Bug Description

Reporting this bug on Ubuntu 11.10
Installed package version: Installed: 1.409.1-0ubuntu4

The script by James in /usr/bin/jenkins-monitor-job wraps a call to java -jar ${JENKINS_LIB}/jenkins-core.jar $@

However, since $@ is not quoted, jenkins-monitor-job fails when the project name contains a space. For instance

jenkins-monitor-job "this_works" ls # this works
jenkins-monitor-job "this does not work" ls # returns an error about the project 'this' not existing

The solution is to wrap the $@ arguments between quotes in /usr/bin/jenkins-monitor-job:

30c30
< java -jar ${JENKINS_LIB}/jenkins-core.jar $@
---
> java -jar ${JENKINS_LIB}/jenkins-core.jar "$@"

This has been working fine on my side and should be corrected in the jenkins package.

Cheers,

Gaspard

Hi Gaspard

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

I'll update the jenkins package in the current development release; if this bug is an issue for a larger number of people then we can look at applying an SRU to 11.10 to resolve this issue.

Cheers

James
