title: Jenkins - Not Showing Build History
body: <p>I have a multi-module maven project that I'm building with Jenkins called MyApp. I also have another maven project that depends on MyApp, and this project runs integration tests on MyApp.</p>
  
  <p>In Jenkins, when I view the status of the MyApp project it successfully displays a list of previously run builds and I can click on them to find out more information (and view the console output).</p>
  
  <p>However, the integration test project, while it does build properly, it only displays previously run builds for about 5 minutes, at which point something happens and jenkins completely forgets the build ever ran.</p>
  
  <p>On the filesystem, I am able to cd to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/jobs/My App Integration Test/builds
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and ls reveals</p>
  
  <pre><code>me@myserver:/usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/jobs/My App Integration Test/builds$ ls
  
  1  2  2013-01-24_16-46-59  2013-01-24_16-51-58  2013-01-24_18-05-09  2013-01-24_18-58-46  3  4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>that all my previously run builds are right there, where they should be.</p>
  
  <p>Jenkins has a "discard old builds" feature in its project configuration page, but I obviously have it unchecked.</p>
  
  <p>I'm running jenkins in tomcat6 on Ubuntu.</p>
  
  <p>Help please?</p>
