New jenkins job doesn't get added to the Dashboard view using Python Jenkins
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Assignee: Jan Niklas Hasse
Components: python-plugin
Created: 2019-07-05 07:11
Environment: Jenkins ver. 2.138.1
Priority: Major Major
Reporter: Vineeth Karkad

Hello there!

We have a requirement where we add the jenkins job for the newly created branch to the Dashboard/Hotfixes view.

The python tool when run for Hotfix branch gets added to the Hotfixes view cleanly. But, when we create a feature branch that has to get added to the Dashboard it doesn't get added.

Note: Here view variable is either Dashboard or Hotfixes
view_path = 'all/job/USM/view/{}'.format(view)
view_cfg = server.get_view_config(view_path)
update_cfg = []
for num, line in enumerate(view_cfg.splitlines(), start=1):
    if line.strip().startswith('</jobNames>'):
        spaces = ' ' * 4
        update_cfg.append(u'{}<string>{}</string>'.format(spaces, branch))
     update_cfg.append(line)
server.reconfig_view(view_path, new_view_cfg)

Here we read the conflig xml of the view we want the job to be added.
Then, we add the new branch before the jobNames end in the config xml file.
Lastly, we update the view using reconfig_view.

Not sure why the new job doesn't get added to the Dashboard view. But works fine when we added it to say Hotfixes view.

Please advise if I am missing something here.

Re: New jenkins job doesn't get added to the Dashboard view using Python Jenkins

Added attachment of all jobs in the Hotfixes view.

This is before adding the new branch KPAIDI_DEVELOPMENT to the view.

Re: New jenkins job doesn't get added to the Dashboard view using Python Jenkins

Before proceeding with adding the new branch to Dashboard, I went about updating the view (Edit view option) and manually unchecked the jenkins job.

Now, I will be re-running the tool to add the same branch to Dashboard view.

Re: New jenkins job doesn't get added to the Dashboard view using Python Jenkins

Displaying Dashboard view after running the tool.

As seen above in the snapshot the Dashboard view doesn't get updated. 

This is where I am puzzled as to what is amiss. Please advise.

Re: New jenkins job doesn't get added to the Dashboard view using Python Jenkins

On checking the config.xml for the Dashboard view, the job shows up in the config.xml. 
But, when we refresh the view the job is not displayed.

I'm no longer using Jenkins. Can someone remove me as the Python plugin maintainer? Thanks.

Hi Vineeth!

I've fonund a workaround. I know, that it's not the solution, but solves your problem, while there is no fix for the bug.

I run a groovy script on the server, that adds the job under the specified view. My code:

view = "MyView"
job = "MyJob" 

try:
            script = "import jenkins.model.Jenkins\nJenkins jenkins = Jenkins.getInstance()\nmyView = hudson.model.Hudson.instance.getView(\"" + view + "\")\nmyView.doAddJobToView(\"" + job + "\")"
            server.run_script(script)
            save = "import jenkins.model.Jenkins\nJenkins jenkins = Jenkins.getInstance()\njenkins.save()"
            server.run_script(save)
except Exception, e:
            print("Cannot add job under the specified view\n" + str(e).decode("utf-8"))
