Hi I am working on a MAC book. When I start the android emulator through Jenkins 80% of the time the emulator fails to boot. Without Jenkins it works.

I am using android emulator plugin. The funny thing is when I am using the command line as jenkins user it works as well. Any Ideas?
Ok it seems like the issue has something to do with the jenkins android plugin. (https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11952) . I updated Jenkins Android Plugin to 2.13-SNAPSHOT and it works now. You can find the update here: https://jenkins.ci.cloudbees.com/job/plugins/job/android-emulator-plugin/lastStableBuild/org.jenkins-ci.plugins$android-emulator/ .
However this didn't fix the Error message in the log. But it works.
