We use the jenkins job builder
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jenkins-job-builder) to manage jenkins jobs.
It supports yaml and can parse json as well so you can create your jobs in
either and have it create the jobs for you. Most of the examples in
documentation are in yaml but json will work as well.
Here's an example:
create this simple.json file:
[
{
"job": {
"name": "simple",
"builders": [
{
"shell": "echo This is my job"
}
]
}
}
]
run jenkins-job-builder to test the: 'jenkins-jobs test simple.json'
run update to upload the job to jenkins: 'jenkins-jobs --conf
jenkins_master.ini update simple.json'
Hope this helps.
