For last 2 weeks, been trying to get attention on bug with CloudBees AWS credentials plugin 1.33.   The external ID feature causes failures for anything using an AWS role without an external ID.

I can't seem to get a response on this problem (looks like others have issues too).  Is there a process besides opening a ticket and waiting?

Issue on Jenkins JIRA:

Issue on GitHub:

Thanks for any advice.

Hi, 
Thanks for the notice. Reporting the bug in Jira is the right way indeed.
I know nothing about this plugin myself, but looking around in the last changes, it looks like https://github.com/jenkinsci/aws-credentials-plugin/pull/88/files#r772008354 could be a good lead.

I would recommend creating a PR with something around this. The build will then automatically create an "incremental" and allow you to test this to help fix it. Doing it would be invaluable to at least identify the exact cause for your issue.

If you do not know how to do it, I might give it a look later this week or next one, but no guarantee.

Cheers

Frankly I don’t have any experience doing this… so any help would be appreciated.  Thanks for the reply!

Appears that no one at CloudBees has looked at the issue with the AWS Credentials plugin.  The issue is over a month old.  Is there a contact at CloudBees I could ping to find out options?   Thanks.

Hi,

While our teams are aware of this issue and we should look into it soon enough, I can't commit to any precise date. In particular in this case because the workaround is easy: going back to 1.32 AFAIU.
Many other more pressing priorities are higher than this (e.g. making sure the hundreds of plugins, many OSS, that CloudBees verifies are ready for the next LTS).

I would say there are 3 options:
  • Wait until somebody picks it up.
  • File the fix yourself (or someone in your company, or paying someone to do it), then we can probably try and fast track the merge & release for it.
  • for CloudBees customers only: use ZenDesk to discuss further options. 
Hope this helps clarify.

I do understand that CloudBees is probably quite busy... but you have to note this issue has been open on both GitHub and the Jenkins JIRA for over a month without anyone acknowledging it or taking ownership.   I understand the correct action for subscribers is mostly "just don't upgrade,"  but it would be nice if the tickets could be acknowledged.

If the PR builds then you can try the resulting binary.  Download from the links to Jenkins the PR
https://github.com/jenkinsci/aws-credentials-plugin/pull/125

I say if, because I wrote the patch on a mobile phone....
