I have multiple repositories which require a cd pipeline and all the repositories have their own jenkinsfile with same name. I have configured one jenkins pipeline for all the repositories by adding multiple repositories in "pipeline script from SCM" section.
When any of the repository is updated the pipeline triggers but it uses jenkinsfile of the first repository mentioned in the list of repos.
Is their anyway we can change this behaviour and make the Jenkins job run Jenkinsfile from a repository which triggered the build.
This can be done by shared library https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/shared-libraries/
https://www.tutorialworks.com/jenkins-shared-library/
You can define various logic and functions to manage multiple repositories and their variables.
Also, try to make generic script which can behave based on the supplied parameters.
I'm trying to set up a scenario where a pull request is created on github that triggers a Jenkins multibranch pipeline, and where that multibranch pipeline uses the Generic Webhook Plugin to extract values from the POST request sent from github to jenkins to be used in the script.
Unfortunately, as described on the Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin wiki:
Note: When configuring from pipeline, that pipeline needs to run once, to apply the plugin trigger config, and after that this plugin will be able to trigger the job. This is how Jenkins works, not something implemented in this plugin. You can avoid this by using Job DSL and have Job DSL create pipeline jobs with the plugin configured in that DSL.
This would be OK using a normal pipeline since it would just be a one off on creation of the Jenkins job. The problem however is that a multibranch pipeline will create a new job whenever a new branch/PR is created, and that means that for each pull request I create on github (which triggers my multibranch pipeline script), I have to then run it twice to get the generic webhook functionality working. Having to resubmit for each PR would be tedious for long-run projects.
It seems to me like there are two possible approaches to solving/improving on this problem. One is to try and play around with DSL Jobs (as suggested by the wiki); but I tried this and couldn't get it to work (it was adding a huge amount of complexity to the set up, so I've abandoned it for now).
The second possible solution is as follows: when a PR is created in github, the Generic Webhook will cause a new job to be created in the multibranch pipeline corresponding to that PR; the first time the multibranch pipeline runs the first build of this newly created job will fail for the reason given in the quote above; but then a solution might involve testing that the first job failed and somehow telling Jenkins to try rebuilding for that job again.
So my question relates to this second approach: how can I most neatly run a rebuild for this multibranch pipeline upon the creation of a PR on github?
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated!
For triggering multibranch pipline by webhook you can use this plugin:
"Multibranch Scan Webhook Trigger"
https://plugins.jenkins.io/multibranch-scan-webhook-trigger/
Actually that is not true for multibranch pipelines. Just ordinary pipelines needs to run twice.
I updated the docs like:
When configuring from pipeline (not multibranch pipeline)...
If use a multibranch pipeline in Jenkins, I want to have a build for every specific branch that is made inside my code repo. This works like a charm. But I don't want to provide a Jenkinsfile inside my code repo. Instead I want to define a different CI repo which is providing my CI pipeline scripts.
The problem is that the usual config is not containing the scm option like in the normal config.
Normal pipeline config:
Multibranch pipeline config:
Can somebody tell me how to separate the Jenkinsfile from my source code using a multibranch pipeline?
Just in case someone stunmles over the same problem,
there is a Jenkins plug-in which brings remote Jenkinsfiles for mutlibranch pipleines: https://plugins.jenkins.io/remote-file/
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?
The copy artifact plugin doesnt seem to support multibranch pipelines.
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).
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.
