Extra Tool Installers

Jenkins plugin. Provides additional tool installers.

Features

Plugin provides following installers:

Batch command installer for Windows.
- This is functionally similar to the core code BatchCommandInstaller, but this one performs variable substitution on the batch script before it is executed.
- Useful when you want your installation script to take node-specific variables into account.
Install from a specified folder
- Setup without any actions (ex, "installation" from a shared directory)
- Useful when a tool is pre-installed on nodes matching a particular label expression
Skip or fail installation
- Prints warnings during the installation and/or fails the installation
- Useful when a tool is not available on nodes matching a particular label expression
Download (with basic authentication) and extract a zip/tar.gz
- This is functionally similar to the core code "Extract .zip/.tar.gz" installer, but this supports HTTP Basic Authentication for the download.
- Useful when you need to download from servers that do not permit anonymous downloads.
Try any of ...
- Used to try (and possibly re-try) one or more nested installers until one succeeds.
- Useful when using e.g. Extract .zip/tar.gz installers that are downloading from URLs which cannot be relied upon.

Example of installers usage in the Custom Tools Plugin:

Example of using the "Try any of..." and "basic-auth" installers to try downloading a custom tool from either of two (unreliable) internal servers, retrying if necessary:
