It's not possible to disable/uninstall optional dependencies

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • 2.181

    Description

      The plugin manager UI does not allow disabling or removing optional dependencies, i.e. dependencies that are declared by plugins to be not strictly necessary for their use.

      This should be possible, maybe with a warning that not all features of the depending plugin will be available afterwards.

            medianick Thanks. Looks like I typoed the versions regex, fixed in https://github.com/jenkins-infra/update-center2/pull/273

            I am postponing backport of this fix to give it some more soaking time.

            In case it's helpful to anyone else (as I've just gone through this to uninstall Mask Passwords due to SECURITY-157), jglick's workaround disables the optional dependency in question (mask-passwords.jpi in my case), after which point the Uninstall button in the Manage Plugins page will enable, and the plugin can be uninstalled as desired.

            This change seems to allow now to also uninstall/disable implied plugins. So release 2.176.2 introduced with JENKINS-57528 the change that all implied plugins are also installed, and now I can uninstall them again manually?

            Or disable them, yes. Really it might be better for Docker image users to have an alternate distribution of jenkins.war without any detached plugins.
