Hello Jenkins Community!
Is there a way to reliably get the *build number* from a remotely triggered build? Here's the process I use to remotely trigger a build 1) POST a http request to trigger a build POST https://{hostname}/job/{job_name}/build 2) From the response's Location header, get the *queue number* of the build Location: https://{hostname}/queue/item/673730/ 3) Repeatedly send GET request to the *queue* GET https://{hostname}/queue/item/673730/api/json?pretty=true 4) Get the *build number* Response body: { ... "id": 67370, "executable": { "number": 18073, "url": "https://{hostname}/job/{job_name}/18073/"; } } 5) Use the build number to get the current status, console output, etc. GET https://{hostname}/job/{job_name}/18073/consoleLogFull/api/json?pretty=true Question is, is there a way for me to go from 1) to 3)? Or, another way to remotely build a Jenkins Job to 4) directly? I'm seeing inefficiencies in having to continuously send a GET request at 2). Also, if the *queue number* becomes invalid (which happens a short while after build runs), then there's no way to get the build number. I CANNOT use the 'latest build' option, since multiple job trigger may occur at once. At least from the UI it seems that a job is given a build number as soon as it is triggered(through the UI) Many suggestions appreciated, thx. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
