How to upgrade Matrix (matrix-auth) and it s dependency plugin in pom.xml without changing the parent Jenkins version?

[Vinodhini Vijay]

Hello All,

We are using Jenkins 1.580.3 LTS version for our plugin development. While starting Jenkins via mvn hpi:run, we are getting the below error:

Jun 10, 2015 4:30:11 PM jenkins.InitReactorRunner$1 onAttained

This error message doesn't occur from 1.596.1 LTS version.

If we don't want to upgrade to Jenkins LTS 1.596.1, Could we upgrade the matrix-auth plugin & dependencies alone in my pom.xml without any issues?

As we couldn't find matrix-auth and dependencies in Effective pom.xml and pom.xml, May I know how to upgrade Matrix (matrix-auth) and it's dependency plugin in pom.xml without changing the parent Jenkins version?

Thanks!

Is your plugin depending on any of the plugins mentioned in the error messages, and if so, which versions?

Hello Mr.Beck,

Our plugin doesn't depend on any of the plugins (matrix-auth,windows-slaves,antisamy-markup-formatter,matrix-project,script-security).

Our concern is that if we use this LTS version: 1.580.1/2/3 for our plugin development,and also in testservers, we might not be able to use some good features of Jenkins like Matrix Project, etc.. as it might be disabled.

Any advice (or corrections in our understanding ) would be really helpful to us.

Thanks!

The Jenkins version you're building against determines the Jenkins feature set available to your plugin and is the minimum version required to use the plugin. Users are always free to use a newer version of Jenkins than you were building against.

That said, I cannot reproduce the problem. A new plugin with 1.580.3 parent builds and runs just fine. Make sure you don't have incompatible versions of these plugins manually installed in your work directory.

To be sure:

rm -rf target work

Possibly you installed matrix-project 1.4.1 in a previous session and
forgot about it. 1.580.3 cannot handle this update.

Hello All,

Thank you very much!!

After removing the target and work directories and re-runing Jenkins, the error doesn't appear.

Thank you again!!
