README ====== Jenkins Job Builder takes simple descriptions of Jenkins_ jobs in YAML_ or JSON_ format and uses them to configure Jenkins. You can keep your job descriptions in human readable text format in a version control system to make changes and auditing easier. It also has a flexible template system, so creating many similarly configured jobs is easy. To install:: $ pip install --user jenkins-job-builder Online documentation: * http://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/ Developers ---------- Bug report: * https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/723 Repository: * https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/jenkins-job-builder Cloning:: git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/jenkins-job-builder Install pre-commit from https://pre-commit.com/#intro in order to run some minimal testing on your commits. A virtual environment is recommended for development. For example, Jenkins Job Builder may be installed from the top level directory:: $ virtualenv .venv $ source .venv/bin/activate $ pip install -r test-requirements.txt -e . Patches are submitted via Gerrit at: * https://review.openstack.org/ Please do not submit GitHub pull requests, they will be automatically closed. Mailing list: * https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jenkins-job-builder IRC: * ``#openstack-jjb`` on Freenode More details on how you can contribute is available on our wiki at: * http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html Writing a patch --------------- We ask that all code submissions be pep8_ and pyflakes_ clean. The easiest way to do that is to run tox_ before submitting code for review in Gerrit. It will run ``pep8`` and ``pyflakes`` in the same manner as the automated test suite that will run on proposed patchsets. When creating new YAML components, please observe the following style conventions: * All YAML identifiers (including component names and arguments) should be lower-case and multiple word identifiers should use hyphens. E.g., "build-trigger". * The Python functions that implement components should have the same name as the YAML keyword, but should use underscores instead of hyphens. E.g., "build_trigger". This consistency will help users avoid simple mistakes when writing YAML, as well as developers when matching YAML components to Python implementation. Unit Tests ---------- Unit tests have been included and are in the ``tests`` folder. Many unit tests samples are included as examples in our documentation to ensure that examples are kept current with existing behaviour. To run the unit tests, execute the command:: tox -e py34,py27 * Note: View ``tox.ini`` to run tests on other versions of Python, generating the documentation and additionally for any special notes on running the test to validate documentation external URLs from behind proxies. Installing without setup.py --------------------------- For YAML support, you will need libyaml_ installed. Mac OS X:: $ brew install libyaml Then install the required python packages using pip_:: $ sudo pip install PyYAML python-jenkins .. _Jenkins: https://jenkins.io/ .. _YAML: http://www.yaml.org/ .. _JSON: http://json.org/ .. _pep8: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8 .. _pyflakes: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyflakes .. _tox: https://testrun.org/tox .. _libyaml: http://pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML .. _pip: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip
