1 |
| Warning
Prior to v0.0.3, If you are trying to synchronize your configuration file with a SVN repository using another protocol than http/https, synchronization won't occur.
This is related to issue #8871 |
| Warning
A blocker bug has been detected if you are using m2release plugin. Don't install scm-sync-configuration plugin 0.0.1 if you are in this case !
Update: Bug has been fixed in 0.0.2 |
To install SCM Sync Configuration Plugin, Go to the "plugin management" section in the administration Panel.
Latest released version will be available. Install it from there (you should need to restart Jenkins/Hudson after that).
To verify that the plugin is well installed, go to the Administration panel, then in the "System configuration" section : you should notice a "SCM Sync Configuration" section :
Usage
On the System configuration panel (seen above), you'll be prompted for a SCM type (as of this writing, Subversion or Git) and a repository URL for your SCM type.
When you'll complete this form section, and validate the form, the SCM Sync Configuration will compute every configuration file he is able to synchronize, and commit them, for initialization, on your SCM repository.
Warning : This first step can take a few minutes !
Once initialized, every time you'll submit a configuration view that can be sync'ed by the SCM Sync Configuration plugin, you'll be prompted for a comment that will be put on the commit message on your SCM Repository.
For now, supported configuration files are the following ones :
- Job configuration files (/jobs/*/config.xml)
- Global Jenkins/Hudson system configuration file (/config.xml)
- Basic plugin configuration files (/hudson*.xml, /scm-sync-configuration.xml)
- User-defined manual includes (see this dedicated page)
But more default configuration files are planned ! (see the Product Backlog for further informations)
On every pages, you will have some scm sync config status at the bottom of the page, saying if something went wrong :
| Warning
To use a Git server with SSH, you have to accept the server SSH key before using the plugin (same for using Git in Jenkins jobs). |

Releases
0.0.8 (Aug, 24th, 2014)
Tasks
- Upgraded to maven scm api 1.9.1 (from 1.6)
Bugfixes
- issue #22820 (major) Changes are not commited when using a recent git client (>= 1.9)
- issue #15128 (major) Renaming job doesn't work with Git
Thanks to Roger Hu who fixed issue #22820 and helped to fix issue #15128 by upgrading git scm api to 1.9.1.
0.0.7.5 (Jul, 5th, 2014)
Bugfixes
- issue #23036 (major) : Fix root URL issue on reload link
Thanks to Kiana Tennyson for her contribution PR #20
0.0.7.4 (Feb, 12th, 2014)
Improvements
- Cloudbees folders support, thanks to ndeloof for his contribution PR #19
0.0.7.3 (July, 24th, 2013)
Bugfixes
- issue #18867 (major) : New link allowing to purge fail logs for scm-sync-configuration was breaking the page if jquery plugin was pulled on the instance
Improvements
- Synchronized users config files
0.0.7.2 (July, 20th, 2013)
Bugfixes
Improvements
- Allowing to reset scm sync status failing file, by clicking on an hyperlink (administrators only)
Thanks to Joey Jiao for his contribution in PR #16
0.0.7.1 (May, 24th, 2013)
Bugfixes
- issue #17545 (critical) : On multimodules jobs, submodules' config.xml were constantly (on every build) commited on repository, resulting in lots of noise in commits history, and even blacklistings on github
0.0.7 (January, 25th, 2013)
This release should likely have been tagged 0.0.6.2 instead of 0.7.0, there isn't any big step by upgrading.
Bugfixes
- issue #14893 : scm sync configuration causes memory leak (thanks mhelff)
- Not nesting RuntimeException into ServletException, fixing spring security redirection to login page (thanks ndeloof)
0.0.6.1 (October, 28th, 2012)
Bugfixes
- issue #14640 : Create view form was not handled correctly on 1.466 and above
- issue #15266 : Reducing SCM Sync commits logs to FINEST level (instead of INFO)
- issue #15285 : Fixed blocking bug on Windows installations where plugin didn't start correctly
0.0.6 (September, 18th, 2012)
Improvements
- User defined files being committed (issue #8225 which implies issue #14642, issue #14812, issue #15018) : Now, you can add user-defined custom paths to synchronize on the system page. Don't hesitate to share yours on the dedicated page.
- Commits should be made asynchronously (issue #14214 which implies, I think, issue #9166 and issue #10967) : now, commiting files is not blocking but postponed into an asynchronous queue. This will lead in performance improvements on large jenkins instance + lower the chance to have concurrent modifications on files (file content to commit is saved).
- Bulk transactional commit (issue #13613) : before v0.0.6, 1 file modified = 1 commit. Prior to 0.0.6, if during an HTTP request, you modify several files, they will all be committed into a single commit.
It should greatly improve the commit readability, and lead to atomic commits.
Note that "automatic" (ie "non manual") file changes will remain commited one by one (this is difficult to identify a "system-wide transaction").
- Allowing to reload configuration files from SCM : added an hyperling on global Jenkins configuration page for doing this
- Commit messages improved (issue #14568) : now, deleted / renamed / updated files are labeled into the commit "technical part" of the message
Bugs
- issue #14582 : Fix issue when your jenkins webapp has a context path (not the context root)
Known Bugs on this release
- If you're using Git, job rename won't work as expected. This is related to issue #15128 which relies on a bug in maven scm api. Once the bug will be fixed in maven scm api, I'll align on it and it will fix the problem in the plugin.
- A regression has been identified (issue #15221) concerning the initial check in when jenkins starts.
In previous version, if some files in jenkins_home were not present in the scm, these files were added. In 0.0.6 it isn't the case and should considered as a major regression.
0.0.5 (April, 25th, 2012)

