Git and Hudson

Git and Hudson

I just encountered a rather annoying problem when running Hudson as a service on Ubuntu. I was getting the following exception whenever the build checked code out of GitHub:

hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Could not apply tag hudson-Selenium_RC_Plugin-23
 at hudson.plugins.git.GitAPI.tag(GitAPI.java:265)

It turns out Git needs a username to be set and the hudson user that the Debian package creates when Hudson is installed doesnt have one. Easily fixed by using sudo nano /etc/passwd to add Hudson,,, into the hudson users entry (if you look at your own entry you should see where it needs to go).
