Jenkins - Passing array/list to Parameterized Remote Build

Question

I am using Jenkins to remotely run an Ansible playbook via the Publish Over SSH command.

This command:

curl -k -v -X POST https://jenkins.m         


        

Answer 1

This is a bit of a guess, based on a similar problem I have seen with a choice parameter. Any documentation I have found seems to be wrong about how to handle these. It shouldn't be a list. Try passing as a string with newlines separating the items.

curl -k -v -X POST https://jenkins.myhost.com/job/Ansible_Deploy/build?token= --user : --data-urlencode json='{"parameter":[{"name":"thisIsAList","value":"one\ntwo\nthree"}]}'

Let me know if this works. I'm interested to find out.

Edit: (based on comments)

Would this work:

curl -k -v -X POST https://jenkins.myhost.com/job/Ansible_Deploy/build?token= --user : --data-urlencode json='{"parameter":[{"name":"thisIsAList","value":"'{\"thisIsAList\": [\"one\",\"two\",\"three\"]}'"}]}'

The nested quotes get a bit ugly. If you are using pipeline or can massage the data in a shell script first, it would probably be cleaner.
