Subversion Service uninstall

[Norbert]

Hi

using Jira 5.1.1 and the Subversion plugin 0.10.11
I would like to upgrade to version 0.10.12, so I tried to follow the uninstall instruction on Plugin site
https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SVN/Subversion+JIRA+plugin

Here it says to delete the service, but I don't have a delete Button/link available
what should i do?

Hmm, since it's version 0.10.11, it is a legacy plugin that can't be installed by means of UPM. I reckon you did install it correctly as a version 1 plugin, and that everything worked as it should be. However, since you would like to upgrade to 0.10.12 (version 2 plugin), you would need to clear the old ones first hand. I remember attempting this before, but I didn't delete the service at all.

All I did was:

1. Shutdown JIRA.
2. Delete the related JARs in the $JIRA_INSTALL/atlassian-jira/WEB_INF/libdirectory:
   1. atlassian-subversion-plugin-*.jar
   2. javasvn-*.jar
   3. svnkit-*.jar
   4. ganymed-*.jar
   5. trilead-*.jar
3. Make a copy of the subversion-jira-plugin.properties file inside $JIRA_INSTALL/atlassian-jira/WEB_INF/classes. After copying it, I delete the original.
4. Delete the following to clear the cache:
   1. $JIRA_HOME/plugins/.osgi-plugins
   2. $JIRA_HOME/plugins/.bundled-plugins
   3. $JIRA_HOME/caches/indexes
   4. $JIRA_INSTALL/work/
5. Download the new plugin.
6. Place this new plugin into the $JIRA_HOME/plugins/installed-plugins directory
7. Restart JIRA.
8. Re-index.
9. Apply any changes you made in the subversion-jira-plugin.properties to the Administration interface in UI.

Have you tried this direct route? I reckon the service may be re-created/replace the old one by this way.

thanks for the guide
It looks like it works, I'm going to comment on the plugin site to improve the uninstall guide

[Justin Alex Paramanandan]

You're welcome, mate! Glad that it works now! :D

Sure thing, mate! Might as well make a shoutout to the developer to update the docs to reflect this change. :)

a little addon:

the file atlassian-subversion-plugin* didn't exist at my instance,
I simple searched for *subversion* to find the right file

[Justin Alex Paramanandan]

Ah, noted. Thanks for the heads up; I've forgotten that they changed the name as well. :)

Thanks Justin, this is awesome. :)

I've updated https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SVN/Subversion+JIRA+plugin with this information and there are some steps that were skipped such as deleting cache directories and reindexing as they're not needed.

[Justin Alex Paramanandan]

Thanks, @David. Glad that it helped! :)

I am currently using SVN plugin 0.10.11.0. I am planning upgrade to 0.10.12. I would like to know, once I upgrade to 0.10.12. Do I need to re-configure all our project repository manually in JIRA?. Please help me.... Thanks Ganga S

Hi there,

You can install plugins manually following the steps found on this link:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/__installing+a+JIRA+plugin+manually

Please give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Regards.

Norbert,

The link you provided in the question, as far as I know, makes sense only if you installed the old plugin following the old-legacy method: copy the jars into WEB-INF/lib and restart. Is this your case?

If you installed that from UPM (uploading through the jira web), I think that you can upgrade it by using the manage addons without having to stop the service ...

[Alex Perez]

Im using the same plugin as you, and I don't have the "delete" link. Perhaps the documentation is outdated ...

Can you try to edit the service and put an empty Delay?

or go to Manage Add-ons and disable the whole plugin or some components to stop the service?

Edit: Ive read the link you posted, and the upgrade procedure (deploying files in web-inf/lib/...) makes no sense if you installed it using UPM. Can you try to disable the plugin from "Manage Plugins" and upload the new version with UPM?

[Norbert]

Empty Delay doesn't work, i get the error

Please specify a delay longer than one minute.

I tried to disable the Plugin (Manage Plugins section) but this also doesn't effect a thing...

The only way to disable it was to delete every file with the name subversion in it.

Hi
