I'm not sure how this ever worked, but the issue is that the code expects that Jenkins will return a string like "Result: <bool>" where the boolean is the result of the call to check whether a restart is needed. However, the Groovy script run for this neither gathers the result or prints it in the format expected. I guess maybe old versions of Jenkins took a boolean result of the script itself and printed "Result: <script result>".
The following patch seems to work for me: --- __init__.py.orig 2019-04-04 10:13:50.728569000 -0500 +++ __init__.py 2019-04-10 17:12:28.505247839 -0500 @@ -1347,8 +1347,9 @@ # run_script is an async call to run groovy. we need to wait a little # before we can get a reliable response on whether a restart is needed time.sleep(2) - is_restart_required = ('Jenkins.instance.updateCenter' - '.isRestartRequiredForCompletion()') + is_restart_required = ('boolean reboot = Jenkins.instance.updateCenter' + '.isRestartRequiredForCompletion();' + 'println "Result: ${reboot}"') # response is a string (i.e. u'Result: true\n'), return a bool instead response_str = self.run_script(is_restart_required) However, since we're managing the returned string ourselves, it might be better to use JSON or something. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Python Jenkins Developers, which is subscribed to Python Jenkins. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1806381 Title: install_plugin api throwing array index out of bound exception Status in Python Jenkins: New Bug description: I am using python jenkins api for automation purpose. following is sample code snippet. server=jenkins.Jenkins('http://127.0.0.1', username='admin', password='admin') server.install_plugin("windows-slaves") error- response = response_str.split(':')[1].strip().lower() == 'true' IndexError: list index out of range the response_str is actually ')]}'.
