Moving a job to a Folder

[Daniel Laird]

All,

I amusing the cloudbees plugin that creates folders.

I am now trying to move some jobs that are currently in a 'view' into a folder.

I can easily query and list all the jobs in a view in groovy but I am struggling to move the job into a folder.

I have tried various methods - if anyone has some example of doing this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dan.

It's simple. On the Job, on the Left side, you see this option =>

 Move

Click on that, and select the directory in which you would like to move the job. This will also update references to the job, and copy the whole workspace and configuration history, so nothing will get lost.

Any ideas on how to move more than one job at a time into a folder?

You could use a groovy script. Other than that you are SOoL

For CloudBees Jenkins Platform I have just implemented move/copy functionality for use within/between masters, and that functionality comes with Jenkins CLI support so you could use shell scripting with that *if you are a CloudBees customer*. (Still going through QA and documentation before we can release it though... Should be out next week with any luck)

I believe we have a Jenkins CLI command already in the folders plugin... If we don't then that's something that's in our OSS backlog (ie I cannot remember if we did it already or not!)

Thanks...not interested in commercials for that product.  I'm interested in what the open source community has to say. 

Will all people asking questions going forward be spammed with plugs for that product?

What I said:

1. You can use a groovy script right now. Will do exactly what you need. Some research required.

2. Oh look some synchronicity, I happen to have just been working on some stuff that would do this for a bigger set of problems... Sadly the stuff I was working on is for our paid product

3. The OSS should have a CLI command too... I think it does, but if I am wrong, adding a CLI command for the OSS plugin is something on our backlog, so we will get to it.

I mentioned #2 not as a plug but more as a "oh, if you did happen to also be one of our customers"... Apologies if it read differently.

No worries, it may have been less than entirely clear due to being composed on a phone

 

 as well as the purpose of this board.

To be clear, this mailing list is not here to advertise CloudBees products... We have a marketing department who are paid to advertise our products.

My intent in mentioning was to point out that I am currently intimately aware of the move functionality available in Jenkins OSS having just completed a new feature integrating with it (but sadly that feature is not one I can share with OSS)... Though we do have stories to push what we can push back to OSS

We use this Groovy script to move jobs to folders, maybe you can use it as a starting point for your needs:

###############################
def FOLDER_NAME = 'Destination folder'
def JOB_REGEX = 'Regex to match your jobs'

import jenkins.*
import jenkins.model.*
import hudson.*
import hudson.model.*

jenkins = Jenkins.instance

def folder = jenkins.getItemByFullName(FOLDER_NAME)
if (folder == null) {
  println "ERROR: Folder '$FOLDER_NAME' not found"
  return
}

jenkins.items.grep { it.name =~ "${JOB_REGEX}" }.each { job ->
  println "Moving '$job.name' to '$folder.name'"
  Items.move(job, folder)
}
###############################

We are working to add cloudbees folder support to the python-jenkins package (https://python-jenkins.readthedocs.org/en/latest/)  that will allow you to automate management (create/update/move/etc..) of folders.   The change is under review right now (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/180185/) and is very close to being approved.  Hopefully it will get in sometime next week.  python-jenkins is open sourced, so use as you wish, would just love more contributions to make it better :)

Hi Daniel,

could you please let me know exactly how to create a jenkins folder job using groovy script.

Regards,

Naresh.

[Sverre Moe]

import com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.Folder

def jenkinsInstance = jenkins.model.Jenkins.getInstance()

def newProject = jenkinsInstance.createProject(Folder.class, "my-folder-project")

[kumar naresh]

Hi Sverre Moe,

thanks that works really good.

I'm actually trying to add build step to execute shell existing jenkins job using groovy script, let me know if there any steps to do so.

Regareds,

kumar.

[Sverre Moe]

Try the Groovy Postbuild Plugin

You could also use the build step "Execute system Groovy script"

Hi,

I am trying to add users to a folder group in Jenkins. Can anyone let me know how to accomplish this via groovy script.

1. List the folder

2. List the groups in the folder

3. Add user to the folder group.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance. 

Muthu

[Victor Martinez]

I guess, this is something outside of what this particular topic was about. Maybe it's worth raising this question in another new thread?

[Muthu Kumaran]

Sure Victor,

you can put this in a separate thread. I was expecting a solution for this issue. Even any relevant articles would be good.
