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:

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
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.
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.
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
