After system restart where Jenkins is stored, one of the jobs is constantly failing it is trying to create bulid with number 1 but there is already 1400 past builds. Is there a way to change it so the build will be created with correct increment so in this case 1401.

Full stactrace from jenkins:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: [Directory]\builds\1 already existed; will 
not overwite with [Build.Name] #1

You can use a groovy script in $JENKINS_URL/script as follows:

item = Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName("jobName")
item.updateNextBuildNumber(1401)

It looks like you can use the "Next Build Number" plugin to accomplish this: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Next+Build+Number+Plugin

  • Yes I saw that plugin, unfortunately I cannot use any new plugin's. This is a "frozen" environment for performance tests I i cannot install anything new there I was hoping that this number (or at least increment start) is sitting somewhere in configuration file smiling at me – vertigo448 Jan 03 '18 at 21:37

There is a file you can edit: $JENKINS_HOME/jobs/../nextBuildNumber

$ cat /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/my-project/branches/develop/nextBuildNumber
42

You will need to reload configuration after changing it.
