Jenkins

A new Plugin Manager CLI option, chatbot export tests, and credential ID checks

Open source · Contributor · May 2026 — Present

Overview

Three pull requests across Jenkins projects: the Plugin Manager CLI tool, the AI chatbot plugin, and the Credentials plugin. One is merged and two are in review.

Contributions

Add --jenkins-update-center-download-url CLI option (merged May 2026)
tests: add unit tests for exportchat.ts (open, approved)
Reject illegal characters in new credential IDs (open)

Details

The CLI option replaces a setting that only worked as an environment variable, moves that read into the CLI options so the library is config driven, and re-enables a test that had been disabled since Java 17. The chatbot tests take the chat export utilities from zero to 100% coverage, including PDF pagination. The credentials change adds server side ID validation at the two interactive creation endpoints while leaving imports of existing credentials alone.
