I have a multibranch configuration job, which I have created for using the remote jenkins file plugin, I have git repo in which I have the "jenkinsfile" named as customjenkins Now I am trying to configure the job in such a way that when ever a change is done to the "jenkinfile" the build should trigger, but in my case the top build is only triggered but the job with repo inside doesnt trigger and only can be done manually, please see the picture below for better understanding. Can anyone tell me what am I missing here

I am looking to auto create jobs in jenkins upon pull request , branches, master push etc similar to what we do in Gitlab. My SCM is butbucket here.
I have so far setup docker based agent integration with Jenkins and butbucket, when I create a job and configure it to use repo it all works fine , but I just want to remove altogether a step of job creation in jenkins and want the workflow like this:
In butbucket source code repo to keep all pipeline configuration for and branch and tag to trigger Jenkins pipeline without touching Jenkins for job creation or any config creation. Just want to drive all via the script in code repo for pipeline .
Any recommendations or help for workflow would be appreciated
I got the answer to my Question , hence listing the steps for very simple use case for how it would work.
Steps:
Go to bitbucket server repository to which you want to enable pull request based trigger. Add Post Recieve Hook to this repository "Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket Server" , Enable this hook to have connection to jenkins. Enabling this plugin will issue POST request to jenkins each time a new Pull request is opened.
On Jenkins Server this will work with Blue Ocean Pipeline which by default will pick the change for pull request branch and trigger the job on each pull request.
Blue Ocean pipeline will by default create multi branch pipeline job to work with bitbucket repository.
I am new to Jenkins. I have development code repository at bitbucket and another test script code repository at bitbucket. Now I have setup a Jenkins job by linking test code repository. Is there any way to trigger a build when code is pushed in develop repo?
I tried many times by pushing change in develop repo, but it does not triggers the jenkins job.
You can configure the Jenkins trigger as an SCM poll.
You will have to enter a cron expression for the polling time period, like:
*/5 * * * *
This means polling from 5 to 5 minutes. If any change is detected, then the build is triggered.
You can add the BitBucket Plugin to your Jenkins instance. It will allow you to configure a webhook in BitBucket that will then trigger any Jenkins job listening for that webhook. The plugin's page has a detailed breakdown, but the basics are;
In your repo in BitBucket, create a new Webhook using your Jenkins' url. I believe the url is generally http://[your jenkins url]/bitbucket-hook/
Make the trigger a repo push.
In your Jenkins job, check the box "Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket" under the Build Triggers section.
Now any time you commit to the repo you created the Webhook on, that Jenkins job will be run.
You can also limit what branches trigger commits by parameterizing your Jenkins build to ignore certain branches / keywords / etc if that's something you need for your specific project.
You can use webhooks to trigger build automatically. There are few options how to use it. See the following articles: this, this and this.
I want to know how we can setup a jenkins pipeline job which gets triggered after each commit made github private repository.
I am able to do it using a freestyle job but not able to do it using a pipeline.
I did setup the gihub project url, GitHub hook trigger for GITScm polling and wrote a simple pipeline script of checking out the branch.
When I do a changes in the branch and commit it the build wont get triggered.
Can I get a solution on this please?
It works when we add a timestamp block in the pipeline code.
I m able to trigger the pipeline by Adding a GitHub Webhook in Jenkins Pipeline.
I have followed steps mentioned in this blog.
In my case jenkins is running on localhost. Replacing localhost with your jenkins_url should work.
Also, I did not found GitHub Pull Requests mentioned in the blog, so I skipped that step.
After completing the configuration you have to build the pipeline manually once, after that everytime a developer commits a code to GitHub, pipeline build will be triggered.
I want to configure a cicd pipeline in jenkins, with every change in github the job has to be triggered automatically. I configured freestyle job and iam able to trigger my freestyle job with every push in the Github. When iam trying the same with my pipeline job it is not getting triggered.below is the configuration of pipeline job
and my pipeline code is simple to test with below code.I ran it once and twice to take effect. after that also for any change in my github my pipeline is not getting triggered automatically.
node {
stage('test') {
echo "test"
}}
Could anyone let me know why my pipeline job is not able to automatically trigger with github changes when my freestyle job is able to trigger? What am i missing in my pipeline job?
I also added the below configuration as suggested but still no luck. Inspite of all the configuration for automatic triggering what am i missing here.
You need change job type to pipeline.
Inside you repository put Jenkinsfile and adjust hook.
To give some context the question is about GitLab and Jenkins setup.
I know how to setup a web hook, I know how to setup a job to be triggered by the hook. The problem is that I need to have multiple jobs and only a single entry-point (parent job) trigger for them.
The downstream jobs at the same time need to be git repo aware so I have to set repo url for them. This causes them to be triggered independently by the hook and I don't want that as this means that they are triggered twice.
On the other hand if I don't configure repo url on a downstream job and the parent job triggers it, it fails as it is not able to do a checkout.
I may try to hack around with some 'execute shell' build step, I believe it's not a valid way to go. Has anybody a good tip how to solve that?
For the reference here is the GitLab Jenkins plugin documentation according to which:
Plugin will parse the GitLab payload and extract the branch for which
the commit is being pushed and changes made. It will then scan all Git
projects in Jenkins and start the build for those that:
match url of the GitLab repo
match the configured refspec pattern if any
and match committed GitLab branch
I tried playing around with different settings, without a great result though.
For the project you want to get only local triggers, just enable Don't trigger a built on commit notification in the Additional behaviours of git plugin.
(https://github.com/elvanja/jenkins-gitlab-hook-plugin/issues/11#issuecomment-35385032, as you actually have discovered).
But a better solution could be to make your downstream jobs reference the repository locally cloned by main job (not sure if actually possible), so the plugin will never consider them for schedule a build, as the git url don't match.
