Issue
I am trying to create a new job based off of a template in Jenkins using the template plugin but I could not find any example.
Environment
-
CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise > 1.596.1.1
-
Jenkins LTS > 1.596.1
-
Jenkins > 1.600
-
CloudBees Template plugin > 4.16
Resolution
This is a very simple example to create a job from template with a parameter.
import com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.modeling.impl.entity.EntityInstance;
import com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.modeling.impl.entity.EntityModel;
Jenkins j = Jenkins.getInstance()
Item template = j.getItemByFullName('WebSphere/Template_Job_WAS_EAR_Deploy')
ModifiableTopLevelItemGroup folder = j.getItemByFullName('WebSphere')
Job newJob = folder.createProject(template.asDescriptor(), "new-job-name9", true)
if(newJob != null ){
println newJob.getName()
newTemplateInstance = EntityInstance.from(newJob)
newTemplateInstance.setValue('otherAttr','value')
newTemplateInstance.save()
} else {
println 'Could not create template or it do not exists'
}
