Jenkins Job DSL Issue - jenkins

Question

I have created the following groovy script to create a sample job in Jenkins.
import hudson.model.*
import hudson.node_monitors.*
import hudson.slaves.*
import java.util.concurrent.*
jenkins = Hudson.instance
now=Calendar.instance;
def project_name = 'ARCHIE_DSL_TEST'
println("The build is run at ${now.time}");
freeStyleJob(project_name) {
disabled(false)
logRotator(-1, 10)
description("Our first DSL Generated ServerSpec Job")
parameters {
choiceParam("SERVER_FQDN", ["server1.test.com.au", "server2.test.com.au", "server3.test.com.au", "server4.test.com.au"])
description 'Select a server from the list to test'
}
scm {
git {
remote {
github("MY_ORG/my_repo", 'ssh', 'github.aus.mydomain.com')
branch("*/master")
}
}
}
triggers {
scm("H/15 * * * *")
}
steps {
}
}
When I create a job in Jenkins to run this DSL, it works fine and create a job called ARCHIE_DSL_TEST.
However what I'd like to do is run this job using curl and I've been running the following command.
/usr/bin/curl -k --user 'archie' --data-urlencode "script=$(</var/lib/jenkins/jobs/archie_test/workspace/create_tab.groovy)" https://localhost:8080/scriptText
However then it gives me an exception.
The build is run at Wed Jan 27 16:54:20 AEDT 2016

What am I doing wrong here?
Many thanks.

Answer 1

You can use the REST API Runner from the Job DSL Gradle Example to create or update jobs through the Jenkins REST API.

Answer 2

The most straight-forward way to do what you want is:
Create a Jenkins job with "Process Job DSL" build step that loads your create_tabs.groovy from SCM
Enable the "Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from scripts)" build triggers option in the job
Trigger that job through curl, e.g. curl http://someserver/job/dsl_job/build
