After upgrading from Jenkins 2.384 to 2.426 I get "JSONObject["scm"] is not a JSONObject." when saving unchanged jobs

Question

After upgrading from Jenkins 2.384 to 2.426 I get "JSONObject["scm"] is not a JSONObject."

I checked "Jenkins freestyle job configuration error: JSONObject["hudson-triggers-SCMTrigger"] is not a JSONObject"-

In the article it is suggested to disable TFS and/or github-plugin. But searching for TFS Team Foundation Server) Plug-in did not see that it is installed.

In many of my jobs i can remove the SCM-control but still thera are a few jobs left where it Used when a git repo is updated.

So where do I continue?

Answer 1

As described in the bug on the issue tracker, the problem seems to be related to the build timeout plugin. After we updated the plugin to its latest version (1.31) everything seems to be working.

Answer 2

Edit: As mentioned by Bruno Bossola, updating the Build Timeout Plugin to the newest version solved the issue for us.

The only fast solution we could come up with was to downgrade back to version 2.409 which fixed the problem for us.

We had the Problem with our Jenkins Server after upgrading from Version 2.409 to 2.428

There is a recently posted Issue for this: https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-72202

This only occured while trying to create or copy Maven-Jobs. We also updated a bunch of Jenkins Plugins including GitLab Plugin, but the problem was still present.
