Hi,
I'm working on my first Jenkins plugin. I'm using the Jenkins Ruby API. The
idea of the plugin is to archive the bundler Gemfile.lock for a ruby project
and have Jenkins show you how it changed between builds.
I've got the first part of this working (archiving Gemfile.lock) using a
subclass of Jenkins::Tasks::Publisher. It was very easy -- the development
environment for ruby plugins (`jpi server`, etc.) is great.
Now I'm trying to add the action which will display the differences. I can't
find any examples of using actions from the ruby plugin API, except for an
example of a root action in the documentation for
Jenkins::Plugin#register_extension. Since the action is build-related, I don't
think that register_extension is the right point. As I said, though, I'm
completely new to Jenkins plugin development so I may be going at this the
wrong way. I've been trying variations on this:
def perform(build, launcher, listener)
# ...
build.native.add_action(Jenkins::Plugin.instance.export(my_action))
end
If my_action is a subclass of Jenkins::Model::RootAction, the build is not
serializable. If my_action just mixes in Jenkins::Model::Action, I get an
"unable to find suitable Java Proxy" during the build. I'm using ruby-runtime
0.4, jpi 0.3.3, and jenkins-ruby-runtime 0.1.26.
Are actions supported from the ruby API? If so, can someone give me a pointer
on how to construct and add one? (Or if I'm completely misunderstanding what
actions are for, a suggestion to go re-read the documentation would be
appreciated.)
Thanks,
Rhett
