Start Jenkins build using batch script

Question

I am working with a Jenkins build server to run synthesis/simulation for FPGAs. Right now I have nightly builds and can start the build manually in Jenkins browser interface

Answer 1

I've googled across many addresses and the working result can be found here:

#!/bin/bash
TOKEN='jenkins-user-token'
USER='my-username'
SERVER="http://your.server.address"

#jenkins job parameters
PARAMF=$1
SECONDPARAM=$2

# retrieve the crumb that we need to pass in the header
CRUMBS=$(curl -s -X GET -u $USER:$TOKEN ${SERVER}/crumbIssuer/api/json  | jq -c '. | .crumb ')
curl --user $USER:$TOKEN  -H "Jenkins-Crumb:${CRUMBS}" -X POST  "${SERVER}/view/MyView/job/JobName/buildWithParameters?TOKEN=${TOKEN}&PARAMETERONE=${PARAMF}&PARAMETERTWO=${SECONDPARAM}"

The steps script does:

1. get the breadcrumb
2. call jenkins to execute a job with multiple parameters

you can save this script as jenkins-job-cli.sh and call it

chmod +x jenkins-job-cli.sh
./jenkins-job-cli.sh first-parameter second-parameter

Hope this help.

Cheers,
