Issue
When launching a Windows shared agent we get “Unable to launch the application” with a java.lang.NullPointerException
Environment
- CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise
- Windows 2012
Resolution
In one customers case their agent names had spaces (e.g. “EXAMPLE AGENT NAME”)
http://jenkins\_url/computer/EXAMPLE%20AGENT%20NAME/slave-agent.jnlp
The %20
sequence used to URL-encode space can confuse Windows javaws, as the %
character is used on Windows for environment variable.
Removing spaces from the name resolves this issue.
