Summary
This article explains how to get a list of repositories for which a particular app (plugin) is enabled.
Environment
Bitbucket 8.13, but also applicable to other versions.
Solution
In Bitbucket's apps system's architecture, all apps are installed globally for the whole server/cluster. Bitbucket has no built-in mechanism for turning on or off installed apps per repository.
However, that does not prevent a particular app from implementing its own means of deactivating or activating itself for a specific repository.
Two methods may help to get the required information:
- Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) REST API call that will list installed apps and their details. Please check the page How to Access UPM REST API for License Details for more information.
HTTP (not REST) request, which can be tried directly from the web browser - URL is
<BaseURL>/plugins/servlet/active-objects/tables/listThe result of that request is a "Plugin Data Storage" page, which lists apps and SQL database tables they use.
Apps that use their own mechanism for per-repository enabling will use some of those tables to store that information, so this would be the place to start the investigation.
