Hi All,

I need to cancel plugin update. I've installed git-plugin and it have updated my promoted-build-plugin. The promotion plugin have already been installed so now in Update Center I have:
promoted builds plugin promoted-builds plugin is already installed. Jenkins needs to be restarted for the update to take effect

I don't want this new version since configs are not compatible with one I have. How to  cancel this installation.

Br,
Pawel

Hi,

As long as you don't restart your Jenkins service you won't use that version of promoted build plugins afaik. 

You might need to somehow, before restarting your service:
- remove that hpi file and download the previous version manually (http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/promoted-builds/)
- then you will be able to restart your service

BTW, Jenkins shouldn't override your config files automatically, you are safe as long as you don't apply them via the WebUI.

Maybe someone else has already got another workaround

Cheers

Hello,

You can easily downgrade/uninstall updated Plugins from Jenkins GUI Plugins Manger window

you can navigate like this

Jenkins main page-->Manage Jenkins-->Manage Plugins-->Plugin Manager-->Installed Tab

Shut down Jenkins.

Open $JENKINS_HOME/plugins.

Delete promoted-builds.hpi and rename promoted-builds.bak to promoted-builds.hpi.

Start Jenkins.
