Auto approve or dismiss input from pipeline script

[Raja Chinnam]

Hello

I have a file input that pauses the build. The user may manually upload the file using the file input or make the file available on a network share. I am using the parallel construct to fork two branches - one for the input and one to look for the file on the share. Is there a way I can dismiss or approve the input if a file is found on the share?

I have tried a couple of ways but haven't had any luck so far.

I tried to approve/remove this input:

    input id: '1005', message: 'hello world', ok: 'ok', parameters: [string(defaultValue: 'ans', description: '', name: 'test')]

My first option:

def INPUT_URL = "${currentBuild.getAbsoluteUrl()}input/1005/submit"

def queryString = "name=test&value=ans&proceed=ok"

def conn = INPUT_URL.toURL().openConnection()

conn.setRequestMethod("POST")
conn.doOutput = true
def writer = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.outputStream)
writer.write(queryString)
writer.flush()
writer.close()
conn.connect()

This gives me a 403 forbidden.

My second option:

@NonCPS

def enumActions(){
    def actionsList = currentBuild.rawBuild.getAllActions()
    Action npt = null

    for(Action acn : actionsList){
        if(acn.getUrlName() == 'input') npt = acn

    }
    currentBuild.rawBuild.removeAction(npt)


    //def npta = (org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.support.steps.input.InputAction)npt
   //Is there a way to call approve methods on the above.
}

I have tried several things with this code and they mostly fail with NonSerializable exception.

Thank you

Raja

You'll need a specific script to read that share (a shell/powershell I mean, avoid using Jenkins API in Pipelines) before and handle this, independently of Jenkins (though you could also consider writing a plugin, depending on your use case).

Then if that script finds something, it'll be some simple if().
