"keep this build forever" via rest api?

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

What url would I hit to make sure a build of a job is marked as "keep
forever"?

Hello Chris.

The /toggleLogKeep URL in the job can do that.

For example:

http://[url]/job/[JOB-NAME]/20/toggleLogKeep

This URL will change the lock status of the build 20.

There's an interesting thing that you can use too: you can list all the keep forever builds by using this URL:

http://[url]/api/xml?depth=2&xpath=/hudson/job/build[keepLog=%22true%22]/url&wrapper=forever

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Bruno Candido Volpato da Cunha

Thanks for this, it's almost what I want.

The problem with the above is that I need to check what state the build
is in before calling toggle.

Is there any way, through the REST api, that I can *ensure* the build is
kept forever?

cheers,

Hello Team,

Thanks for the inputs.

I get gone with toggleLogKeep in My old Jenkins ver. 2.190.1 

Now upgraded to Jenkins 2.332.3

Stopped now with ERROR 403 No valid crumb was included in the request

what could be the issue ?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

LnT

If you were using username/pw to access the REST API in your old Jenkins, you might need to switch to username/api-token now. Or, even simpler, switch to the built-in SSH server:

% ssh -p 2222 -i path/to/keyfile user@jenkins-host help keep-build
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar keep-build NAME BUILD#
Mark the build to keep the build forever.
 NAME   : Item name
 BUILD# : Build number

HTH...
