Jobs not subscribing after unsubscribing from time to time

[ukulekek]

Hello, our Jenkins jobs are being unsubscribed without subscribing back from time to time. I have found two different reasons for not subscribing back in logs. We are using the latest 1.1.24 version of the plugin.

1:

2021-11-04 18:12:26.639+0000 [id=1256]  INFO    c.r.j.p.c.m.ActiveMqMessagingWorker#unsubscribe: Unsubscribing job 'ci-brew-docker-dispatcher' from the 'Consumer.rh-jenkins-ci-plugin.60aa7a6
b-df3b-5d9b-b08d-198beeb4db36.VirtualTopic.eng.brew.build.complete.>' topic.

No messages from the job appeared after that. We resolved it by disabling and enabling the job back.

Again, no messages appeared after that. With this one, even if it looks that unsubscribing was skipped, however, it wasn't as the job hasn't been triggered after that. In this case, disable/enable didn't work, there was no trigger thread running. Only Jenkins restart did help.

• What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

RHEL-7.7

Reproduction steps

I'm unable to reproduce the issue on purpose.

Results

Expected result:

The job is subscribed back.

Actual result:

The job keeps being unsubscribed.

@ukulekek, thanks for the report. Please attach full (or at least relevant part of the) StackOverflowError stacktrace - we need to know how did it manage to get into that infinite recursion.

[ukulekek]

@olivergondza the full StackOverflowError consists of the same two lines repeating 1024 times, starting and ending with:

Unfortunately, that does not help us much in finding out the cause of it. No idea why is the stacktrace shortened.

However, I found https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-65590 describing the same symptoms addressed by update in the API they use. It is something we eventually must do here as well, so it might be worth prioritizing it.

Filing API update: #228

It is strange we did not see this on 2.289.2 or 3.303.3. Is there any particular way to reproduce this?