Note that you will have to make a trick to make this work, as I described in this comment
- Fixed issue #11106 : Automatically set focus to commit message field when prompt appear
Tasks
- Welcome Bertrand Paquet aboard !

Improvements
- SCM Repository configuration in system panel
- Prompt for commit message each time a Job Configuration is modified
Roadmap (future versions)
v0.1
- (done) Provide a "commit everything modified with following comment" button on system page (Will be useful if you want to globally edit your config files (via a groovy console script for example) and commit everything with a comment)
- Provide first strategy implementation allowing to backup every of your job configuration files (when submitting job configuration form) with a personnal commit message
- Refactor the SCM access layer, dropping usage of maven scm api in favour to jenkins scm API which will allow credentials sharing

v0.3
- Provide configuration history on each configuration type page
- (done) Provide new SCM connection implementations : cvs,
git, others?
Current bugs to solve before v0.1
- Replace special linux characters ( " for example) when syncing
- Check if updated repository on system config page is empty and display a warning if not

However I don't seem to get it running :-/
I did:
- "Manage Jenkins"
- "Configure System"
- "SCM Sync configuration" - radio button to Subversion and added a repository (however for testing i did an different repos on a different machine than where my project sources reside)
- click "Save"
nothing happens, i'd expect a box asking for credentials.
Is there some log somewhere (sorry i'm new to jenkins so i don't know if there is some standard place to look)

Hi Patrick ! From Hudson Home, go to "Manage Hudson" > "System log"...Hi Patrick !
From Hudson Home, go to "Manage Hudson" > "System log" and there, add a new log recorder.
Put the name of your choice in this recorder, and add the logger "hudson.plugins.scm_sync_configuration" with log level "all".
Then you will be able to see logs generated by the SCM Sync configuration plugin.
This was for the log part.
For the other part, some questions :
- Are you using http / https / file svn protocol ? If yes, that's fine. If you're using svn+ssh protocol, there is an issue on the 0.0.3 (see disclaimer on top of this page)
- When you browse your HUDSON_HOME/scm-sync-configuration/checkoutConfiguration/ directory, is there a .svn directory inside it ?
- When you look into your HUDSON_HOME/hudson.scm.SubversionSCM.xml, is there your repository and your encrypted credentials in it ?
- When you look into your HUDSON_USER_HOME/.subversion/auth/ directory, is there some subdirectories where reside some SVN credentials allowing to connect to your svn repository where configuration files will be synced ?

