stopping a queued build

[Dan Klein]

Hi guys,

I'd like to stop a build which is currently in queue.

based on jenkins REST API, I found this info:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21021905/how-to-stop-a-build-in-jenkins-via-the-rest-api

Now, I'd rather of course use the jenkins_api_client in order to implement this.

I noticed that there are couple that aren't clear to me, mainly with stop_build method:

1.

this function basically does it all. except that it can't handle build which aren't currently building.

the actual method supports it (with build_number input other that 0), but lines 448-450 will terminate as the build is queuing rather then building.

2. how can I get my build number? 

Keeping in mind, that queued build build number is changing in case of prior build cancellation, and therefore nor permanent. 

So, I'm searching for a way to figure out my build_number based on other test parameters.

(to start with, I assigned to each build a unique number as a parameter, to hopefully there's a place with both numbers).

(Object) stop_build(job_name, build_number = 0)

Stops a running build of a job This method will stop the current/most recent build if no build number is specified. The build will be stopped only if it was in 'running' state.

Parameters:

• job_name (String)
• build_number (Number) (defaults to: 0)

# File 'lib/jenkins_api_client/job.rb', line 442 def stop_build(job_name, build_number = 0) build_number = get_current_build_number(job_name) if build_number == 0 raise "No builds for #{job_name}" unless build_number @logger.info "Stopping job '#{job_name}' Build ##{build_number}" # Check and see if the build is running is_building = @client.api_get_request( "/job/#{job_name}/#{build_number}" )["building"] if is_building @client.api_post_request("/job/#{job_name}/#{build_number}/stop") end end

3. last thing. The info found in http://server/queue/api/xml is also accessible via #list method.

and I found there some representations related to "item" path- AKA task_id/ task name

there are plenty of methods that using task_name/ task_id to reveal details on the build (maybe build number?)

But I can't figure out how exactly should I approach and fine out my build task_id/task_name

thanks a lot!
