This error only occurs when jenkins does not have permission as a sudo user on the linux machine.

This works completely fine on windows but in linux you need to provide sudo permissions.

To get over the error follow these steps:

Step 1: open terminal

Step 2: $sudo nano /etc/sudousers

Step 3: at the end of the file add

Jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Save and exit

Step 4: on your jenkins page, go to your job->configure->build triggers->build periodically and add sudo in front of your compile statement

It’ll look like this

Cd /file_path/

Sudo javac filename.java

Java filename

how can i save and exit

Hi,

It depends on your editor. If you are using Gedit, then click on save. If you are using vi editor, then use it accordingly. It is like how you save your file in your system.

Hey @Hannah, running bash command.sh worked for me, you can try it too. But I feel @Kalgi's answer seems more explanatory and even that works perfectly fine, i would suggest using that solution.

How did running bash command.sh work? What exactly did you do?

Hey @Hannah, try changing the permissions using chmod, for me it gave this error because it didn't have the required permissions.
