Intermittent “SVNException: svn: E175002: Connection reset” when updating workspace from Jenkins via SVN

[Jack Green]

I have Jenkins (2.138.3) running on a Virtual Machine.


On another PC on the same network, I have a Visual SVN Server (3.9.2).


Intermittently (maybe 25% of the time), the checkout fails with the
following error:


ERROR: Failed to check out https://path/to/my/repository

Anecdotally this seems to happen more often if more-than-one project is
building simultaneously.


I am using Subversion 2.12.1 in Jenkins. I have tried updating from an
older version of Jenkins (~6 months old) but still have this problem.


I have also tried enabling spooling but this has not helped.


Users checking out code from the repository have not experienced these
problems, however.


Can anyone advise, please?
