Anything else?

I writing bash script to updates Jenkins plugins.

# Get the list of installed plugins and save it to plugins.txt
java -jar jenkins-plugin-manager-*.jar --war /usr/share/java/jenkins.war --plugin-download-directory /var/lib/jenkins/plugins --list \
| tail -n +2 | grep -E '^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+ [0-9a-zA-Z.-]+|^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+-[0-9a-zA-Z.-]+$'| awk '{print $1 ":" $2}' > "$PLUGIN_FILE"

# Get available updates and save them to available_updates.txt
java -jar jenkins-plugin-manager-*.jar --war /usr/share/java/jenkins.war --plugin-download-directory /var/lib/jenkins/plugins --plugin-file /var/lib/jenkins/plugins.txt --available-updates --output txt > "$UPDATE_FILE"

# Update plugins
echo "Updating Jenkins plugins..."
java -jar jenkins-plugin-manager-*.jar  --war /usr/share/java/jenkins.war --plugin-download-directory /var/lib/jenkins/plugins --plugin-file /var/lib/jenkins/update_plugins.txt --verbose

I put plugins list with new version in file

update_plugins.txt

JDK_Parameter_Plugin:1.2
Parameterized-Remote-Trigger:3.2.0
active-directory:2.37
android-emulator:592.vb_b_6d427f1923
ansicolor:1.0.5
ant:511.v0a_a_1a_334f41b_

Example installed active-directory:2.36 available new active-directory:2.37

Could you assist, what do I wrong?

Are you interested in contributing a fix?

I use a different technique to generate the updated list of plugins. You might try it instead:

Generate the new plugins.txt file with this command:

java -jar jenkins-plugin-manager.jar --jenkins-version 2.462.3 -d ref/plugins -f plugins.txt --no-download --available-updates -o txt > x && mv x plugins.txt

Download the files defined in that plugins.txt file with this command:

java -jar jenkins-plugin-manager.jar --jenkins-version 2.462.3 -d ref/plugins -f plugins.txt

[ma3s7ro]

The same issue. I have done like you generating file.

java -jar jenkins-plugin-manager-2.13.2.jar --jenkins-version 2.462.3 -d /var/lib/jenkins/plugins -f /var/lib/jenkins/update_plugins.txt --verbose

When I run your list of plugins with an empty plugins destination directory, it downloads active directory 2.37.

It's good that it works with a clean installation of plugins, but the functionality of the application implies updating already installed plugins.
From my experience, to update Jenkins, it is better to update plugins first. It would be great if it could be automated using this application.
