Darragh Bailey 64f9af07f3 Support lazy resolving of include yaml tags
To allow filenames referenced by the application specific yaml tags to
contain template job variables, use a lazy loading object that provides
a format method that can be called by the deep_format function.

Instead of processing the file, when a KeyError occurs on attempting to
call format on the filename after the yaml tag, create a LazyLoader
instance to wrap the data and provide a format method that can be called
at a later stage.

In order to call the correct method on the original Loader class,
LazyLoader needs to be given the custom tag class, a reference to the
loader and the node object. Using the tag class it can call the
from_yaml() method with the loader and node object to return the file
contents.

Since the result from the LazyLoader instance is triggered by calling
the format method, there is no need to escape the brackets used by
pythons format method since the output will not be passed through it.

In order to ensure this behaviour, nodes passed to the method handling
the '!include-raw-escape:' tag class, which need to use the LazyLoader
approach will convert to the '!include-raw:' tag class to the
LazyLoader initialization instead.

Due to a bug in sphinx with use of 'note' admonitions and manpage
generation, need to update to a version >= 1.2.1.

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:

Bug report:

Repository:

Cloning:

git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/jenkins-job-builder

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:

Please do not submit GitHub pull requests, they will be automatically closed.

More details on how you can contribute is available on our wiki at:

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.

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
