Welcome!

Remember the good ol' days when we could check if all plugins installed in a customer's instance were compatible using Renjith's Never Look At That Log Again script?

His script stopped working a while ago and since them we'd need to struggle with Hercules to get a list of compatible add-ons or check them manually (NOOOOO!). Well... Not Anymore!

I wrote this script to help us verify if all plugins in a customer's instance are compatible and to download them if necessary. It accepts either an application.xml file from JIRA's Support Zip or a log file (that contains the startup information). This is how to use it:

Script Options

#!

    -h:     HALP!

    -i:     Used to specify the input file (applications.xml file)

    -c:     Tells the script to check the plugin's compatibility (default option if -d is not specified)

    -d:     Tells the script to download the plugins (if -c is specified, ignores -d)

    -o:     The destination directory to which this script will download the plugins if -d is specified.
            If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created

    -l:     Tells the script that the input file is a log instead of application.xml (which is the default)

Examples

To check the plugins compatibility: 

#!
    checkCompatibility -i <application.xml>
OR
    checkCompatibility -l -i <atlassian-jira.log>

To download the plugins: 

#!
    checkCompatibility -d -i <application.xml> -o <jira-home/plugins/installed-plugins>
OR
    checkCompatibility -d -l -i <atlassian-jira.log> -o <jira-home/plugins/installed-plugins>

How to Install

Simply run the following in your terminal:

#!bash

git clone https://bitbucket.org/mfernandes/scripts.git
The Script will let you know when there is a new version available so that you always keep it up-to-date. :)

Have fun! And please let me know if you face any problems or have any suggestions!
