Oleg, Could you please help me a bit here, Looked a lot for but I am just getting theory or some random example in local caching, Did you mean to use instance of CacheManager Class and call its addCache method to store the userAgentInformation?

Hi Oleg, @hp77-creator
Continuing the discussion here,
I read an answer here Although question is exact opposite of what your vision(vision is to replace all UncheckedIOException or other runtime exceptions to checked exceptions) for future project is. I was wondering is it possible for us to recover from the checkedExceptions?
And for the issue that I am trying to solve what's the recovery do you suggest, I mean some idea, Is there any example of code in the codebase where CheckedException is shown. I saw different exception classes written for the plugin-manager but they all extended RunTimeException, so I am not really sure how to do a CheckedException?

I am referring to jenkinsci/plugin-installation-manager-tool#314 and the comment on changing the UncheckedExceptionIO to properly propagate the checkedException. link to the comment.

where is the jenkins-plugin-cli located by default? i see it referenced in a lot of the git repo's for plugins, but i am not sure what program natively lives when you install jenkins to be able to run it!

commands like: jenkins-plugin-cli --plugins azure-vm-agents:779.v5ea1414ec40f

@timja

Thats just a shell script in the jenkins docker image running https://github.com/jenkinsci/plugin-installation-manager-tool

Hi there, noob here, think I'm caught on a probably dumb thing.

I'm trying to get a list of plugins out of my existing Jenkins instance, so that I can set up a preprod environment to test Jenkins updates and such with out plugins

So far I'm not having much luck.. I'm hoping that whatever I've not done is really obvious.. I didn't think it was worth creating a Github issue for

Tim Jacomb

@timja

@ncook-hxgn you can get the plugins with this script: https://www.jenkins.io/participate/report-issue/#Howtoreportanissue-WhatinformationtoprovideforEnvironmentandDescription

ncook-hxgn

@ncook-hxgn

@timja I will give it a go, thank you kindly :)

@timja works like a charm, son! Thanks again :) Pre-prod here we go! :D

Should the plugin-install-manager have a command line parameter to list all the plugins installed in a Jenkins controller? This output can be used to with the this tool can be used to rapidly install multiple and identical Jenkins controllers.

@timja you closed jenkinsci/plugin-installation-manager-tool#10 but there is this jenkinsci/plugin-installation-manager-tool#263 which we have to solve right? Should I create a new PR for jenkinsci/plugin-installation-manager-tool#263 ?

Hi @oleg-nenashevm,
Thanks for assigning you and @timja as reviewers. I intended to do the same. Maybe I do not have the aurthority to do the same, since I did not find any obvious way to assign when I was creating the JIRA issue.

4 replies

@oleg-nenashev and @timja do you think it is a good idea to name the binary jenkins-plugin-manager and the script jenkins-plugin-manager-script. This will help the user to identify easily as jenkins tools in their custom "scripts". Rename the tool to Plugin Manager (Tool) in the documentation, since, the tool does a lot more than just installing the plugin.

Tim Jacomb

@timja

scripts do not have a suffix of -script

so no -1

Oleg Nenashev

@oleg-nenashev

@yr-sudhakar Hi, thanks for working on that! I agree with @timja

@yr-sudhakar

@MarkEWaite As part of the tool user guide review, you indicated that the plugin manager tool does not function as expected in some cases. If you can be specific, I can see if it impacts the content of the document.

@MarkEWaite When I am documenting the tool, I am not making an effort to take about plugin management per se, The document´s focus is to document the functionality of the tool from a user perspective.

Hi, I've set the following environment variables:

- name: JENKINS_UC
  value: "http://updates.jenkins.io"
- name: JENKINS_UC_EXPERIMENTAL
  value: "http://updates.jenkins.io/experimental"
- name: JENKINS_INCREMENTALS_REPO_MIRROR
  value: "http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/incrementals"
- name: JENKINS_PLUGIN_INFO
  value: "http://updates.jenkins.io/plugin-versions.json"

Yet still (according to the log), it is trying to download plugins from https://get.jenkins.io:
"Tried downloading <plugin> from https://get.jenkins.io/plugins/<plugin>"

Any ideas?

Tim Jacomb

@timja

you need to override JENKINS_UC_DOWNLOAD if you want to change the download url, the update center includes download links which will be pointing to get.jenkins.io

what are you trying to achieve though? you have some weird proxy that doesn't work with ssl?

holmesb

@holmesb

done, still "Tried downloading <plugin> from https://get.jenkins.io/plugins/" with:

- name: JENKINS_UC_DOWNLOAD
  value: "http://updates.jenkins.io/download"

Yes I'm behind proxy that does a man-in-the-middle attack. Easiest way around is to use http endpoints instead of https

Proper solution would be to add the company CA certificate to trusted store. Perhaps I should try that instead. "Easy" option isn't turning out to be very easy

:-)

"add the company CA certificate to trusted store" - hopefully the helm chart I'm using allows this...

Tim Jacomb

@timja

yes that's what I would suggest doing instead, you can just build a custom docker image is the easiest solution which includes your company cert

Question about the plugin manager. When I run this command on a fresh Jenkins install, I see plugins being downloaded, but after I see no plugins installed in the UI

        java -jar /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins-plugin-manager.jar \
          --plugin-file /usr/share/jenkins/plugins.txt

Graeme Wilson

@techlunacy

@neilhwatson you need to restart jenkins after the installation. maybe you could get away with a reload? or are you running before it starts?
