How to install or uninstall SonarQube plug-ins with HTTP? - sonarqube

Question

I'm trying to install and uninstall SonarQube plug-ins via HTTP.
If I call http://localhost:9000/api/plugins/installed I get a list of installed plug-ins as expected:
{"plugins": [
{
"key": "csharp",
"name": "C#",
"description": "Enables scanning of C# source files",
"version": "5.7.0.612",
"license": "GNU LGPL 3",
"organizationName": "SonarSource",
"organizationUrl": "http://www.sonarsource.com",
"homepageUrl": "http://redirect.sonarsource.com/plugins/csharp.html",
"issueTrackerUrl": "https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARCS",
"implementationBuild": "6c7d5830a41c62429eade2ead6e3fdf12a388856"
},
...
However if I try to uninstall the csharp plugin with the request
POST /api/plugins/uninstall?key=csharp
I get
{"errors": [{"msg": "An error has occurred. Please contact your administrator"}]}
and in the web.log file I see the following exception:
2017.05.26 17:32:07 INFO web[AVxFChf8uJOZQnKwAAGX][o.s.s.p.ServerPluginRepository] Uninstalling plugin C# [csharp]

Is this a bug or do I have to do something differently?

Answer 1

This is a bug when the web service api/plugins/uninstall is called multiple times for the same plugin. More details at https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-9333.
