7 years ago i figured out a solution. it has to do with the downloaded jenkins-cli.jar appears to be incompatible with the version of jenkins installed on the instance. Therefore, the best thing to do is copy the already installed jenkins-cli.jar to the same directory as what would have been downloaded
in cli.yml,
change this
- name: Get Jenkins CLI get_url: url: "{{ jenkins_api_url }}jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar" dest: "{{ jenkins_cli_dest }}" mode: 0440 register: jenkins_local_cli until: "'OK' in jenkins_local_cli.msg or 'file already exists' in jenkins_local_cli.msg" retries: 5 delay: 10
to
- name: Get Jenkins CLI command: "cp /var/cache/jenkins/war/WEB-INF/jenkins-cli.jar {{ jenkins_cli_dest }}" become: yes
when trying to run the jenkins cli in plugins.yml, i get an error about authentication ERROR: You must authenticate to access this Jenkins. Use --username/--password/--password-file parameters or login command.
i have tried using admin with locally stored admin password to no avail. how did you work around this or fix?
