So while waiting for the next blog post, I've tried implementing the same thing myself and I'm a fan of this method! My project repos contain a .jenkins.json file because there didn't seem to be a Yaml parser included with the jenkins groovy. This file specifies the type of job should be run, what kind of pipelines I want to it to trigger, and includes all the variables needed by the respective jobs that are created. I use jenkins-job-builder to define the "seed" job for the project that contains a checkout of both the project repo and a job-dsl repo placed at .jobdsl. This seed job can easily be replaced by another job-dsl job. In this job-dsl repo, I define a bunch of predefined pipelines and job templates which I can import into the groovy dsl script that gets run by the seed job. When the seed job runs, it examines the .jenkins.json, imports the classes from the job-dsl repo, and then generates all the jobs needed for this project inside a Jenkins Cloudbees Folder. Finally, it triggers the "main job" for the project that was generated. This appears to work well at the testing scale. We'll see how it handles everything at a larger scale. I look forward to the next blog post that has more implementation details. -milki -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
