I am attempting to integrate the JIRA plugin with Jenkins CI, but an error appears stating, “This URL is valid but does not resemble a standard JIRA address.” I am using our company’s dedicated JIRA installation (note: no direct link provided) which has worked flawlessly with other projects. Could there be a configuration setting in our JIRA system that needs to be enabled to allow this integration to work correctly?
In my previous experience integrating JIRA with Jenkins CI, this type of error was often linked to URL formatting and the specific expectations of the plugin. I discovered that verifying the base URL configuration in both systems was essential; sometimes even a minor discrepancy like an extra trailing slash or missing protocol could be the culprit. After reviewing the plugin documentation alongside our JIRA setup, I adjusted the URL settings accordingly. It was also helpful to consult our network team since proxies or firewall rules occasionally modify URL patterns, which could also trigger the error.
The error seems to be related to an expectation in URL formatting that might not match your dedicated setup. From my experience in environments with custom JIRA installations, it is crucial to ensure that both systems are truly aligned regarding expected URL patterns, even if the URL works properly on its own. In one instance I discovered that enabling URL rewriting on our network gateway device resolved a similar issue. Confirm that your version of the JIRA plugin aligns with your JIRA version, as compatibility issues can also result in confusing error messages.
try using a fully qualified domain name and check your reverse proxy config. i had issues with misaligned context paths, and cleaning that up fixed the error for me. hope this helps, cheers!
In my experience, encountering URL errors during integration of JIRA with Jenkins CI is often a matter of ensuring consistency in how the URL is defined across systems. I had a similar issue where the dedicated JIRA installation worked without a hitch for other projects, yet this integration failed due to subtle differences in URL configuration. I found that verifying that the protocol and the domain name, including any potential subpath, are exactly the same in both Jenkins and JIRA helped resolve the issue. Also, checking for any recent updates or known issues with either integration plugin provided additional insights and helped pinpoint the problem.
