Public bug reported: Since Jenkins version 1.519 (released 2013/06/17), build_job() always returns an empty string (the empty HTTP body from the POST request).
The Jenkins REST API currently returns an HTTP response with a "Location" header that includes a queue item number for the job. This queue item number is only valid for a few minutes until Jenkins removes it from memory, but in the meantime, while it's available, clients can poll it to find the eventual job ID / URL. Instead of returning the HTTP response body, we should parse this Location HTTP header and return the queue ID. This will require a new jenkins_urlopen() method, since the main jenkins_open() method only returns the body without regard for any headers. We can also implement a get_queue_item() method to discover a queued job's status, and possibly a job URL. ** Affects: python-jenkins Importance: Undecided Assignee: Ken Dreyer (ktdreyer) Status: In Progress ** Summary changed: - build_job() always returns an empty string + build_job() always returns an empty string, no way to track resulting ID -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Python Jenkins Developers, which is subscribed to Python Jenkins. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724932 Title: build_job() always returns an empty string, no way to track resulting ID Status in Python Jenkins: In Progress Bug description: Since Jenkins version 1.519 (released 2013/06/17), build_job() always returns an empty string (the empty HTTP body from the POST request).
