How to identify the compatibility plugins?

[YanJun Shi]

Hi, everybody

    

      When I use Jenkins, I find that the effect of selecting 'all' and 'compatibility' in 'plugins manager' is the same, I want to know how to distinguish between compatible plugins.

In most cases this expected. Only for very ancient, unmaintained plugins  or if using a rather old jenkins you may find a incompatibility.

Case 1: plugin depends on an now removed other plugin

Case 2: the plugin requires a newer jenkins core than you are using

So if you keep everythign up-to-date, almost any current plugin should be compatible.

But I see the function name is ` checkPluginsWithoutWarnings  ` for compatible.

You should check https://jenkins.io/blog/2019/05/30/becoming-contributor-newbie-tickets/ and https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/3985:

return isCompatibleWithInstalledVersion() && !isForNewerHudson() && !isForNewerJava() &&

isNeededDependenciesCompatibleWithInstalledVersion(cache) &&

!isNeededDependenciesForNewerJenkins(cache) && !isNeededDependenciesForNewerJava();

is the main code used.

Thanks, Björn.

I think I understand why. I've found this code before, but I'm not sure if there are any bugs, so I want to know more clearly.
