Plugin Manager - Uninstalling/Disabling plugins that have active dependant plugins ???

[Tom Fennelly]

Hi.

While doing the unbundling and plugin wizard, it became more obvious to me that how the Plugin Manager works is a bit weird. I can go in there and just uninstall or disable any plugin... restart Jenkins and BANG ... NCDF errors etc !!!

So, I did a bit of experimenting and was fairly easily able to get the "Installed" page to only allow the Uninstall or Disable of plugins that do not have any active dependants. The disable part doesn't work fully (should be able to disable plugins after all dependant plugins have been disabled), but there's enough there to get the picture.

Do we think this is something we should fix?

I'm sure there's a long list of possible issues/scenarios with the PM that people could draw up. I'm not proposing to fix them all, but I think if we can fix some of them we are making progress.

Here's a 15s video of how it might work (from the code I linked to above) ... https://youtu.be/EWkrbRjTqSs

+1000 (but I'd also like to see the dependencies listed on the "installed" page - if you don't already - so I know what I need to disable/uninstall to be able to do this one that is blocked)

No I haven't done that yet but will for sure. It needs that.

Shouldn't be a problem. Would you like a trap with it?

Alternatively, just add a real generic index page for plugins. Could look like this (part of a POC that was never finished):

https://github.com/daniel-beck/jenkins/blob/e7b8fd97475ad45ff1100aa83696fcb9a7f0451d/core/src/main/resources/hudson/PluginWrapper/index.jelly

Link there rather than to the wiki from the plugin manager, or in addition to it. This would help reduce the clutter.
