autojenkins
Automation (remote control) of Jenkins tasks.
Includes a class autojenkins.Jenkins
that you can use to drive Jenkins.
Things you can do with it:
- Copy a job (e.g. from a template job)
- Delete a job
- Obtain the
config.xml
file for that job - Trigger building of a job
- Obtain latest execution results
- ...
Sample use:
from autojenkins import Jenkins
j = Jenkins('http://jenkins.pe.local')
# trigger a manual build and check results
j.build('warehouse-screens-us544_login')
j.last_result('warehouse-screens-us544_login')
# get only the result string (one of 'SUCCESS', 'UNSTABLE', 'FAILURE'):
j.last_result('warehouse-screens-us544_login')['result']
# get the configuration file for a job:
j.get_config_xml('template')
# Create a new job from a job named 'template', replacing variables
j.create_copy('my-new-job', 'template',
repo='mbf-warehouse-screens',
branch='us544_login',
package='warehouse_screens')
# build
j.build('my-new-job')
# enable or disable
j.enable('my-new-job')
j.disable('my-new-job')
# check result and delete if successful:
result = j.last_result('my-new-job')['result']
if result == 'SUCCESS':
j.delete('my-new-job')
Authentication
If your Jenkins server uses authentication, you can use HTTP basic authentication in this way:
jenkins = Jenkins('http://jenkins', auth=('user', 'pass'))
Note that you can use either a cleartext password or a Jenkins API token as the password.
