Jenkins and plugins versions report

Linux/Ubuntu openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19

What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

Linux/Ubuntu openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19Linux/Ubuntu

Reproduction steps

1. Download different versions. https://github.com/jenkinsci/plugin-installation-manager-tool/releases/download/2.12.6/jenkins-plugin-manager-2.12.6.jar and https://github.com/jenkinsci/plugin-installation-manager-tool/releases/download/2.12.9/jenkins-plugin-manager-2.12.9.jar
2. Create plugin download list, for example:
   plugins:

• artifactId: javax-activation-api
  source:
  version: latest
• artifactId: javax-mail-api
  source:
  version: latest
• artifactId: bouncycastle-api
  source:
  version: latest
• artifactId: instance-identity
  source:
  version: latest
• artifactId: ionicons-api
  source:
  version: latest
• artifactId: cloudbees-folder
  source:
  version: latest

3. Run:
   java -jar jenkins-plugin-manager-2.12.6.jar --jenkins-version 2.377 --plugin-download-directory plugin-dir --plugin-file plugins-download.yaml --verbose > log.txt

4. Run:
   java -jar jenkins-plugin-manager-2.12.9.jar --jenkins-version 2.377 --plugin-download-directory plugin-dir --plugin-file plugins-download.yaml --verbose > log.txt

jenkins-plugin-manager-2.12.6.jar from step 3. creates log.txt and jenkins-plugin-manager-2.12.9.jar from step 4. does not populate log.txt.

Expected Results

log.txt should be populated as in 2.12.6 version.

Actual Results

creating and population of log.txt works differently in 2.12.7. 2.12.8 and 2.12.9 ( it is empty). In <2.12.6 versions it is ok

Anything else?

No response

As far as I understand it, this is an intentional change that was made in

• #448

It is documented in 2.12.7 changelog and in the README
