Create Jenkins pipeline using REST api and CURL

readme.md

Jenkins REST scripts

• Set variable

export JENKINS_URL=

export COOKIES=

• Get the config.xml from a pre-created job or create another one according to the need :

curl -X GET "$JENKINS_URL/job/test-pipeline/config.xml" -u admin:admin -o config.xml

• Generate Crumb :

CRUMB=$(curl -s "$JENKINS_URL/crumbIssuer/api/json" --cookie "$COOKIES" | python3 -c "import sys, json;i=json.load(sys.stdin);print(i['crumbRequestField']+':'+i['crumb'])")

echo $CRUMB # display value
#output: Jenkins-Crumb:d11aea06df13cdeb17ab7a12f2832eae

• Use xml to create another jenkins job :

curl -X POST "$JENKINS_URL/createItem?name=$jobName" --cookie "$COOKIES" --data-binary @config.xml -H "$CRUMB" -H "Content-Type:text/xml"

• Or, use xml to update exists jenkins job :

curl -X POST "$JENKINS_URL/$jobName" --cookie "$COOKIES" --data-binary @config.xml -H "$CRUMB" -H "Content-Type:text/xml"
