How can I install a specific version of a plugin using pluginManager?

[Guy Matz]

I can do this sort of thing (improvements are welcome!):

plugin = 'github'

instance = Jenkins.getInstance()

pm = instance.getPluginManager()

uc = instance.getUpdateCenter()

plugin = uc.getPlugin(plugin_name)

plugin.deploy()

But would like to be able to specify the version of plugin, e.g. github:1.29.0

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Guy

P.S. - SHould I have sent this to the jenkins-users mailing list?

Not possible as the JSON metadata only contains the latest version (that's compatible with your Jenkins).

You can upload a specific plugin file though.

Only if you knew what the answer would be :-) Internal API questions like in your email could reasonably go either way, but in this case the answer is the same whether Jenkins CLI, UI, or internal APIs.
