Way to use api rest call with Test-Harness

[maxim.c...@ingeno.ca]

Hey guys, 

       I'm currently writing a gradle plugin that import job/view/folder/pipeline from a job directory to a jenkins instance.

In the plugin i use httpClient, to post/get request that validate if the job exist or create it. I tried my plugin with a local and a cloud instance and it work great, But with the test harness, it looks like the JenkinsRule instance use the same thread than my test and somehow the response from the jenkins jetty instance always give 404.

Do you guys know a way to test restApi based functionality without having to spawn a jenkins docker instance?

Otherwise, a way to have a JenkinsRule Async?

Thanks

Well track down why. Plenty of tests using
`JenkinsRule.createWebClient` successfully.

I will dig in there a bit. I was wondering , if someone had perform that kind of test before.

output from my test:

GET : http://localhost:60768/jenkins/crumbIssuer/api/json 404 [Authorization:Basic YWRtaW46ZDk3MTYwOTZkMzY3YTA3MzI4OWVmNGM4MTFiYjY2MmI=]

manual curl in the console:  

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:60768/jenkins/crumbIssuer/api/json' --user admin:password                                                                                                                                                                                                                 09:06:10

Why is your test asking for the crumb? See the utilities in
`JenkinsRule.WebClient` to add a crumb to a request for you.

The plugin add jobs via the rest api, so in my integration test i want to use the same behaviour but against a jenkins instance, maybe i should use a dockerized jenkins instead

Hold on, you are writing a *Gradle* plugin? Then do not use
`jenkins-test-harness`, this is only for tests of Jenkins plugins.
