Resolution

The recommended fix is to upgrade Gerrit Trigger plugin to at least version 2.30.1.
A downgrade to version 2.28.0 will also fix this issue.

The issue is reported for both 2.29.0 and 2.30.0 versions of Gerrit Trigger plugin. The error happens when disabled jobs are configured with dynamic trigger at Jenkins start time.

Explanation

The executors are waiting for the project to be ready, i.e. the dynamic trigger to be loaded. However, the GerritTriggerTimerTask does a couple of checks (including job.isBuildable()) before updateTriggerConfigURL.
This means the latch introduced in pull request #350 is never released and the executors are blocked forever.
