Parameterized build, REST, one parameter with new value rest with default

[Daniel Olausson]

Hi,

I have a job that I would like to trigger via REST where I have one parameter that I want to change every time and the other ones I would like to use the default values for. If I do a POST to /build it just ignores the default values and set them to empty. If I do a post to /buildWithParameters I can't set the new value for the parameter I want, the default values for all parameters are taken.

How can I achieve this? First do a GET to get the default values, and then do a POST to /build with all the parameters even if they are just the default?

Yes, basically you could retrieve the job XML parsing for the parameter definitions storing the default values and

then changing the values you want. Your function could also stop if not all mandatory fields are set.

I wrote my own jenkins controller (cannot publish the moment) but that one is not bad: https://github.com/txels/autojenkins

However one important feature is missing: https://github.com/txels/autojenkins/issues/30 (CSRF protection)

Hi,

Yes that is basically what I did. Queried the ../api/json?tree=... URL. Then parsed the output and then did the post.
