Iterate trough all jobs and trigger one by name

[Daniel Anechitoaie]

I'm working on implementing a webhook for a plugin that should receive as param the name of the job it should trigger and some arguments for that job.

How can I iterate trough all the jobs in Jenkins from within a class implementing UnprotectedRootAction and how can I trigger a specific job by passing a param?

Basically I need to pass the commit that will be then used by git plugin to make a build from that specific commit.

The `git` plugin already has such a hook. If for some reason you
cannot reuse it, study its code.

In general what you describe is a security risk. Your webhook needs to
demand some kind of proof that the caller is indeed authorized to
build that job, in that commit, with those parameters.

I found how to iterate trough all the jobs "for (Job job : Jenkins.get().allItems(Job.class)) {" but I'm still having trouble how to trigger a job.

I'm trying to implement a GitHub App for the new GitHub PR checks API, so I will add security checks to make sure the requests are coming from a trusted source.

Use `ParameterizedJob` methods.

Thank you. I'll look into this.
