Jenkins api create job in a folder

[Glenn V]

Hi,

I'm using the scriptler plugin to write a groovy script using the Jenkins api, that will clone a set of jobs. With jenkins.model.Jenkins.createProjectFromXML(String name, InputStream xml) I can create new jobs just fine, but that only seems to create top level items.

Because I use the "Cloudbees Folder" plugin to structure my jobs I would like to create the new jobs inside an existing folder. Is there a way to do this?

Any help appreciated,

Glenn

Folder#createProjectFromXML(String,InputStream). It's from the ModifiableTopLevelItemGroup interface that both Jenkins and Folder implement.

Daniel,

i'm experiencing the same exact problem with CreateProjectFromXML. Your answer seems to solution this problem. But i can't quite understand the meaning of your answer. Could you be more explicite? 

Thanks

I think Daniel Beck means that instead of calling Jenkins.createProjectFromXML(...), you find the folder you want and then call folder.createProjectFromXML(...)

An option you might like to explore is to use python-jenkins.  We use it to automate folder and job creation.  Doc is here:  https://python-jenkins.readthedocs.org/en/latest/examples.html#example-7-working-with-jenkins-cloudbees-folders
