Is there any way to make Jenkins builds after each commit in any branch ?
Because i found in my project's configuration that Jenkins run build only after detecting commits in specific branch or in the default ( eq to master in git ).
PS: i'm using mercurial and Jenkins file.
Should i change project type ( new item type in Jenkins ) or are there any modifications in configs.
There are two things that you should check for this (I haven't work with Mercurial)
Does Mercurial has the option to create webhooks?
There is a jenkins plugin for Mercurial? (I think there is)
You must configure on the mercurial site the webhook pointing to Jenkins and give the point to the job you want to run, and on which events does it will fire. On the Jenkins side you must configure on the job who it will behave.
For example, with GitLab, the plugin has an option configured on the "Build Trigger" section where you configure the events and the branches that fires the job. In GitLab, in the repository you create the webhook, that is only a URL pointing to the Jenkins job.
I got this solution and it worked for me.
with Mercurial, we can use the "tip" keyword.The tip revision is the most recent changeset in the repository. It is the most recently changed head.
Is there a simple way to trigger jenkins job when a specific file is modified in enterprise github?
For example:
github: https://example.git.lab.com
repo: testrepo
If a file named base.cfg in the repo is changed, then a Jenkins freestyle job in Jenkins is triggered and executed. Thanks.
I checked git and github plugin, but didn't find they have this functionality.
In your Jenkins freestyle job configuration page:
Under Source Code Management, select Git.
Specify the repository URL, credentials, and branch.
Next to Additional Behaviours, click Add and then select Polling ignores commits in certain paths.
In the Included Regions textbox, specify the filepath relative to the root of the repository. You can specify multiple filepaths or regex patterns in new lines.
Save the changes.
Assuming that you have already configured Gitlab webhooks, this job will be triggered only when the specified file(s) have been updated. The other files in the repository will be ignored.
I have gitlab repository, under one repository I have many projects. Now I want to intergrate gitlab with Jenkins . So normllay when ever a commit happen in git repo the solution file in the repository should build.
But in my case if I integrate with Jenkins I have many solutions files in same repository.so I want to trigger only the solution file which is related to the commited file.
Is their any way by using webhook (or any way ) to know what folder of the repository is modified ? So that I can run related solution file based on the path
Folder structure:
Project1/project1.sln and dependent files
Project2/project2.sln and dependent files
Thanks in advance.and also please guide for githab webhook configuration to integrate with Jenkins .
GitLab Webhooks can be created in the GitLab Web-Interface. The modified files are listed in the body of the Push-Message.
Solution with the Git Plugin
Create a Freestyle Job for one solution file e.g. Project1
Go to Build Trigges
Select Poll SCM.
Leave Schedule empty
Go to Source-Code-Management
Select Git
Configure Repository URL and Credentials
Enter Branch e.g. refs/heads/master
Select Repository Browser (AUTO)
At Additional Behaviours press Add Button the bottom
Select Polling ignores commits in certain Paths
Fill Included Regions with the path to the project folder e.g. ^Project1/*.. That means it will only trigger the build if changes in that folder or it's subfolders are detected.
Go to Post-Build Actions at the bottom of the job configuration and press Add Button
Select Clean Workspace after Build
Add Patterns for files to be deleted press Add Button
Select Exclude
Enter **/.git/*
Select Checkbox Apply pattern also on directories
When GitLab sends a Push Message, Jenkins will trigger SCM polling of this job. It will verify if there are changes in the related folder. Build will start if this is the case.
You can check the git polling protocol at /job//scmPollLog/
Solution with the GitLab Plugin
The Jenkins GitLab Plugin would also be a solution.
I have started using Jenkins recently and there is only scenario where I am stuck. I need to run "Jenkins pipeline" automatically when git push happens for specific folder in master branch. Only if something is added to specific folder, than pipeline should run.
I have already tried SCM with Sparse checkout path, and mentioned my folder, but that's not working.
I am using GUI free style project, I dont know groovy.
I had the same issue and I resolved it by configuring the Git poll.
I used poll SCM to trigger a build and I used the additional behavior of Jenkins Git plugin named "Polling ignores commits in certain paths" > "Included Regions" : my_specific_folder/.*
By the way, using Sparse checkout path allows jenkins to checkout only the folder you mentioned.
I have successfully setup a webhook trigger in bitbucket for a Jenkins freestyle project, for test purposes.