I get a pop up for -m option of SVN and I can submit. All seems to be well at this point except the commit to svn does not take place....
In the $JENKINS_HOME/scm-sync-configuration/checoutConfiguration I see .svn directories
When I do "svn status" I see my changes (additions, modifications)
From here I can do svn commit to "sync" jenkins with SVN, but that's what I'd hope this plugin would do.
------------
Here is additional information, answers to the 4 questions you had for Patrick:
I am using http
I do have .svn directories
I don't have my repository in the hudson.scm.SunversionSCM.xml file! what exactly should in this file? How does this file get updated?
I do have a .subversion directory.

" If you are trying to synchronize your configuration file with a SVN repositor..." If you are trying to synchronize your configuration file with a SVN repository using another protocol than http/https, synchronization won't occur.
This is related to issue #8871 "
I'm using svn protocol. Peliminary sync with SCM was correct (all config.xml created correctly), but others config's modifications weren't sync with SCM (no any new commits, plugin not asked about commit message and there is no any errors in plugin's log), that's correct?
I supposed that svn protocol won't work at all in this plugin.

Hi Andrey, The svn protocol limitation appeared in v0.0.3 with issue issue #819...Hi Andrey,
The svn protocol limitation appeared in v0.0.3 with issue issue #8197. This issue wasn't taking into account SVN credentials entered via Hudson/Jenkins. Instead, svn credentials located in your ~/.svn/auth/ directory were used to sync your files (that is ... really not user friendly to debug)
To fix issue #8197 I had to change maven scm provider from svnexe (which relies on your $PATH/svn command) to javasvn (implementation based on java API svnkit).
Problem is : with svnjava, only http / https / file protocols are supported (see the "NOTES" on svnjava home page)
As soon as svn (or others) protocol will be supported in svnjava, only thing I'll have to do is upgrade my version to be compliant.
Finally, what are your log level for scm-sync-configuration ? I think when credentials are not set, I only put a warning message (and not an error one).

Could you try, in a first time, by disabling credentials, to see if it works ?
Then, if it works, re-enable credentials, then go to your hudson system page (http://JENKINS_ROOT/configure) then :
If you don't have any credential prompt for your svn local repo, try to manually go to the following url : http://JENKINS_ROOT/scm/SubversionSCM/enterCredential?file://localhost/project1/
Ensure that your credentials are correctly stored for your realm by opening file JENKINS_HOME/hudson.scm.SubversionSCM.xml
Then, go back to the http://JENKINS_ROOT/configure screen, switch to "no scm", validate form, go back to form and switch to "subversion scm", enter your scm url file://localhost/project1/ then validate.
Does it work ? :-)

The SVN repository is the same as what all my other jobs use to poll SVN, and those are all working beautifully. Still, this plugin just refuses to do anything, and gives absolutely no explanation why.
My SCM URL is using "svn+ssh://" (with SSH private key authentication), which the SubversionSCM plugin itself has no problems at all with (all jobs that use SVN are using this exact same base URL, and they all work perfectly). I even removed all of my previously saved subversion-credentials, reloaded, and rentered what was needed. On the System Configuration screen, I see that it attempts to login in order to verify credentials, and succeeds. But upon saving any configuration files, I get no "commit message" popup, and my repository is still empty.
I created the svn directory before configuring the plugin (svn mkdir --parents svn+ssh://svn.home/var/svn/config/jenkins/ -m'Initial commit'), and the directory is still empty (maybe I'm not supposed to create the directory first???). I haven't found anything obvious yet, that can explain what I'm doing wrong
But it feels like either something is documented incorrectly, not documented clearly enough, there's a bug, or none of the above and I'm simply blind as a bat..?

If I install an empty jenkins and configure the scm-sync-configuration the first time to a scm path that contains a (valid) configuration tree,

For emergency cases, a feature to recover a specific release from scm would be nice.

