How to specify svn credentialsId in pipeline job?

[David Aldrich]

Hi

I have created a simple pipeline job that is intended just to check out a working copy from svn initially.

Here's the script:

node {
echo 'Hello World'

stage('Checkout') {
checkout([$class: 'SubversionSCM',
additionalCredentials: [],
excludedCommitMessages: '',
excludedRegions: '',
excludedRevprop: '',
excludedUsers: 'buildbot',
filterChangelog: false,
ignoreDirPropChanges: false,
includedRegions: '',
locations: [[credentialsId: 'b86bc2b6-994b-4811-ac98-0f35e9a9b114',
depthOption: 'infinity',
ignoreExternalsOption: true,
local: '.',
remote: "<snip>"]],
workspaceUpdater: [$class: 'UpdateUpdater']])
}
}

Is the script valid?

How do I determine the 'credentialsId' ? (I have credentials set up in non-pipeline jobs already).

Best regards

David

Usually the adminstrator of a Jenkins is reponsible to register credentials

with a useful (readable) name. If those admin forget to give a name Jenkins
does it for your which results usually in something like this: "b86bc2b6-994b-4811-ac98-0f35e9a9b114'

Of course you don't wanna have such ID's in your coded pipeline. Consider

you might have running your pipeline on different Jenkins providing the same

credentials (names) your project should be able to build without code changes.

It might be a permission thing that you cannot see the credentials.

Thanks for your reply. I am an admin so I should be able to see everything.  Where should I look for the credentials?

 

All our conventional jobs use the following credential seen on the job configuration page:

 

 

Where should I look for the corresponding credentialId?

When you click top/left on "Jenkins" (navigate to the mainpage) the link to the credentials

should appear on the left side (short before build queue).

Click on the link an a table is shown and there is the columns ID ...
One note: if you forgot to provide a readable name you cannot change it. You have to re-create it then.

Thanks, I see it now. The credential does have a readable name.  Can I assign that name to credentialsId or should it be assigned to a different property?

You assing it to the parameter credentialsId.

Hi Thomas

 

The credentialsId is now working fine for me, thanks for your help.

 

However, my svn checkout involves an external, which is not appearing in the workspace.  I guess I need to specify ‘additional credentials’.  I tried:

 

stage('Checkout') {

    checkout([$class: 'SubversionSCM',

        additionalCredentials: [credentialsId: '086c0d1a-15e7-4cea-9702-7528ac021fab'],

        excludedCommitMessages: '',

        excludedRegions: '',

        excludedRevprop: '',

        excludedUsers: 'buildbot',

        filterChangelog: false,

        ignoreDirPropChanges: false,

        includedRegions: '',

        locations: [[credentialsId: '086c0d1a-15e7-4cea-9702-7528ac021fab',

            depthOption: 'infinity',

            ignoreExternalsOption: true,

            local: '.',

            remote: "https://172.29.68.12/subversion/Leda/trunk/"]],

        workspaceUpdater: [$class: 'UpdateUpdater']])

}

 

But that failed. I think my setting for additionalCredentials is wrong.  Can you help me correct the syntax please?

The snippet generator has solved this for me:

 

additionalCredentials: [[credentialsId: '<snip>', realm: '']],
