How to get details of Successful Jenkins build in last x days - jenkins

I have a Jenkins pipeline job with name XYZ. There are around 300 builds under XYZ job. I want to write a groovy script that would be used in jenkins to fetch the list of successful Builds in last 7 days.

You should do something like this.
import jenkins.model.*
RunList[] myBuilds = Jenkins.instance.getAllItems()
.findAll{ it instanceof Job && it.getName() == {your job name} }
.collect { it.getBuilds().byTimeStamp({your start date}, {your end date} }
Not sure if syntax is is 100% correct, but you can easily figure out what you want to achieve starting from this https://javadoc.jenkins.io/jenkins/model/Jenkins.html , which is a root model for your jenkins instance where you can fetch any possible data you may need.

Jenkins: coordinating multiple pipelines

I am developing software for an embedded device. The steps involved in building and verifying it all are complicated: creating the build environment (via containers), building the actual SD card image, running unit tests, automated tests on target hardware, license compliance checks and so on - details aren't important here.
Currently I have this in one long declarative Jenkinsfile as a multibranch-pipeline (for all intents and purpose here, we're doing gitflow). In doing this I've hit a limit on the size of a Jenkinsfile (https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-37984) and can't actually get all the stages in that I want to.
It's too big so i need to cut this massive pipeline up. I broke this all up in little pipeline jobs with parameters to pass data/context between each part of the pipeline and came up with something like this:
I've colour-coded the A and B artifacts as they're used a lot and the lines would make things messy. What this tries to show is an order of running things, where things in a column depend on artifacts created in column to the left.
I'm struggling to discover how to do the "waiting" for multiple upstream jobs (for instance in Job Foxtrot in the diagram) before starting another downstream job that depends on them.
I specifically do not want to turn each column in the diagram into a parallel group of things, because for instance Job Delta might take 2 minutes but Job Charlie take 20 minutes. The exact duration of each job is variable and unpredictable as for some parameter combinations will mean building from scratch and others will cause an existing artifact to be output.
I think I need something like the join plugin (https://plugins.jenkins.io/join/), but for pipeline jobs (join only works on freestyle jobs and is quite aged).
The one approach I've explored is to have a "controller" job (maybe job Alpha in the diagram?) that uses the build step (https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-build-step/_) with the wait parameter set to false to trigger the downstream jobs in correct order, with the correct parameters. It would involve searching Jenkins.instance.getItems() to locate the Runs for the downstream projects, which have an upstream cause that matches the currently executing "controller" job. This involves polling waiting for the job to appear and then polling for the job to complete. This feels like I'm "doing it wrong". Below is the source for this polling approach - be gentle, i'm new to groovy!
Is this polling approach a good way? What problems could I encounter with this approach? Should I be using the ItemListener Jenkins ExtensionPoint and writing a plugin to do this sort of thing in a generic way? Is there another way I've not found?
I feel like I'm not "holding it right" when it comes to the overall pipeline design/architecture here.
Finally after writing this I notice that Jobs India, Juliet and Kilo could be collapsed into a single Job, but I don't think that solve much.
#NonCPS
Integer getTriggeredBuildNumber(String project, String causeJobName, Integer causeBuildNumber) {
//find the job/project first
def job = Jenkins.instance.getAllItems(org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowJob.class).find { job -> job.getFullName() == project }
//find a build for this job that was caused by the current build
def build = job.getBuilds().find { build ->
build.getCauses().findAll{ it.class == hudson.model.Cause.UpstreamCause.class }.find { cause ->
cause.getUpstreamProject() == causeJobName && cause.getUpstreamBuild() == causeBuildNumber
} != null
}
if(build != null) {
return build.getNumber()
} else {
return -1
}
}
#NonCPS
Boolean isBuildComplete(String jobName, Integer buildNumber) {
def job = Jenkins.instance.getAllItems(org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowJob.class).find { job -> job.getFullName() == jobName }
if(job) {
def build = job.getBuildByNumber(buildNumber)
return build.isBuilding() == false && build.getResult() != null
} else {
println "WARNING: job '" + jobName + "' not found."
return false
}
}
We've hit the "Code too large" too many times, but the way to cope with it is to refactor your pipeline to remain deep under the limit. The following may be used:
You can run a combination of scripted and declarative pipeline. So some stages in the beginning and/or in the end may be refactored out.
You can build some of the parallel stages dynamically. This code would not be counted towards the limited code size.
Lastly, the issue mentions transformation variables, and that can help too.
We used the combination of the above and have expanded our pipeline well beyond what it was when we first encountered the issue you're facing.

