Hi

 

I am running Jenkins 1.447.1 LTS.  This morning I decided to update the svn plugin from 1.34 to 1.39. I selected the svn plugin update, the download succeeded and I restarted Jenkins.

 

Now, the plugins updates table is still showing 1.39 available and 1.34 installed. The ‘Installed’ table shows 1.34 installed and a button marked ‘Downgrade to 1.34’ is shown.

 

Please can anyone explain why 1.39 is not shown as installed, and why Jenkins offers to downgrade to the same version that it thinks is installed?

 

Best regards

 

David

I'm experiencing this too. I even shut down Jenkins, downloaded the
1.39 update manually, deleted all subversion plugin files and folders
and placed the new one in and its still reporting as 1.34. Perhaps the
metadata for 1.39 is incorrect?

Coincidentally, I recently built 1.39 (from https://svn.jenkins-ci.org/tags/subversion-1.39/),
so I installed this instead manually and the problem was resolved. So
it seems there is something kooky about the released plugin at
http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/subversion/1.39/subversion.hpi.
By the way, I'm running 1.448

Update it manually.
create a file named subversion.jpi.disabled and subversion.jpi.pinned
Download the recent svn plugin and give it a different file name. I use subversion-1.39.hpi as name. restart the server.
Jenkins or the plugins (dunno which causes this) has sometimes the annoying habit to show you the plugin with the lowest version number.
I assume that the plugin with the lower version then also is used.

Take care
Jan
