Evaristo Gutierrez created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-40770 Take into account optional dependencies during plugins installation Issue Type: Task Assignee: Evaristo Gutierrez Components: acceptance-test-harness Created: 2017/Jan/03 11:41 AM Priority: Minor Reporter: Evaristo Gutierrez A plugin can declare a dependency as optional, so it's not taken into account when installing the plugin. In a test, that optional dependency can be required through @WithPlugins annotation. That is making the plugin to be installed but not necessarily before the plugin with the dependency, which can make some extension points not to be functional. In some occasions, that is making some tests to fail as there is no installation error (as the dependency is optional) and a restart is not therefore required. Thus: if a plugin has an optional dependency that is marked as required, that dependency needs to be installed before the plugin itself.
