How can i update a jenkins job using the api

Question

I have to create/update a jenkins job using its api because all of my jobs are using parameters which are also used by other scripts and I am trying to centralize the script

Answer 1

You could use python like this:

from jenkinsapi.jenkins import Jenkins
jenkinsSource = 'http://10.52.123.124:8080/'
server = Jenkins(jenkinsSource, username = 'XXXXX', password = 'YYYYY')
myJob=server.get_job("__test")
myConfig=myJob.get_config()
print myConfig
new = myConfig.replace('clean', 'string bean')
myJob.update_config(new)
