Jenkins - Error fetching remote repo 'origin'

Question

I'm trying to setup the Jenkins Github Pull-Request Builder on a Jenkins node slave, however when I set the refspec to +refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*.

The build fails, saying that I couldn't fetch the repo, When the refspec removed, keeping everything else in place (Github pull request builder ticked and configured, branch specifier is set to ${sha1} defaulted to master using string parameter, the build is fine.

Here is the error trace:

git -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress [email protected]:organization/repository.git
+refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try:

1. clearing out the workspace files of the required job.

2. rebuilding.
