Jenkins pipelines are stored in repo and we will use them in Jenkins.
Is there a way to save freestyle jobs in the repo in automated way.
Unfortunately there is no way to store the definition of a Free-Style job in a file format, which can be imported like a Jenkinsfile.

I want to trigger a Jenkins build from Artifactory:
https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Jenkins+Artifactory+Plug-in#JenkinsArtifactoryPlug-in-TriggeringBuilds
So it looks like it only works with freestyle non-multibranch jobs? It's going to be kicked off by Artifactory.
I already have a shared library repo with a lot of shared functions and stuff. How can I use that code in a freestyle job? I don't want to manage this job's code in a different place.
I would be nice if I could have a freestyle job execute code from the vars folder of my shared library.
You can build a free style job that trigger a pipeline job or a number of jobs:
And in the pipeline you can use shared library functions as well.
I have mutibranch job in jenkins. Is there any way i can do the multibranch job configurations in a Jenkinsfile? like branchsource , behaviours etc in multibranch job i want to store as a code
Short answer is NO.
But if you still want it, you can store job xml configuration in Git, and then update job through Jenkins API using a local script or even another Jenkins job. Don't recommend though.
We have hundreds of repositories in Bitbucket and we want to create a multibranch pipeline in Jenkins for each of these repositories.
We are trying to use a Freestyle project to automatically generate the multibranch pipelines.
We are using Generic Webhook Trigger in Jenkins to launch a Freestyle project. We get from the webhook payload the name of the repository using a JSONPath expression, and it is stored in a variable, but it seems that the variable cannot be resolved as the argument of the job name (Please refer to the attached picture)
Error:
...
Contributing variables:
REPOSITORY_NAME = my-repo-name
Processing provided DSL script
ERROR: (script, line 1) No such property: $REPOSITORY_NAME for class: script
Finished: FAILURE
Does anybody actually have this working? Or any other ways to solve this problem?
Please use BitBucket Source Plugin.
Bitbucket source plugin helps in setting up the pipeline jobs automatically given the organization name. It scans for Jenkinsfile in repositories under the given organization and creates the jenkins job for that. We dont have to configure anything manually in the Jenkins UI, everything is done through the script (pipeline as code).
When I build a multibranch pipeline job using BlueOcean it looks into my repository and reads all of my Jenkinsfile for each branch. to initiates multiple build, but I only want to be able to build a job based on a certain branch. Is there a way to only build blueocean?
Thanks
I sounds like your job is a Multibranch Pipeline.
If you create a job that is just a Pipeline (rather than Multibranch Pipeline), you can specify a single specific branch to build.
I have a multibranch pipeline in Jenkins and need to pass the archive from the pipeline to a job it builds. The copy artifact plugin doesnt seem to support multibranch pipelines. It deletes my source project every time I save. Is there another plugin I can use to get the archive to get passed to the job? Or is there something I need to do to get this plugin working with multibranch pipeline?

Copy Artifact does not care about multibranch. From its perspective, a branch project is simply a job that is in some folder. And it does support folders. You just need to use the correct syntax for the source job. Last I remember, it supports either relative (e.g., ../multibranch/master) or absolute (e.g., /organization/repo/master).
