Has anyone managed to write pipeline code (or even their own plugin) to
approve an input using pipeline code from another job (shared library
NonCPS method or whatever)?
I have this scenario -
*JobA*
input id: 'JOBA_CALLBACK', message: 'Waiting for JobB', parameters: [string(
defaultValue: '', description: 'ID of the callback', name: 'CALLBACK_ID')]
*JobB*
I want to write this with this hypothetical pipeline DSL which doesn't
exist:
approveInput jobName:'JobA', buildNumber: 1234, , inputId: 'JOBA_CALLBACK',
parameters: [CALLBACK_ID: '5678']
Job B in my scenario is actually called by an external system and can route
to a couple of other jobs based on job parameters (so I cannot simply put
Job B code into A).
CloudBees support recommended that I use a REST call-back onto Jenkins to
do this (REST call onto Jenkins from JobB),
I do have this and it works, the code looks like this using the HTTP
Request plugin:
def REQUEST_URL =
"${env.JENKINS_URL}/job/JobA/1234/wfapi/inputSubmit?inputId=V6_CALLBACK".
toString()
def formJsonParamUrlEncoded = java.net.URLEncoder.encode(
"{\"parameter\":[{\"name\":\"CALLBACK_ID\",\"value\":5678]}").toString()
request = httpRequest authentication: 'LOCAL_JENKINS',
consoleLogResponseBody: true,
customHeaders: [[name: 'content-type', value:
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded']],
httpMode: 'POST',
requestBody: "json=${formJsonParamUrlEncoded}",
url: REQUEST_URL,
validResponseCodes: '200'
echo "Request returned: ${request.toString()}"
However this does introduce some failures into our system when our IT folks
have outages that affect our authentication and such like (the REST call to
Jenkins has authentication).
I would like to remove this possibility of failure hence looking at code to
do it.
I feel that there ought to be a way to call Jenkins internals to do this,
but probably it would be best to write a plugin that implements the
hypothetical DSL I have.
If I did write a plugin, would others find this useful?
