PI88985: PLUGIN UPGRADE FAILS IF PLUGIN'S COMPONENT TEMPLATE HAS BEEN DELETED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a plugin contains a component template, and that template is
  later deleted, future versions of the plugin will fail to
  import.  An error message like the following will appear in the
  logs:
  
  com.urbancode.air.i18n.TranslatableException: Component Template
  with name X already exists!
  
  To recreate:
  1. Download a few versions of the "WebSphere Application Server
  Deployment" plugin from the UCD website.
  2. Install the earliest version of the plugin into a UCD server.
  Notice that a component template "WebSphere Enterprise
  Application" is created.
  3. Delete that component template
  4. Attempt to upgrade the plugin by loading a new version.
  Notice an error message occurs, and the aforementioned log
  message occurs.
  

Local fix

• If you do not want to use the component template in the plugin,
  you can delete the corresponding JSON file from inside the
  plugin zip.  The plugin will not attempt to upgrade the
  previously deleted component template, and will import
  successfully.
