Does it make sense to manage jenkins with a build
automation tool? Question (Think About It…)
Gradle Jenkins Plugin Concepts Gradle (static model) Templates Views Jobs
Jenkins (live model) Views Jobs Updates
deleteJenkinsItems dumpJenkinsItems validateJenkinsItems updateJenkinsItems Gradle Jenkins Plugin updateJenkinsItems Tasks deleteJenkinsItems
validateJenkinsItems dumpJenkinsItems dumpRemoteJenkinsItems
Gradle Jenkins Plugin jenkins { servers { … } templates
{ … } jobs { … } views { … } } Conventions
Servers servers { server1 { url ‘http://jenkins.somewhere.com’ username ‘user1’ password
‘password1’ } } Secured
Servers servers { server1 { url ‘http://jenkins.somewhere.com’ secure false }
} Unsecured
Templates templates { template1 { xml file(‘template.xml’) } } XML
Templates templates { template1 { dsl file(‘template.dsl’) } } DSL
Jobs jobs { build_job1 { server servers.server1 definition { xml
file(‘build_job1.xml’) } } } XML
Jobs jobs { build_job1 { server servers.server1 dsl { using
‘template1’ } } } DSL
Views views { view1 { xml file(‘view1.xml’) } } XML
Views views { view1 { dsl { … } }
} DSL
Multiple DSL Form jenkins { defaultServer servers.server1 dsl fileTree(‘jenkins’).include(‘*.dsl’) dsl
