hudson CI: how to delete all jobs?

Question

I have about 100 jobs on my hudson CI, possible to mass delete them ?

Answer 1

You can programmatically use the XML api (or use the JSON flavor if you prefer that):

http://your.hudson.url/api/xml?xpath=//job/name&wrapper=jobs

Returns:

    firstJob
    secondJob
    

Now iterate over the job names and do a post request to

 http://your.hudson.url/job/your.job.name/doDelete

(You can do this with any programming language you like that supports XML and HTTP)
