-------------------------------------
Summary: Automatic tool installer: Install from mongodb.org option
doesn't include a label field
Key: JENKINS-13110
URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13110
Project: Jenkins
Issue Type: Bug
Components: plugin
Environment: Jenkins version 1.455
Reporter: Sean Reilly
Priority: Minor
I first noticed this with the MongoDB plugin (v 1.1), but then realised that
this occurs with all automatic tool installers that I can find.
When choosing an automatic tool installer of type "Extract *.zip/*.tar.gz", or
"Run Command", the UI provides a "label" field, which can be used to configure
which kinds of nodes use a specific installer. When I have slaves on many
platforms, this allows me to install (for example) the mongodb-linux-x86_64
build on a linux slave, and a mongo osx build on an osx slave.
The "Install from mongodb.org" option doesn't include a label field, even
though I can configure multiple installers for different platforms. The first
installer is always used no matter what.
Update: while writing this bug report, I realised that this behaviour seems to
be present for all "Install from XXXX" options, across many plugins.
This behaviour is fine for a platform independent tool like ant, but doesn't
work well for native code (such as mongodb).
*Workaround*
Create two "Extract *.zip/*.tar.gz" installers with appropriate labels and
download locations such as
"http://downloads.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.3.tgz"; to
accomplish the same thing. Note that this won't work for more complicated
automated tool installers like the one that installs java from java.sun.com.