I have worked a bit on Hudson plugins (nothing too complicated, just small additions and modifications to existing plugins), but if you're interested, maybe I can take a swing at implementing it?

I'm not working on this feature for the time being, but things are already up to welcome a new SCM implementation (like the git one).
scm-sync-configuration is based on maven-scm-api which provide a scm abstraction among every SCMs.
Feel free to contact me by email if you want further informations / inputs to start this feature

I have a problem with this plugin. As fcamblor mentioned above:
"- When you browse your HUDSON_HOME/scm-sync-configuration/checkoutConfiguration/ directory, is there a .svn directory inside it?"
So that's my cause - by some strange reason all .svn folders are gone. Could someone tell me please how to fix it and what caused the problem?

Then, re-select your subversion scm and fill the scm coordinates.
It will reset your repository (and then re-synchronize everything, then re-put your .svn).
FYI, this could be happened if you changed your credentials on your SVN server, and didn't applied this change in jenkins.
FYI, too, I'm planning to implement this feature of "resetting your current repository" in a future version of the plugin.

I updated it to last 0.0.5 version and it switched automatically to 'none' instead of my repository path at plugin settings.
I switched it back to my repository, I saw hudson/home/scm-sync-configuration/checkoutConfiguration/jobs folder was deleted and created in short period of time.
All job configurations and config.xml files was added to checkoutConfiguration folder but there was no .svn folders in it.
I switched repository settings back to 'none' and saved the configuration - checkoutConfiguration folder was deleted.
Then I switched settings back to my repository path, checkoutConfiguration was created, jobs and config.xml files was copied into it but not .svn folders again :-)

You will see, inside it, that every SVN credentials will be stored with a key which is your "svn realm"
The svn realm is something I don't really catch personnaly, but it is a phrase describing your svn repository (and that is configured on the server side, in the apache configuration, it is configured with the "realm" routine)
And I think in your case, the realm will differ between the 'myrepository.com' and the 'www.myrepository.com' urls so jenkins won't succeed to retrieve credentials for the second one.

In our team, there are 3 people that can modify/configure Jenkins itself and the jobs, which can lead to confusion (who changed what wen?) so i thought it would be logical to have not only the atomic versioning of any change in the config, but also the restoring of a known-working config.

In this case, you have to do a manual pull + push. To do so, go to the directory $JENKINS_HOME/scm-sync-configuration/checkoutConfiguration/ and execute git pull followed by git push. If that was successful, you should delete the file $JENKINS_HOME/scm-sync-configurationfail.log.
At least it worked for me (plugin-version 0.0.5).
Maybe you can change the plugin, so that it always does a pull before a push?

I have got this working by caching the svn username/password in .subversion folder. This obviosuly is just a work around and would look to find a proper resolution rather than having to use the cached password, since it could be overwritten anytime and the pasword is also stored in plain text.
It looks like the plugin is using the unix user id (id used to start the jenkins process) rather than the id/password specified in the hudson.scm.SubversionSCM.xml. However since the logs do not print the user it is trying to use to check in I cannot confirm the same. As I understand from the forums and documentation v0.0.5 should be using the credentials from the xml file rather than the jenkins process, isnt it. The subversion plugin installed with Jenkins is v1.34 in case that helps as well.
Our Jenkins setup does not have any authentication setup and all jobs run as anonymous user.
Looking forward to hearing back from you

It seems that SCM Sync plugin is using SVN client 1.7 even when Jenkins subversion plugin is configured to use the 1.6 subversion workspace version. While it is working even when our SVN server is 1.6, it still presents a problem for us, since we have no SVN 1.7 client installed on our Jenkins server.
Since SVN client 1.7 has different file layout schema than 1.6 clients - it is impossible to use our SVN 1.6 client in case where a SCM Sync plugin reported problems need to be fixed manually.
Is there any workaround for this problem, without installing 1.7 SVN client on Jenkins server ?

Have you looked at the troobleshooting page ?
If you go inside the JENKINS_HOME/scm-sync-configuration/checkoutConfiguration/ and try to manually commit these files (using regular svn command), what happens ?

