Plugins from spigotmc.org and bukkit.org

[Millesimus]

First of all, thanks for this great ansible role! Building and installing Spigot works like a charm and is really effortless.

I just have a minor issue regarding plugins. I would like to install plugins from bukkit.org or spigotmc.org but the role fails, since it expects "jar" in the URL. If I remove that condition, it wouldn't work either because the connection fails (I assume they expect some sort of referrer or a browser user-agent).

Hi,
Thanks for the Feedback,

At the moment i am not sure what you mean. If you want use a plugin, for example vault, you must use the redirected Download Location in your Config, like https://media.forgecdn.net/.... Don't use the URL from the UI like https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/vault/files/latest. The Redirect will be not support by the Role, at the moment.

Thanks, got it working for bukkit.org (still fiddling with spigotmc). Following the redirect would be great for auto-updating. :)

I experienced a strange bug with this. I had a plugin from dev.bukkit.org (Dynmap) that I loaded after another plugin (GriefPrevention) coming from another source and it would create "Ambiguous plugin name" errors. It took me a while to understand that the role didn't throw an error although it was not able to fetch Dynmap and re-used the GriefPrevention url:

original_url: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/dynmap/files/3724063/download

Can you reproduce this behaviour or is it some local issue?

Hi,

I have tried to recreate the behaviour.
You will be find the used config at issue_151_plugins/molecule.yml.

But in this test, the server starts successfully.

Can you give me some more Informations, like Ansible Version, OS (Ansible Host, and destination Server).

I think it would help if you could provide the full configuration from the used Role.

At the moment I would say that it is a local problem.

I made a PR so that you use the same link (not the correct redirected one but the incorrect one) and the same plugin order (order is important here, I assume).

To clarify, I now that these links are not supported. But if used, I would expect them to throw an error or simply fail. However, having an unsupported link resulted in a re-use of a successful download.
