How can I configure plugins from the Script Console

[Rob Oxspring]

Hi,

I'm looking for a little Script Console assistance...  

I keep wanting to use the script console to make uniform changes across a bunch of jobs - but increasingly finding plugin settings are readonly.  For example we're using the ArtifactoryRedeployPublisher and I can read the per job configuration of the ArtifactoryRedeployPublisher but since there's no setter method I'm unable to update them.

What's the best process to reconfigure these things programmatically?

Hi,

IIUC your question, alas, there's no generic answer/way to do that, and I don't think that'll happen some day. So you'll have to do trial & error to be able to do things through the script console.

First have a look at the examples many of us have dumped there: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+Script+Console

Then my advice is: open an IDE, load the Jenkins jars + the plugins you want to tinker with, and use the code browsing feature to dig through the APIs, and so on. 

Not sure there's a better way, but I'd be happy to hear about tips & tricks for it.

And obviously, before that, have a look at the conf slicing plugin!

And after, if you find yourself doing things on a regular basis, consider contributing it to that plugin or another.

My 2 cents

Cheers
