A special exception to call out the case receiving an empty response.

exception jenkins.BadHTTPException

A special exception to call out the case of a broken HTTP response.

exception jenkins.TimeoutException

class jenkins.WrappedSession

A wrapper for requests.Session to override ‘verify’ property, ignoring REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE environment variable.

This is a workaround for https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/3829 (will be fixed in requests 3.0.0)

merge_environment_settings(url, proxies, stream, verify, *args, **kwargs)

Check the environment and merge it with some settings.

Return type

dict

class jenkins.Jenkins(url, username=None, password=None, timeout=<object object>)

Create handle to Jenkins instance.

All methods will raise JenkinsException on failure.

Parameters

  • name – Job name, str

get_plugins_info(depth=2)

Get all installed plugins information on this Master.

This method retrieves information about each plugin that is installed on master returning the raw plugin data in a JSON format.

Deprecated since version 0.4.9: Use get_plugins() instead.

Parameters

depth – JSON depth, int

Returns

info on all plugins [dict]

Example:

>>> info = server.get_plugins_info()
>>> print(info)
[{u'backupVersion': None, u'version': u'0.0.4', u'deleted': False,
u'supportsDynamicLoad': u'MAYBE', u'hasUpdate': True,
u'enabled': True, u'pinned': False, u'downgradable': False,
u'dependencies': [], u'url':

u'longName': u'Gearman Plugin', u'active': True, u'shortName':
u'gearman-plugin', u'bundled': False}, ..]
get_plugin_info(name, depth=2)

Get an installed plugin information on this Master.

This method retrieves information about a specific plugin and returns the raw plugin data in a JSON format. The passed in plugin name (short or long) must be an exact match.

Note

Calling this method will query Jenkins fresh for the information for all plugins on each call. If you need to retrieve information for multiple plugins it’s recommended to use get_plugins() instead, which will return a multi key dictionary that can be accessed via either the short or long name of the plugin.

Parameters

  • name – Name (short or long) of plugin, str

  • depth – JSON depth, int

Returns

a specific plugin dict

Example:

>>> info = server.get_plugin_info("Gearman Plugin")
>>> print(info)
{u'backupVersion': None, u'version': u'0.0.4', u'deleted': False,
u'supportsDynamicLoad': u'MAYBE', u'hasUpdate': True,
u'enabled': True, u'pinned': False, u'downgradable': False,
u'dependencies': [], u'url':
u'http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Gearman+Plugin',
u'longName': u'Gearman Plugin', u'active': True, u'shortName':
u'gearman-plugin', u'bundled': False}
get_plugins(depth=2)

Return plugins info using helper class for version comparison

This method retrieves information about all the installed plugins and uses a Plugin helper class to simplify version comparison. Also uses a multi key dict to allow retrieval via either short or long names.

When printing/dumping the data, the version will transparently return a unicode string, which is exactly what was previously returned by the API.

Parameters

depth – JSON depth, int

Returns

info on all plugins [dict]

Example:

>>> j = Jenkins()
>>> info = j.get_plugins()
>>> print(info)
{('gearman-plugin', 'Gearman Plugin'):
  {u'backupVersion': None, u'version': u'0.0.4',
   u'deleted': False, u'supportsDynamicLoad': u'MAYBE',
   u'hasUpdate': True, u'enabled': True, u'pinned': False,
   u'downgradable': False, u'dependencies': [], u'url':
   u'http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Gearman+Plugin',
   u'longName': u'Gearman Plugin', u'active': True, u'shortName':
   u'gearman-plugin', u'bundled': False}, ...}
get_jobs(folder_depth=0, folder_depth_per_request=10, view_name=None)

Get list of jobs.

Each job is a dictionary with ‘name’, ‘url’, ‘color’ and ‘fullname’ keys.

If the view_name parameter is present, the list of jobs will be limited to only those configured in the specified view. In this case, the job dictionary ‘fullname’ key would be equal to the job name.

Parameters

  • folder_depth – Number of levels to search, int. By default 0, which will limit search to toplevel. None disables the limit.

  • folder_depth_per_request – Number of levels to fetch at once, int. See get_all_jobs().

  • view_name – Name of a Jenkins view for which to retrieve jobs, str. By default, the job list is not limited to a specific view.

Returns

list of jobs, [{str: str, str: str, str: str, str: str}]

Example:

>>> jobs = server.get_jobs()
>>> print(jobs)
[{
    u'name': u'all_tests',
    u'url': u'http://your_url.here/job/all_tests/',
    u'color': u'blue',
    u'fullname': u'all_tests'
}]
get_all_jobs(folder_depth=None, folder_depth_per_request=10)

Get list of all jobs recursively to the given folder depth.

Each job is a dictionary with ‘name’, ‘url’, ‘color’ and ‘fullname’ keys.

Parameters

  • folder_depth – Number of levels to search, int. By default None, which will search all levels. 0 limits to toplevel.

  • folder_depth_per_request – Number of levels to fetch at once, int. By default 10, which is usually enough to fetch all jobs using a single request and still easily fits into an HTTP request.

Returns

list of jobs, [ { str: str} ]

Note

On instances with many folders it would not be efficient to fetch each folder separately, hence folder_depth_per_request levels are fetched at once using the tree query parameter:

?tree=jobs[url,color,name,jobs[...,jobs[...,jobs[...,jobs]]]]

If there are more folder levels than the query asks for, Jenkins returns empty 1 objects at the deepest level:

{"name": "folder", "url": "...", "jobs": [{}, {}, ...]}

This makes it possible to detect when additional requests are needed.

1

Actually recent Jenkins includes a _class field everywhere, but it’s missing the requested fields.

quiet_down()

Prepare Jenkins for shutdown.

No new builds will be started allowing running builds to complete prior to shutdown of the server.

wait_for_normal_op(timeout)

Wait for jenkins to enter normal operation mode.

Parameters

timeout – number of seconds to wait, int Note this is not the same as the connection timeout set via __init__ as that controls the socket timeout. Instead this is how long to wait until the status returned.

Returns

True if Jenkins became ready in time, False otherwise.

Setting timeout to be less than the configured connection timeout may result in this waiting for at least the connection timeout length of time before returning. It is recommended that the timeout here should be at least as long as any set connection timeout.
