jenkins_job

This resource manages Jenkins jobs

Actions

• :create
• :delete
• :disable
• :enable
• :build

The resource is fully idempotent and convergent. It also supports why-run mode.

The :create action requires a Jenkins job config.xml. This config file must exist on the target node and contain a valid Jenkins job configuration file. Because the Jenkins CLI actually reads and generates its own copy of this file, do NOT write this configuration inside of the Jenkins job. We recommend putting them in Chef's file cache path:

xml = File.join(Chef::Config[:file_cache_path], 'bacon-config.xml')
 
# You could also use a `cookbook_file` or pure `file` resource to generate
# content at this path.
template xml do
  source 'custom-config.xml.erb'
end
 
# Create a jenkins job (default action is `:create`)
jenkins_job 'bacon' do
  config xml
end

jenkins_job 'bacon' do
  action :delete
end

You can disable a Jenkins job by specifying the :disable option. This will disable an existing job, if and only if that job exists and is enabled. If the job does not exist, an exception is raised.

jenkins_job 'bacon' do
  action :disable
end

You can enable a Jenkins job by specifying the :enable option. This will enable an existing job, if and only if that job exists and is disabled. If the job does not exist, an exception is raised.

jenkins_job 'bacon' do
  action :enable
end

You can execute a Jenkins job by specifying the :build option. This will run the job, if and only if that job exists and is enabled. If the job does not exist, an exception is raised.

jenkins_job 'my-parameterized-job' do
  parameters(
    'STRING_PARAM' => 'meeseeks',
    'BOOLEAN_PARAM' => true,
  )
  # if true will live stream the console output of the executing job  (default is true)
  stream_job_output true
  # if true will block the Chef client run until the build is completed or aborted (defaults to true)
  wait_for_completion true
  action :build
end
