I am trying to trigger jenkins build whenever there is a push to GitLab.
I am referring to https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin.
When I test the connection for webhook it shows execution expired.
I am using:
It means issues in between jenkins server and gitlab or github server.
Like what I did:
I have set my local-IP:port/project/jenkins_project_name
http://192.168.1.21:8080/project/jenkins_project_name
and set the above URL in the gitlab webhook, it shouldn't work - right?
Because it's an IP that's private and not routable.
SO later I realized and set the public-IP and then hook worked.
http://public_IP:8080/project/jenkins_project_name
Note: To routable public-IP, you should expose port in your router [e.g. 8080 was for me or anything want ]
Hope this works.
I have faced the same issue. In my case Jenkins is running in an AWS EC2 instance. I have resolved the issue by whitelisting the Public IP addresses of Gitlab on port 443 into the instance security group.
