[JENKINS-72622] EC2 plugin cannot add a new cloud #16344
Description
- I created an EC2 instance and subsequently generated an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from this instance.
- I added the EC2 plugin to Jenkins to use this AMI. In the "New Cloud" section, I filled in the following fields:
-
- Name
- Amazon EC2 credentials
- Region
- EC2 Key Pair's Private Key
Upon testing the connection, I received a success response. I then proceeded to the "Add AMI" section.
- In the "Add AMI" section, I filled in the following fields:
-
- Description
- AMI ID
- Instance Type (T2XLarge)
- Security group names
- Remote FS root
- Remote user
- AMI Type
- Labels
I selected "Usage = Only build jobs with label expressions matching this node," and filled in Subnet IDs for VPC and Tags. I also checked "Associate Public IP" and chose "Private IP" as the Connection Strategy.
- When I clicked the "Save" button, I encountered an error message on my screen: "A problem occurred." Upon reviewing the system logs, I identified the error as follows:
-
- java.lang.NullPointerException at jenkins.agents.CloudSet.doDoCreate
- I am using the following versions:
-
- Jenkins: 2.414.1
- Amazon EC2 plugin: Version1648.vf3d852e00486
- Amazon Web Services SDK :: EC2: Version1.12.633-430.vf9a_e567a_244f
- Amazon Web Services SDK :: Minimal: Version1.12.633-430.vf9a_e567a_244f
- Pipeline: Step API: Version639.v6eca_cd8c04a_a_
- Apache HttpComponents Client 4.x API: Version4.5.14-208.v438351942757
- AWS Credentials: Version218.v1b_e9466ec5da_
- Bouncycastle API: Version2.29
