How do I run a Jenkins job where user can enter a date value?

问题

I wanted to run a jenkins job by accepting a date field (in format YYYY-MM-DD) from user. I found a link where user can enter a string parameter:

job('example') {
    parameters {
        stringParam('myParameterName', 'my default stringParam value', 'my description')
    }
}

But in string param user can enter any thing. So how do I force user to enter a date field like a calender field and select date from the calender ?

回答1:

There seems to be no plugin which provides a date chooser.

But you can use the Validating String Parameter Plugin, which can use a regular expression to validate a string parameter. See Regex to validate date format dd/mm/yyyy for regular expressions matching date values.

The Job DSL plugin has no built-in support for the Validating String Parameter Plugin, but you can use a Configure Block to add the relevant config XML.

job('example') {
  configure { project ->
    project / 'properties' / 'hudson.model.ParametersDefinitionProperty' / parameterDefinitions << 'hudson.plugins.validating__string__parameter.ValidatingStringParameterDefinition' {
      name('DATE')
      description('date in YYYY-MM-DD format')
      defaultValue('2016-03-01')
      regex(/\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d/)
      failedValidationMessage('Enter a YYYY-MM-DD date value!')
    }
  }
}
