plugin authentication issue about ansible-jenkins HOT 1 CLOSED

i figured out a solution. it has to do with the downloaded jenkins-cli.jar appears to be incompatible with the version of jenkins installed on the instance. Therefore, the best thing to do is copy the already installed jenkins-cli.jar to the same directory as what would have been downloaded

in cli.yml,

change this

• name: Get Jenkins CLI
  get_url:
  url: "{{ jenkins_api_url }}jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar"
  dest: "{{ jenkins_cli_dest }}"
  mode: 0440
  register: jenkins_local_cli
  until: "'OK' in jenkins_local_cli.msg or 'file already exists' in jenkins_local_cli.msg"
  retries: 5
  delay: 10

to

• name: Get Jenkins CLI
  command: "cp /var/cache/jenkins/war/WEB-INF/jenkins-cli.jar {{ jenkins_cli_dest }}"
  become: yes

from ansible-jenkins.
