Pipeline script for Build Trigger

[John Chandra]

Hi All,

Is there any way to configure a build trigger using pipeline script in Jenkinsfile? We still want to trigger the build when a change is pushed to GitHub. Is that still possible using Jenkinsfile in Jenkins 2.0? I've been searching around but I couldn't find a way to get this done.

Did you try doing this:

I think https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-34005 is what you are looking for.

Hi Craig, thanks for your response. That is not exactly what I was looking for. When we create a pipeline, there are some options available for Build Triggers. The problem is I can't find a way to set the trigger I need through Pipeline script like the way I set the Job Properties (e.g. This project is parameterized, etc). If I can do this, then I can put the commands in a Jenkinsfile on GitHub and let the GitHub organization scan control the build job creation.

Hi Michael, Thanks for your reference. So that means that there is an open issue regarding controlling the build trigger on Jenkins 2.0. Am I correct?

[Michael Kobit]

Based on what I can see on that issue, I believe that is the open issue you should follow.

I see. Thanks, Michael!

I see that the related issue was resolved, but I still don't know how to add "Build when a change is pushed to GitHub" support to my Jenkinsfile.

Can anyone help me please?

I was able to get the branch to enable the trigger by adding the following to my Jenkinsfile:

properties([

    pipelineTriggers([

      [$class: "GitHubPushTrigger"]

    ])

  ])

I then manually executed a Branch Index on the parent job and the resulting PR builds had the trigger on push setting enabled.

Hey,

I want to do the same with automatic time based builds, any hint how I could implement this ? :)

Greetings

Sebastian, here's a snippet of a declarative Jenkinsfile pipeline showing a time-based (cron) trigger:

pipeline {

  triggers {

    // every 30 minutes during 9 hours each night

    cron('H/30 20,21,22,23,0,1,2,3,4 * * *')

  }

  agent { label 'docker' }

  environment {

    GIT_COMMITTER_NAME = 'jenkins'

    GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL = 'jen...@jenkins.io'

  }

  stages {

    stage('setup') {

    .....
