[JENKINS-75183] Missing <triggers> XML Configuration in Job Definition after Post request #723
Description
- Problem: After updating the CloudBees Folder Plugin from version 6.955.v81e2a_35c08d3 to 6.959.v4ed5cc9e2dd4, the section of our job configuration XML is not being processed correctly when submitted. We send job configurations as XML via a POST request using the URL:
{host}/{project}/createItem?name={project}The XML part with triggers section looks like:
"cloudbees-folder@6.9"> PLACEHOLDER_PERIODIC_FOLDER_TRIGGER_SPEC PLACEHOLDER_PERIODIC_FOLDER_TRIGGER_INTERVALand it's missing in the configuration that Jenkins receives. Instead, only appears, which then defaults to a 1-day interval.
- Temporary Solution: After the job is initially created, we can manually update the section by sending an updated XML configuration via a POST request to:
{host}/{project}/job/{project}/config.xmlThis allows us to set the correct trigger configuration, but the initial creation does not process the triggers as expected.
- Expected Behavior: The complete XML snippet should be processed and reflected in the job configuration upon initial creation.
- Actual Behavior: The section is omitted during initial creation, requiring a manual update to set the correct configuration.
- Jenkins Version: 2.479.3
- Plugin Version: 6.980.v5a_cc0cb_25881
