I setup my Jenkins build per the documentation to send build information to Octopus but I’m getting the following error. I don’t see any mention of this file in the documentation. I’m running v2019.6.3 on my server.
Build information file ‘octopus.buildinfo’ does not exist
There is nowhere in Jenkins to define the --file parameter and it’s being auto-generated.

The buildinfo file is actually created automatically as part of that Jenkins push build info step.
If you turn on verbose logging for that step and take a look in the build output, you should see the json it creates. Can you turn on verbose logging and paste that section of the output for me? Which version of the jenkins Octopus plugin are you running?
Hi Jeremy, this is the verbose output. It spits out Detected Octopus server version doesn't support the Build Information API. but yet succeeds. (exit code 0)
I guess this means we need to upgrade our server to latest?

Yeah, that’s correct. We changed the build information stuff back in 2019. If you do upgrade, we highly suggest going as current as possible. It’s worth mentioning anything 2020.X requires either SQL 2017 or SQL 2016 (depending on the version you choose.)
Please let me know if you have any issues after upgrading.
