Quick start¶
Here is an example to create and build job, then monitor progressive output until it’s done.
>>> from api4jenkins import Jenkins
>>> j = Jenkins('http://127.0.0.1:8080/', auth=('admin', 'admin'))
>>> j.version
'2.176.2'
>>> xml = """<?xml version='1.1' encoding='UTF-8'?>
... <project>
... <builders>
... <hudson.tasks.Shell>
... <command>echo $JENKINS_VERSION</command>
... </hudson.tasks.Shell>
... </builders>
... </project>"""
>>> j.create_job('freestylejob', xml)
>>> job = j.get_job('freestylejob')
>>> print(job)
<FreeStyleProject: http://127.0.0.1:8080/job/freestylejob/>
>>> print(job.parent)
<Jenkins: http://127.0.0.1:8080/>
>>> print(job.jenkins)
<Jenkins: http://127.0.0.1:8080/>
>>> import time
>>> item = job.build()
>>> while not item.get_build():
... time.sleep(1)
>>> build = item.get_build()
>>> print(build)
<FreeStyleBuild: http://127.0.0.1:8080/job/freestylejob/1/>
>>> for line in build.progressive_output():
... print(line)
...
