These jenkins.osmocom.org job definitions, managed by
https://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/index.html[Jenkins Job Builder]
*Prepare:*
Install jenkins-job-builder:
apt-get install jenkins-job-builder
Have a jenkins-job-builder.ini file. Convenient is to place a system wide one,
if you're the only one using the system, at /etc/jenkins_jobs/jenkins_jobs.ini;
otherwise place one in here and pass it to jenkins-jobs using the --conf file.
Make sure the file not world readable to minimally safeguard your jenkins password.
jenkins_jobs.ini:
[jenkins]
user=my_user_name
password=my_password
url=https://jenkins.osmocom.org/jenkins
and
chmod go-rwx jenkins_jobs.ini
*Update a single job on jenkins.osmocom.org:*
jenkins-jobs --conf jenkins_jobs.ini update gerrit-verifications.yml gerrit-osmo-msc
NOTE: when you supply a name not defined in that yml file, you will not get an
error message, just nothing will happen.
*Update all jobs of one file:*
jenkins-jobs --conf jenkins_jobs.ini update gerrit-verifications.yml
*Update all jobs in all files:*
jenkins-jobs --conf jenkins_jobs.ini update ./
*Troubleshooting:*
- 'jenkins.JenkinsException: create[gerrit-osmo-msc] failed'
jenkins.osmocom.org is not reachable, or URL in the config file is erratic.
Make sure it is exactly
url=https://jenkins.osmocom.org/jenkins
- newlines:
The build commands may be multiline, but especially in the
gerrit-verifications.yml, where the commands are first stored in 'cmd' and
later inserted in a 'shell' section, the newlines between individual shell
lines don't all survive. Interestingly enough, only a line that has more
indenting than the first line also receives an actual newline in the resulting
jenkins Execute Shell section; take a look at the job's config page on jenkins.
Hence we often have a '# keep first line with less indent' comment. The safest
way to ensure the commands work is to insert ';' at the end of each and every
shell command. Still keep '\' at the end of lines to be combined, because you
can't rely on newlines being omitted, either.
- jobs named on cmdline are not updated:
Make sure the job name is correct, or just issue an entire yml file without
individual job names.
