Jenkins + GitHub Plugins webhooks not working

Question

I'm using latest (v1.10) Jenkins GitHub plugin, Jenkins v1.1 My webhook integration fails with the error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Github Webhook event of type ping is not supported. Only push events are current supported

Looks like GitHub is using some kind of 'ping' events, that are not supported. Or there is some configuration missing?

Answer 1

You should not use a raw webhook but instead choose "Jenkins (Github plugin)" from the Add Service menu.
