Save all configurations after Jenkins update

[Maciej Jaros]

Hi.

When you save configuration of a Job after Jenkins update there are some
changes made in the config.xml (e.g. plugin version change). Since I
keep a history of all config.xml files in a repository that mess up
history of changes...

So. Is there some script or plugin that can re-save configuration of all
Jobs in a batch?

Maybe something like (?):
for job in jobs
job.save()

Create a new freestyle job, run it @daily, or whatever. Add Groovy
script execution build step, the full script is:

for (item in hudson.model.Hudson.instance.items) {
println("Saving " + item);
item.save();

Thanks, works great :-). I've just run it through Script Console.

Maybe the below plugin might help you:

I've used JobConfigHistoryPlugin in the past. I find just using git is
easier and fits better with our existing tools, etc.

What about https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/SCM+Sync+configuration+plugin ?

[jieryn]

Looks interesting! I haven't tried it.

It doesn't appear to work with external changes coming into the
configuration from outside the Jenkins server. (git pull)

So we'd have to make up our own minds about when to do that anyway,
this plugin porcelain doesn't seem to buy much.
