Python API for managing jobs and nodes in a Jenkins CI instance
Go to file
JP Sullivan f1f97ab4bf Update URLS that require depth or tree filters
Some API endpoints require the use of a filter or they will respond
with HTTP error code 418 I'm a teapot.

This was seen on CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise 2.107.2.1-rolling.

Adding a depth filter will ensure the API calls will succeed.

README

Python Jenkins is a python wrapper for the Jenkins REST API which aims to provide a more conventionally pythonic way of controlling a Jenkins server. It provides a higher-level API containing a number of convenience functions.

We like to use python-jenkins to automate our Jenkins servers. Here are some of the things you can use it for:

  • Create new jobs
  • Copy existing jobs
  • Delete jobs
  • Update jobs
  • Get a job's build information
  • Get Jenkins master version information
  • Get Jenkins plugin information
  • Start a build on a job
  • Create nodes
  • Enable/Disable nodes
  • Get information on nodes
  • Create/delete/reconfig views
  • Put server in shutdown mode (quiet down)
  • List running builds
  • Delete builds
  • Wipeout job workspace
  • Create/delete/update folders1
  • Set the next build number2
  • Install plugins
  • and many more..

To install:

$ sudo python setup.py install

Patches are submitted via Gerrit at:

Please do not submit GitHub pull requests, they will be automatically closed.

The python-jenkins developers communicate in the #openstack-jjb channel on Freenode's IRC network.

More details on how you can contribute is available on our wiki at:

Writing a patch

We ask that all code submissions be flake8 clean. The easiest way to do that is to run tox before submitting code for review in Gerrit. It will run flake8 in the same manner as the automated test suite that will run on proposed patchsets.

Installing without setup.py

Then install the required python packages using pip:

$ sudo pip install python-jenkins
