I guess responsibility of scm-sync-configuration depends on the point of view: Meaning, if purpose is to have backup stored in a safe place, which can be restored after total disaster (for example disk failure, stolen hardware, fire ...) then list of installed plugins is needed. My experienses are that if you try to restore a xml files that have configuration of plugins not currently installed, Jenkins gets quite confused.
If the purpose is just to have SCM repository where old changes in working jenkins configuration can be fetched if needed, this plugin works just fine. And I am not intended to start a debate of the purpose of the plugin. After all it is great tool for my purposes already. So, I am just suggesting widening the scope of the plugin since I think that it could be done quite easily - However, since my java programming skills are severely limited , I might be mistaken on that one![]()
Since I do lack java programming skills, developing plugin is out of my scope. However I do have done a Jenkins restore successfully with method that is more simple that your way of getting plugin list... Now I'm just wondering whether I had more simple plugins than you have had... So what information is lost with method described below:
Prerequisite are:
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://yourjenkinsurl:8080/ list-plugins > plugins.txt
awk '{print $1}' plugins.txt > plugins_tripped.txt
Output is a simple list which have simple list of plugin names.
The actual restoring config has these steps:
cat plugins_tripped.txt | xargs java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://yourjenkinsurl:8080/ install-plugin
Shut down jenkins, do svn checkout (or GIT pull) to a temporary folder and copy everything to jenkins home folder, start jenkins and you should have working jenkins again up and running.
