This commit intentionally introduces a number of important API breakages. Specifically, the jenkins_jobs.cmd module has been pared down to some of its most difficult-to-refactor elements. * Create jenkins_jobs.cli.entry.JenkinsJobs class to organize command line parsing and execution. * Remove references to ConfigParser object in test code, hidden as an implementation detail of JenkinsJobs command line parsing. This will be necessary in the next stage of JJB 2.0 code which will be to create a JJBConfig object that handles logic and presentation of configuration from various sources--defaults, command line arguments, configuration file, and maybe environment variables in the future. * Remove references to Namespace object produced by argparse module. Required rewrite of multipath & recursive path tests with a new MatchesDir testtools Matcher class that validates the expected output for a run of JJB against a given set of yamldirs with the specified command line arguments. * Use stevedore to dynamically load subcommand parsers. * Move configuration loading/testing to its own test file. Also fix the global vs home directory JJB config file test. Change-Id: If62280418ba7319c313033ab387af4284237747e
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

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 .

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
