Jenkins Plugin Actions

Ohai,

So, I’m using the shiny new Jenkins cookbook, specifically the jenkins_plugin LWRP. I notice this now has both an install action and an enable action. I have an array of plugins I want to install. I tried:

array_of_plugins.each do |plugin|
jenkins_plugin plugin do
action [:install, :enable]
end
end

This failed, saying that the first plugin wasn’t installed, so couldn’t be enabled. Really? So, I tried:

array_of_plugins.each do |plugin|
jenkins_plugin plugin do
action [:install]
end

jenkins_plugin plugin do
action [:enable]
end
end

This also failed, in a similar fashion. So it’s come to this?

array_of_plugins.each do |plugin|
jenkins_plugin plugin do
action [:install]
end
end

array_of_plugins.each do |plugin|
jenkins_plugin plugin do
action [:enable]
end
end

This works! But I see a rash of CHEF-3694 cloning warnings.

What the actual fsck?

What am I missing?

?Not sure if this is the case for you or not, but I recently worked with this cookbook/LWRP and noticed I had to be careful with my plugin dependencies. A plugin will not install on Jenkins unless it’s dependent plugins are first installed. So, the ordering of your array is very important here.?

Yeah that's absolutely the case, but not the issue here. The first plugin
on the array, which displayed the issue described, is 'rebuild', which has
no dependencies.

Stephen,
An install action should be all you need. The Jenkins system log at
$JENKINS_URL/log/all might give a clue also.

Please open a GithHub issue and Chef's Release Engineering team
(maintainers of that cookbook) will take a look.
