How to get a list of installed Jenkins plugins with name and version pair

Question

How can I get a list of installed Jenkins plugins?

I searched the Jenkins Remote Access API document, but it was not found. Should I use Jenkins\' CLI? Is there a d

Answer 1

From the Jenkins home page:

1. Click Manage Jenkins.
2. Click Manage Plugins.
3. Click on the Installed tab.

Or

1. Go to the Jenkins URL directly: {Your Jenkins base URL}/pluginManager/installed

Answer 2

If you're working in a docker environment and want to output the plugin list in a plugins.txt format in order to pass that to the install_scripts.sh use these scripts in the http://{jenkins}/script console:

1. This version is useful for getting specific package version

Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.each{
  plugin -> 
    println ("${plugin.getShortName()}:${plugin.getVersion()}")
}

2. If you only want the plugin with the latest version you can use this (thanks @KymikoLoco for the tip)

Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.each{
  plugin -> 
    println ("${plugin.getShortName()}:latest")
}

Answer 3

There is a table listing all the plugins installed and whether or not they are enabled at http://jenkins/systemInfo

Answer 4

The Jenkins CLI supports listing all installed plugins:

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ list-plugins

Answer 5

Use Jenkins CLI like this:

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://[jenkins_server] groovy = < pluginEnumerator.groovy

= in the call means 'read from standard input'. pluginEnumerator.groovy contains the following Groovy code:

println "Running plugin enumerator"
println ""
def plugins = jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.getPluginManager().getPlugins()
plugins.each {println "${it.getShortName()} - ${it.getVersion()}"}
println ""
println "Total number of plugins: ${plugins.size()}"

If you would like to play with the code, here's Jenkins Java API documentation.

If Jenkins run in a the Jenkins Docker container you can use this command line in Bash:

java -jar /var/jenkins_home/war/WEB-INF/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ list-plugins --username admin --password `/bin/cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword`
