jenkins_script – Executes a groovy script in the jenkins instance
New in version 2.3.
Synopsis
- The
jenkins_scriptmodule takes a script plus a dict of values to use within the script and returns the result of the script being run.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| args - | A dict of key-value pairs used in formatting the script using string.Template (see https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#template-strings). | |
| password - | The password to connect to the jenkins server with. | |
| script - / required | The groovy script to be executed. This gets passed as a string Template if args is defined. | |
| timeout - added in 2.4 | Default: 10 | The request timeout in seconds |
| url - | Default: "http://localhost:8080" | The jenkins server to execute the script against. The default is a local jenkins instance that is not being proxied through a webserver. |
| user - | The username to connect to the jenkins server with. | |
| validate_certs boolean |
| If set to no, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to no used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates as it avoids verifying the source site. |
Notes
Note
- Since the script can do anything this does not report on changes. Knowing the script is being run it’s important to set changed_when for the ansible output to be clear on any alterations made.
