Is there a dryrun mode for jenkins-jobs update?

[Tony Chia]

Hi,

Is there a way to get the number of jobs updated/deleted before actually executing the "jenkins-jobs update" command? 

i.e. I would like to see something like 

INFO:jenkins_jobs.cli.subcommand.update:Number of jobs deleted: 141

Maybe a jenkins-jobs plan command similar to a "terraform plan" command would give? 

I tried using the "jenkins-jobs test" command but it just verify the syntax and didn't contact the server to do the diff. 

Thanks,

Tony Chia

Hi, Tony.

There is no such feature in JJB.

We do this by calling `jenkins-jobs test -o <dir>`, then use `jenkins.Jenkins(,,,).get_jobs()` from `python-jenkins` python package API and compare results.
We also check if a job was created using JJB by checking if there is `Managed by Jenkins Job Builder` string in retrieved (using `get_job_config` method from python-jenkins) job description.
