I moved my Jenkins home directory from C: to D:. I updated this change for JENKINS_HOME in jenkins.xml as advised by jenkinsurl:port/configure.
Then I restarted Jenkins with java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s URL -auth : restart
Once restarted, Jenkins correctly reflected the new home directory to be the D: drive and I ran a test which worked. Proving the home directory was successfully changed.
However, one of my tests broke. Seems to be an error with repo connection. Was this correlated to updating my home directory?
