[chef] RE: Jenkins Plugin Actions

["Stewart, Curtis" < >]

​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.​

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?

S.
