Added a new configuration option under the section "job_builder" named
"allow_empty_variables" that if set to true, will replace non existing variables
in strings with the empty string instead of raising an error.
It's very useful if you have a shell script, that has optional values, for
example:
EXTRA_PACKAGES=({extra-packages})
for package in "${EXTRA_PACKAGES[@]}"; do
install "$package"
done
Or modifying the script behavior with flags, with empty as default value:
WITH_AUTOGEN={with-autogen}
if [[ $WITH_AUTOGEN ]]; then
./autogen.sh
fi
Then if you have two different jobs that use that script in their builder, you
just have to set the extra parameter or ignore it to change the behavior:
- builder:
name: mybuilder
builders:
- shell: !include shell-scripts/myscript.sh
- job-template:
name: 'mytpl-{name}'
...
builders:
- mybuilder
- project:
name: myproj1
with-autogen: true
jobs:
- 'mytpl-{name}'
- project:
name: myproj2
extra-packages: |
extrapkg1
extrapkg2

README
Jenkins Job Builder takes simple descriptions of Jenkins jobs in YAML 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.

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 libyamlThen install the required python packages using pip:
$ sudo pip install PyYAML python-jenkins
