Check Jenkins job status after triggering a build remotely

Question

I have a script to trigger a job on Jenkins remotely using a token. Here is my script:

JENKINS_URL=\'http://jenkins.myserver.com/jenkins\'
JOB_NAME=\'job/uti         


        

Answer 1

I had similar problem to get state with rest api only.
this was my solution (it is a weak and not stable solution!):

#Ex. http://jenkins.com/job/test
JOB_URL="${JENKINS_URL}/job/${JOB_NAME}"

#here you can ask for next build job number
function getNextBuildNr(){
  curl --silent ${JOB_URL}/api/json | grep -Po '"nextBuildNumber":\K\d+'
}    

# this will request the Status of job
function getBuildState(){
  buildNr=$1
  curl --silent ${JOB_URL}/${buildNr}/api/json | grep -Po '"result":\s*"\K\w+'
}

#this will wait for your Job state, by polling Jenkins every second
function waitForJob() {
  buildNr=$1
  state=""

  while [ "${state}" == "" ]
  do
     sleep 1
     state=$(getBuildState ${buildNr})
     echo -n '.'
  done

  echo -e "\n"
}

#now you can run and build
BUILD_NR=$(getNextBuildNr)

# input here your code/function to trigger the job

waitForJob ${BUILD_NR}
BUILD_STATE=$(getBuildState ${BUILD_NR})
echo "$BUILD_STATE"