* If I modify a job configuration a config.xml is committed under folder <repository_root>\job_name
* If I modify a Jenkins configuration like modifying nodes etc then a config.xml is committed under root.
* If I modify anything in manage Jenkins then some Jenkins related files are committed under root.
I need only config.xml under job_name folder. Is there any option to exclude other commits?
Is there any option to commit the files in to a user defined path or subfolders of git repo like <repository_root>\jenkins?

I think, there must be some concurrency issue with the plugin. We have a lot of jobs and slaves, so our Jenkins master has load. I happened to change several jobs the following way:
1. opening several job config pages in several browser tabs
2. doing small change in one job config
3. pasting comment for saving the configuration of the job
4. close the tab, and go to next job with step 2.
I noticed, that the comment I defined is not always saved correctly. My name is always there, and the job name as well, but the comment not. I would tip on that the sync plugin commits to git in a separate thread, and somehow the commit comment "field" is somehow cleared, when the next job pops up the commit comment dialog. I am pretty sure, that it is a concurrency issue.
Anyone noticed this as well?
My version of the plugin is 0.0.7.3, and Jenkins version is 1.544.
Regards,
Gábor Lipták

You're right, there *might* be concurrency issues because of the way the plugin works.
If you look at the ScmSyncConfigurationDataProvider class, you'll see I use the current user session to store & retrieve things (particularly commit comment).
This is done in order to be able to plug the "commit comment" popup on every potential jenkins page.
Typical workflow :
=> That is to say, if another tab is submitted during steps 4 & 6 AND these tabs use the same user session as yours (that is to say : you submit another form on another tab) there might be cases where messages could be mingled.
However, given my current jenkins plugin dev knowledge, I don't know how I could improve this .. for the time being, I think we should live with it.
But I'm opened to any suggestion

If there would be something like TAB ID, which would be appended to the session scope variable name, then we would have no such problem. I sadly have no idea, if any mechanism is in Jenkins to distinguish between browser tabs on server side. Maybe others know about this more.
Till then maybe it is nice to state in the documentation, that this is a known issue with the plugin and the Jenkins infrastructure.

Gábor

If I were able to submit the tab id alongside the configuration form data (step 5), I would be able to submit the commit comment message as well.
Problem is : I can't associate generically my data with every potential jenkins model data
This is the reason why I make it in a 2-steps submission.

I have a strange bug. I cannot save my changes to a job. If I change only the description and I save it, it works. If I delete a parameter, I click on save, the popup for the message comes, I click on submit, and nothing happens. I am still on the configuration page, and the save button does not have any effect anymore. The javascript console contains this:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'submit' of null codemirror.js:1531
wrappedSubmit codemirror.js:1531

Any idea?

First of all, thanks for your hard work. Very much appreciated :)
I encountered some issues when trying to get it running though.
My current setup is Jenkins 1.562 and SCM Sync configuration plugin version 0.0.7.4.
I also have a bitbucket repository which I want to use for backing up the Jenkins' config with your plugin.
I am having an issue with committing and pushing to the git repository. I did add the git repository url to the SCM Sync configs in *Manage Jenkins > Configure System *and I do get the pop up box asking for a comment. But once I submit the comment, the changes are not committed and pushed to the remote git repository. Here is the last log from the log recorder:

My question is: Is the plugin supposed to commit and push to the git repo as well? Or should I manually add a cron job to perform this operation?
Ideally the plugin would be doing that after submitting the changes to SCM so that we do not have to have a cron job to check for differences and commit/push.

Thanks for the awesome plug in. I was looking for a plugin which integrated Perforce and the Job Config History Plugin so that the config files could be managed by Perforce. Originally I was going to edit the job config history plugin source code to accomplish this but then I found this plugin. Has anybody tried modifying it to run with Perforce or are plans in the works to do this? Also, if anyone has any thoughts on the feasibility of doing this, I would appreciate you sharing them with me.
Thank you!
