Changing the timer of a pipeline with GoCD API

[Tobias Petrén]

Hi.

I want to edit the timer with GoCD API on a pipeline that has already been created. This is what the structure of the timer looks like according to GoCD API.

I follow this structure for my API call and try to edit the pipelines timer according to the call below.

curl -k "https://localhost:8154/go/api/admin/pipelines/pipeline_name" -H "Accept: application/vnd.go.cd.v10+json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "If-Match: "ca0f7e7a6f033093dbefadaa08f8f4f2"" -X PUT -d "{"group": "pipeline_group_name", "name": "pipeline_name", "timer": {"spec": "0 0 22 ? * MON-FRI", "only_on_changes": true}}"

When I execute this I get the error below. It seems like it does not accept the structure that is on the "spec" object. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Hello Tobias,

The update pipeline config API (https://api.gocd.org/current/#edit-pipeline-config) is a PUT call not a PATCH. Hence, you need to send the complete pipeline config object with the modified timer object for the API to work.

Thanks

Additionally: You're not quoting/escaping your JSON properly. The following are valid, what you have is not:

curl ... -d '{"foo": "bar"}'

or

curl ... -d "{\"foo\": \"bar\"}"
