Last WE, I tried to fix 2 bugs. The first was the HttpClient lib issue. The second was the CSRF Prevention feature in Jenkins.
Dealing with IDEA version was easy. Just need to create 2 branches and 2 releases.
Dealing with Jenkins Security layer is not a simple task and the solution of CSRF was not good enough. Some use cases make the plugin fail. So the quality of the latest release is very low. I just let my keyboard away from me a couple of day and try to figure out the root cause.
Jenkins has a legacy mode that let you give credentials username/password. From the 1.426, CSRF has been introduced to prevent attack and misuses that could be critical for some organization. It generates for each user a crumb data (a kind of id user).
In that case, even if using basic credentials could have no sense and provide crumb data is secure enough for authentication, it needs to be supported.
The upcoming fix is to provide 2
I would like to apologize myself on the low quality of work that has been produced last day. For the next releases, I will spend more time on functional tests before uploading to the Jetbrains Plugin Repository.
Never mind. It's your spare time you are investing for this plugin to work and implementing bugs is human, so don't apologize, just fix the bugs and make every one who is using your plugin happy :-).
