Jenkins job ID

[CORNELIA SARBU]

HI,

 I 'm working on a jenkins plugin and I have to create a mapping between a jenkins job and an external file. I have a collection of files, each file associated to one or more jenkins jobs.

 Do you know if a job (not a build) has an unique id ? I'm thinking to use an Id to realize the mapping, and this without specifying it in the job's name.

I was checking the jenkins variables, but I only found BUILD_ID.

Thank you

Cornelia

You could use the unique-id-plugin.

Hi Daniel,

I saw unique -plugin -id requires jenkins core 1.615 . We have an older Jenkins version.

I've created my own plugin to keep this info , by extending JobProperty class. 

But now I have another question related to the field that should be field in position .

right now in the ob configuration page I can see the elements if the Order bellow:

1- Project Name

2- Descripton

3- discard Old builds

4- Block Build if certain jobs are runninc

5- Project Number(ID) - this was added by me

I would like to change a little bit the order , to have Project Number(ID) on the second position, just bellow the Project Name

Thank you !
