How to downgrade a Jenkins plugin

Plugin versions are managed from within cnp-jenkins-docker.

Renovate checks plugin versions and automatically upgrades them each morning

If an issue has arisen with a new version of a plugin and it needs to be downgraded:

• Downgrade it in the image

• Deploy the new image on CFT and on SDS

• Jenkins may run into issues when downgrading plugins, if this is the case:

Wipe the plugins folder bash kubectl exec -it jenkins-0 -c jenkins -- rm -rf /var/jenkins_home/plugins/ Then restart Jenkins bash kubectl delete pod jenkins-0

• Make the maintainers of the plugin aware of the issue
• Temporarily freeze renovate for that particular plugin (add to ignoreDeps)