How to abort Jenkins pipeline build if label is not matched

I have a Jenkinsfile multibranch pipeline script, which runs on two different Jenkins systems. Jenkinsfile relies on a specific label name. In one of the systems, the label based agent is available and in another not (intentionally). In the former it runs fine. In the Jenkins system without the matching label, the job just hangs because it cant find a matching agent.
Is there a way to specify an option to abort (or not start) a build if a label is not found?
Some discussion here:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-35905
Might not be possible anytime soon
If they are calling in to a shared library then you can check for label being online/available and then fail the build
def computers = Jenkins.instance.computers
for(computer in computers){
if(computer.isOnline()){
labelStr = computer.node.getLabelString()
}
if labelStr ~= /user input/
break;
}
System.exit(1); // no label
For a declarative pipeline it may be possible to use when{beforeAgent} to test whether a label exists.
This would only be useful where the agent is specified for a stage rather than the whole pipeline.
...and caveat that this is an as yet untested hypothesis.
Just a workaround, but in order to avoid dependency on shared lib I run the below every X minutes to clean-up culprits from queue:
import hudson.model.*
def q = Jenkins.instance.queue
q.items.each {
if (it =~ /someregex or match all/) {
why = it.getWhy()
if (why =~ /.*There are no nodes with the label.*/) {
println "No node found for $it.task.runId. It's stuck in damn jenkins queue forever and ever. Killing it"
q.cancel(it.task)
}
}
}

Call rest post method from jenkins job

I want to call my rest API from Jenkins after build of job was ended with build status. As example when build was fail I want to send what are the recent changes has done, who start the build etc. I think there might be a specific plugin for doing this but I could not found. My next plane is to customize Jenkins Hipchat plugin to sent massage to my API. But it may difficult. Can anyone suggest me a plugin or method for do this.
The standard environment variables are listed here:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Building+a+software+project
If you need additional parameters you have to query them yourself. I usually do it with groovy, and in you case I guess it would be lastBuild()
Here is an example to check if job has run on master or not:
import hudson.model.*
jenkins = Hudson.instance
items = jenkins.items
Collections.shuffle(items)
for (item in items){
def job = item.getLastBuild()
if(job != null){
if(job.getBuiltOnStr() == null || job.getBuiltOnStr() == "")
println "Built in master: " + job.toString()
}
}
Please check api documentation to determine what information you need: http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/model/AbstractBuild.html
I guess the user is is a build-cause: http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/model/Run.html#getCauses()
But you have to dig around yourself to get the information you need. If this is too much job, and you have everything you need in the hipchat plugin, that might be simpler for you.

Triggering build information available in child job

I have a job in Jenkins called notification_job which uses the "Build after other projects are built" trigger. The list of jobs will be around 25 and continue to grow. The notification_job needs to know the triggering build's name and build number.
I would like all of the configuration to be done through the notification_job, not through the triggering jobs as that list will grow and become a pain to manage. So how can I retrieve the build name and number in the child job?
Jenkins version is 2.19.3
Thank you,
Duke
I was able to pull the data with a groovy script
import hudson.model.Cause
for (cause in build.getCauses()) {
if (cause instanceof Cause.UpstreamCause) {
println cause.getUpstreamProject()
println cause.getUpstreamBuild()
}
}

Notify about / check for SCM poll failure in Jenkins

I would like to check for or get notifications about SCM poll failures in Jenkins (for example, when the repository URL had changed, or branch got deleted). I thought about these:
a) A Jenkins console script, which would list such faulty jobs
b) Configuring/installing plugin for Jenkins to notify me somehow about that fact (e-mail, anything)
c) External script/executable (bash, python, ...), which would list builds which failed in last X hours due to SCM poll failure
As you mentioned in your question, one way to tackle this problem is by using a script. For example, Groovy Postbuild.
Since Groovy Postbuild scripts run on the master, you can access each job's scm-polling.log found on the file system using standard IO functions.
For example, assuming a Windows master, here is some (untested) pseudocode to give you some ideas:
def error = false;
def jobsDirectory = new File("C:\\Jenkins\\jobs");
jobsDirectory.eachFile {
def pollingLog = new File(it.path + "\\scm-polling.log");
if(pollingLog.text =~ "ERROR")
{
manager.listener.logger.println(it.path + " has polling errors.");
error = true;
}
}
if(error) {
manager.build.buildFailure();
}
Once you have marked the build as failure, you can use the standard email functionality of Jenkins to send an email or format it to look nice using the Email-ext plugin.
