I faced the same problem when I tried to run a job that should execute a shell command locally.

[jippi]

This is for a remote execution, and it happens "a lot" (every ~500 execution) on some jobs

[rossitsaborissova]

Here are two screenshots that display my configuration and the output.

I'm getting this error more or less constantly now for both remote and local jobs, it's turning Rundeck into an unusable state for me ever so slowly.

I haven't changed anything in that stack for weeks or months, other than updating to latest deb version, and the frequency of the error happening is just getting worse

How is your resource model defined? a static file, or using another source?

[gschueler]

can you try running the job with Debug logging turned on and pasting the output?

[gschueler]

i was able to reproduce it by duplicating your job @rossitsaborissova and using a node filter that doesn't match any nodes.

Confirmed

[jippi]

That explains why I stopped seeing the error when I switched from mcollective node provider to a straight up yaml provider backed by Consul

Thank you!

Probably one of the parameters you are passing through rundeck.xml is empty?
