Jenkins: Unable to Connect to i7-debian-buster

[sanssecours]

Description

One of the newer Jenkins problems seem to be connection errors to i7-debian-buster:

ERROR: Issue with creating launcher for agent i7-debian-buster. The agent has not been fully initialized yet
Channel "unknown": Remote call on i7-debian-buster failed. The channel is closing down or has closed down

.

Maybe it was only a short connection problem? At the moment i7 is executing a build job.

Maybe it was only a short connection problem?

That might be the case. However, I still think it makes sense to keep this issue open until we know that it wont happen again (often) in the near future.

Jenkins just reported another error on i7-debian-buster that seems to be similar to the one described in this issue:

remote file operation failed

.

Thank you for reporting! Does restarting the job fix the problem?

Does restarting the job fix the problem?

Probably, but the Jenkins build might fail again, because of various other problems. As far as I can tell, the probability that the whole Jenkins build finishes successfully is less than 50%.

That is really not good. Luckily, Djordje now starts working on it.

Is this fixed now? Maybe due to #2984

Is this fixed now?

I am not sure. If I remember correctly, I did not see any similar warnings in the last two days though.
