How to trigger Jenkins builds remotely and to pass parameters

问题

I am invoking a Jenkins job remotely using:

wget http://<ServerIP>:8080/job/Test-Jenkins/build?token=DOIT

Here Test-Jenkins job is invoked and DOIT is the security token that I have used.

Now I need to pass some parameters to the build.xml file of this job i.e. Test-Jenkins.

I have not yet figured out how to pass the variables yet.

回答1:

See Jenkins documentation: Parameterized Build

Below is the line you are interested in:

http://server/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?token=TOKEN&PARAMETER=Value

回答2:

To trigger a build with own/custom parameters, invoke the following URL (using either POST or GET):

http://JENKINS_SERVER_ADDRESS/job/YOUR_JOB_NAME/buildWithParameters?myparam=myparam_value

Then in your Jenkins job configuration, tick the box named "This build is parameterized", click the "Add Parameter" button and select the "String Parameter" drop down value.

Now define your parameter - example:

Now you can use your parameter in your job / build pipeline, example:

To pass/use the variables, first create parameters in the configure section of Jenkins. Parameters that you use can be of type text, String, file, etc.

After creating them, use the variable reference in the fields you want to.

For example: I have configured/created two variables for Email-subject and Email-recipentList, and I have used their reference in the EMail-ext plugin (attached screenshot).

To add to this question, I found out that you don't have to use the /buildWithParameters endpoint.

In my scenario, I have a script that triggers Jenkins to run tests after a deployment. Some of these tests require extra info about the deployment to work correctly.

If I tried to use /buildWithParameters on a job that does not expect parameters, the job would not run. I don't want to go in and edit every job to require fake parameters just to get the jobs to run.

Instead, I found you can pass parameters like this:

curl -X POST --data-urlencode "token=${TOKEN}" --data-urlencode json='{"parameter": [{"name": "myParam", "value": "TEST"}]}' https://jenkins.corp/job/$JENKINS_JOB/build

With this json=... it will pass the param myParam with value TEST to the job whenever the call is made. However, the Jenkins job will still run even if it is not expecting the parameter myParam.

The only scenario this does not cover is if the job has a parameter that is NOT passed in the json. Even if the job has a default value set for the parameter, it will fail to run the job. In this scenario you will run into the following error message / stack trace when you call /build:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No such parameter definition: myParam

I realize that this answer is several years late, but I hope this may be useful info for someone else!

Note: I am using Jenkins v2.163

You can simply try it with a jenkinsfile. Create a Jenkins job with following pipeline script.

pipeline {
    agent any

    parameters {
        booleanParam(defaultValue: true, description: '', name: 'userFlag')
    }

    stages {
        stage('Trigger') {
            steps {
                script {
                    println("triggering the pipeline from a rest call...")
                }
            }
        }
        stage("foo") {
            steps {
                echo "flag: ${params.userFlag}"
            }
        }

    }
}

Build the job once manually to get it configured & just create a http POST request to the Jenkins job as follows.

The format is http://server/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?PARAMETER=Value

curl http://admin:test123@localhost:30637/job/apd-test/buildWithParameters?userFlag=false --request POST
