Jenkins sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified with NOPASSWD

Question

I spend several days setting up the file /etc/sudoers to be able to give permissions to root to the user jenkins. I have Jenkins installed on my server

Answer 1

This is just a response to elaborate on the steps to take to fix the issue.

First thing, figure out which user Jenkins GUI is using to execute the bash shell script.

select the project > Configure > enter whoami in the executable shell > save and Build Now. View result in build history > click console output

User may be tomcat or jenkins or whatever.

SSH into Jenkins server

1. sudo su
2. visudo
3. tomcat ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL #if user displayed is tomcat
