I’m about ready to throw in the towel regarding remote job triggers. It is definitely a *LOT* too hard.
I’m trying to start an Ansible construction job on a Jenkins-2 cluster from a Jenkins-1 cluster, as a workaround for a massive number of items not working in Jenkins-1. My prototyping appears to show that 1. I need to know the login credentials and Jenkins user key for the person who pushed the button. These do not appear to be exposed as variables to the job on Jenkins-1. For my prototyping, I’m just hardcoding my own credentials, but moving forward I will need some way of obtaining these in a shell script for production use. 2. The obvious API way of doing this job start refuses to work, I believe ever since the XSRF additions were added. 3. You need an XSRF cookie to do this remote job start, for unclear reasons. Both of my Jenkins sites are exposed through an nginx redirect from port 80, which may have something to do with this. Is this an unresolved bug? 4. The XSRF cookie is not accepted, for unclear reasons. The log is totally useless to figure out why. There must be an undocumented trick, so what is it? Has anyone got remote job initiation actually working?
