All,
I'm having some problems updating plugins with a current version of Hudson. I
tried to update plugins in v268, and in the update center page, it lists the
plugins I want to update and goes the preparation portion (checking internet,
java.net) ok, but then none of the hpi files appear to have been downloaded and
each of the items are stuck in "pending." When I roll back to v262, the plugins
update as expected. Has anyone else seen this? I'm using Hudson on Windows
Server 2003 and Tomcat 6.0.18. I don't see anything out of the ordinary in
either the Hudson log or Tomcat logs. Can I enable something to provide more
detail on the update center transactions?

Thanks,
topher

This stack dump shows that the thread that is responsible for downloads
and updates is waiting for another job, so is not necessarily an
indication of anything wrong (or right). I've seen the update center
page not refreshing itself, so if you see that a download is "stuck in
pending", it's possible that that the page just failed to reload. If you
manually refresh the page, does it show an updated status?

In my case, no. I've refreshed the page and even enabled auto-refresh. At one
point, I had a meeting and left it for over an hour, but the hpi never showed up
on the machine and the status was still pending. I've stopped and started the
Tomcat service and re-tried it several times. I also removed the
update-center.json file to see if the file was corrupted somehow and that was
causing the problem. None of that worked in my set up. This is also not
related to a specific hpi. I've tried around half dozen with the same result.
Hopefully, I can get some time this week to determine what build this starts
failing on. Right now, I can tell you v262 works, so the breaking version is
between 262(exclusive) and 268(inclusive) and the issue continues in v270. I've
never had to deal with enabling additional logging, but if there's something
useful, I'd be happy to do so if you can tell me how.

Hi all,
I am trying to install Grails plugin and I have problem. From an unknown reason
installation process hangs. Preparation phase is successful but pending state is
never changed to another state. Logs does not show me any clue. Groovy plugin
was installed without any problem. Any help appreciated.

Best regards,

Ales
