Createing job through CLI

[Mike Craig]

Hello,

I am using the Jenkins CLI to pull down a list of 'template' jobs, search and replace for our release version, then "create" a job using the job XML which I have pulled from Jenkins.

The template job uses "promoted builds" plugin to have CI, "Directed Build", ReleaseCandidate, ReleasetoProduction promotion steps.

However, when I pull down the template job description, do my replace, and perform the Create, I'm not getting the Promoted Builds configuration included in the new job.

I have wrapped all of the Java CLI calls in Powershell, I'd be happy to send out the script if someone would like to look at it.

Otherwise, any ideas how I can get a New Job created and include the Promoted Builds configuration?

Note: To fix this I have manually copied the following folders from the template job to my new job:

promotions\CI-Complete

promotions\DirectedBuild

promotions\QA-Ready

promotions\Release

promotions\ReleaseCandidate

promotions\ReleaseToProduction

promotions\CI-Complete\config.xml

promotions\CI-Complete\nextBuildNumber

promotions\DirectedBuild\config.xml

promotions\DirectedBuild\nextBuildNumber

promotions\QA-Ready\config.xml

promotions\QA-Ready\nextBuildNumber

promotions\Release\config.xml

promotions\Release\nextBuildNumber

promotions\ReleaseCandidate\config.xml

promotions\ReleaseCandidate\nextBuildNumber

promotions\ReleaseToProduction\config.xml

promotions\ReleaseToProduction\nextBuildNumber

I would think the CLI Create command would do all of this.

Thank you.

Mike

copy-job and update-job. Copy-job will copy all promotions. This is what we are doing[1].

Promoted build has a special subfolder, promotions, in the same dir as the config.xml.  In the promotions directory, there is a directory for each promotion name/stage, each with a config.xml.   It's quite possible those subfolders are not being copied over because they're a one-off.

oops, didn't realize I posted on a 3yr old thread.
