I'm using webhooks on Bitbucket to trigger builds on Jenkins when push event occurs, for this purpose I'm using Bitbucket plugin.
My Jenkins pipeline consist of multiple cross depending tasks e.g.:
Main pipeline (triggered task)
1) build docker images
2) run tests
3) do something
The build is triggered when expected but tasks are failing because they rely on specific branch that I need to provide. Unfortunately I don't know how to access the webhook's payload that have all the information I need.
The alternative would be using Poll CMS option in Jenkins but I prefer to build on demand and not periodically.
From:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/BitBucket+Plugin
they say:
Since 1.1.5 Bitbucket automatically injects the payload received by Bitbucket into the build. You can catch the payload to process it accordingly through the environmental variable $BITBUCKET_PAYLOAD.

I'm trying to configure an automated pull-request job triggering in a monorepo concluded from several subdirectories. This means I need to run a specific pipeline per subdirectory, and not run unnecessary ones.
What I have already tried:
Github Pull Request Builder plugin - Which is a great plugin for those who are not running a scripted pipeline, but rather a "Classic" Jenkins project. Also, it is no longer supported and many issues remain unanswered there.
Git SCM Jenkins Plugin - which has a promising feature of includedRegions and excludedRegions, and is supposed to trigger jobs based on a regular expression. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as expected and triggers builds on any changes.
Using the Git changeset that Jenkins receives, perform a Validate stage when build starts, and if none of the changed files starts with the required subdirectory - abort and exit the build. This results in tens of aborted unnecessary builds.
Jenkins Generic Webhook Plugin - This plugin is a simple to use plugin that relies on the json payload it receives in a webhook, and triggers a job based on a defined filter. The problem is that in Github's API, pull request opened/updated events do not include the changed files. So this use case only works with Github's "push" event, but not specifically with PR events.
I want the flow to work this way:
A developer opens a pull request in Github. His/hers changes are related to a subdirectory in a monorepo called APP1/.
Jenkins receives a notification (or a webhook of some sort) and triggers a job that builds and tests APP1.
Jenkins sends the build/test result back to the pull request checks view (I've got this stage covered).
I am new to Jenkins. I have development code repository at bitbucket and another test script code repository at bitbucket. Now I have setup a Jenkins job by linking test code repository. Is there any way to trigger a build when code is pushed in develop repo?
I tried many times by pushing change in develop repo, but it does not triggers the jenkins job.
You can configure the Jenkins trigger as an SCM poll.
You will have to enter a cron expression for the polling time period, like:
*/5 * * * *
This means polling from 5 to 5 minutes. If any change is detected, then the build is triggered.
You can add the BitBucket Plugin to your Jenkins instance. It will allow you to configure a webhook in BitBucket that will then trigger any Jenkins job listening for that webhook. The plugin's page has a detailed breakdown, but the basics are;
In your repo in BitBucket, create a new Webhook using your Jenkins' url. I believe the url is generally http://[your jenkins url]/bitbucket-hook/
Make the trigger a repo push.
In your Jenkins job, check the box "Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket" under the Build Triggers section.
Now any time you commit to the repo you created the Webhook on, that Jenkins job will be run.
You can also limit what branches trigger commits by parameterizing your Jenkins build to ignore certain branches / keywords / etc if that's something you need for your specific project.
You can use webhooks to trigger build automatically. There are few options how to use it. See the following articles: this, this and this.

Builds by source changes
You can have Jenkins poll your Revision Control System for changes. You can specify how often Jenkins polls your revision control system using the same syntax as crontab on Unix/Linux. However, if your polling period is shorter than it takes to poll your revision control system, you may end up with multiple builds for each change. You should either adjust your polling period to be longer than the amount of time it takes to poll your revision control system, or use a post-commit trigger. You can examine the Polling Log for each build to see how long it took to poll your system.
Alternatively, instead of polling on a fixed interval, you can use a URL trigger (described above), but with /polling instead of /build at the end of the URL. This makes Jenkins poll the SCM for changes rather than building immediately. This prevents Jenkins from running a build with no relevant changes for commits affecting modules or branches that are unrelated to the job. When using /polling the job must be configured for polling, but the schedule can be empty.
We are setting up a continuous delivery pipeline in Jenkins, using the build pipeline plugin.
Our deployment steps uses a proprietary deploy tool (triggered by a HTTP request from jenkins), but we need to have an additional Jenkins step for acceptance tests on the then deployed project. So our deploy tool will need to trigger the last pipeline step.
The jenkins setup for this is obvious:
For a Manually Triggered downstream build step: To add a build step
that will wait for a manual trigger:
Select the Build Pipeline Plugin, Manually Execute Downstream Project check-box
Enter the name(s) of the downstream projects in the Downstream
Project Names field. (n.b. Multiple projects can be specified by using comma, like "abc, def".)
Source: Build Pipeline Plugin
The problem is: I can't seem to find a way to trigger this downstream build through a URL.
In fact I'd need the URL in the deploy job, so I can send it to the deploy tool as a callback URL. Can anybody help?
If I understand correctly, you want to use remote access API, which to my knowledge is no different between general project or pipeline one.
Take a look here:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API
Submitting jobs
Jobs without parameters
You merely need to perform an HTTP POST on JENKINS_URL/job/JOBNAME/build?token=TOKEN where TOKEN is set up in the job configuration.
As stated above by #rafal S do
read a file which has list projects name for which build job has to be triggered do a curl HTTP POST on JENKINS_URL/job/${JOBNAME from the file}/build?token=TOKEN within a for loop , where for loop has list of all project names from the file you read
Can Jenkins detect when a new build is available on a Bamboo server?
What I want is to create a Jenkins job that checks a Bamboo server for a new build. I want this job to run once per hour.
Then, other tests that I have on that Jenkins server will rely on that check passing in order for them to kick off.
If this is possible, what is the usual way of doing this? The Bamboo server is internal and does not need authentication to see status of builds or get build resources.
If there is no plugin for this, I do see a RSS feed at this URI: /rss/createAllBuildsRssFeed.action?feedType=rssAll&buildKey=RELEASE . What method would other Jenkins administrators use to read this feed?
I figured out the answer myself. I wrote a Gradle unit test to run in Jenkins that can read the RSS feed in Bamboo.
The real way to do it though, which didn't answer my question, is to add a post-build hook to either Subverison or Bamboo to send a HTTP get request to Jenkins, which notifies a job to run.
