Jenkins - Not Showing Build History

Question

I have a multi-module maven project that I'm building with Jenkins called MyApp. I also have another maven project that depends on MyApp, and this project runs integration tests on MyApp.

In Jenkins, when I view the status of the MyApp project it successfully displays a list of previously run builds and I can click on them to find out more information (and view the console output).

However, the integration test project, while it does build properly, it only displays previously run builds for about 5 minutes, at which point something happens and jenkins completely forgets the build ever ran.

On the filesystem, I am able to cd to:

/usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/jobs/My App Integration Test/builds

and ls reveals

me@myserver:/usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/jobs/My App Integration Test/builds$ ls

1  2  2013-01-24_16-46-59  2013-01-24_16-51-58  2013-01-24_18-05-09  2013-01-24_18-58-46  3  4

that all my previously run builds are right there, where they should be.

Jenkins has a "discard old builds" feature in its project configuration page, but I obviously have it unchecked.

I'm running jenkins in tomcat6 on Ubuntu.

Help please?

Jenkins has resolved this issue as of 1.505 I recommend everyone upgrade who does not wish to switch from Jenkins back to Hudson.

This can be done through the GUI via Manage Jenkins->Upgrade to Latest (Note for this to work you need to have the appropriate permissions for Jenkins)

More information can be found here For linux users aptitude update or yum update jenkins should also work for you.