Unfortunately my Jenkins project is using the Pipeline format, and I am unable to get Bitbucket to trigger that kind of project; the problem seems to be that there is no Jenkins project registered to pull from the repo that the Bitbucket webhook is coming from, and Jenkins replies with:
Error: Jenkins response: No git jobs using repository: ssh://git#myhost:7999/xxx/testing-jenkins.git and branches: master No Git consumers using SCM API plugin for: ssh://git#myhost:7999/xxx/testing-jenkins.git
The pipeline project is setup in a way that the Jenkinsfile is to be found in the given repository (ssh://git#myhost:7999/xxx/testing-jenkins.git), by using the "Pipeline script from SCM" option.
Therefore there is actually a kind of "git consumer" for the Pipeline, but this does not seem to be taken into account by Jenkins, probably because this is not a real project source, but a pipeline source.
Are there any examples of integration of Bitbucket and Jenkins Pipeline projects? I have been unable to find any.
If your are looking for a full Bitbucket and Jenkins Pipeline, I highly recommend to use the Bitbucket Branch Source Plugin. The plugin will discover all Branches and Pull Requests and build all who have a JenkinsFile in the root of repo.
You can also use create a project as Bitbucket Team, who will scan all repo of your organization:
See the official doc of CloudBees
I was struggling with the same problem. Following are the key points I followed.
In Jenkins pipeline job,
Under Build Triggers, check 'Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from scripts)' and fill in the 'Authentication Token' with some random and unique token.
In BitBucket repository,
Go to Settings > Services
Select 'Jenkins' from the drop down and 'Add service'.
Check 'Csrf Enabled'
Endpoint : http://username:apitoken#yourjenkinsurl.com/
You can find username and apitoken at Jenkins home > People
Select the user and click on configure. Under 'API Token' click on the 'Show API Token' button and you see the username and apitoken
Module name : This is optional. It can be any particular file or folder which is to be watched.
Project name : The project name in Jenkins.
If the job is in some folder structure, say I have 'MyTestFolder/MyTestPipelineJob', Project name to be mentioned is 'MyTestFolder/job/MyTestPipelineJob'
Token : 'Authentication Token' created in Jenkins job.
You are ready to go!!
I referred http://felixleong.com/blog/2012/02/hooking-bitbucket-up-with-jenkins/ and some of my instincts. :)
A simple solution is to use Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin in Jenkins.
You would need to
Enable it in a free style or pipeline job.
Configure a token string
Construct JSONPath:s to gather whatever you need from the Bitbucket Webhook.
Add the plugin endpoint in Bitbucket. JENKINS_URL/generic-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=whatever_you_picked
The plugin will give you clear feedback when it is invoked so that troubleshooting is made easy.
It is up to you to pick whatever values you need from the webhook in order to clone the correct repository or whatever it is you want to do when the it is invoked.
I have this same issue. My workaround was just to create a freestyle project that can be triggered by the WebHook, and have the the Pipeline triggered by that project's completion.
In the mean time, here's the Jenkins bug you can watch for a fix:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-38447
Spend hours figuring out how to do this in 2017.10
Like #JPLemelin described, new a Jenkins item using a Bitbucket Team/project
ref to the doc: https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000051132-How-to-Trigger-Multibranch-Jobs-from-BitBucket-Cloud- , install the plugin: The BitBucket Branch Source plugin.
go to bitbucket, and add webhook: ${your-jenkins-url}/bitbucket-scmsource-hook/notify
after these 3 steps, I finally make the pipeline jobs run after new commit into bitbucket
I had the same exact issue...
The cause was using */master for branch specifier. I needed to spell it out: origin/master (no wildcards).
It works well now.
I was finally able to make this work with Jenkinsfile in Multi Branch Pipeline:
In Bitbucket i created a webhook with my Jenkins-URL, my clone-URL and in the webhook i put the following URL (exact the url in the project of Jenkins):
http://<jenkins>/git/notifyCommit?url=http://<user>#<bitbucket>/scm/<project>/<repo>.git
When i test the trigger the result is the following:
No git jobs using repository: http://<user>#<bitbucket>/scm/<project>/<repo>.git and branches:
Scheduled indexing of <repo>
So it didn't trigger any jobs, but it triggered the multi branch scanning, so my changed branches are build.
