How to approve script snippets from a jenkinsfile via the groovy script console?

Question

In my jenkins pipeline file I use the JsonSlurperClassic to read build configurations from a .json file. This however introduces code that needs to be approved over the in-process Script Approval page. This works fine when I do it over the GUI.

However I also have a script that automatically sets up my jenkins machine which should create a ready-to-work machine that does not require further GUI operations. This script already uses the jenkins script console to approve slave start-up commands. The groovy code that is executed in the script console to do this looks like this.

def language = 'system-command';
def scriptSnippet = 'ssh me@slavemachine java -jar ~/bin/slave.jar';

def scriptApproval = Jenkins.instance.getExtensionList(
    'org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.scripts.ScriptApproval')[0];
def scriptHash = scriptApproval.hash(scriptSnippet, language);
scriptApproval.approveScript(scriptHash);

This works fine, but now I want to use the same code to approve the script snippets that come from my pipeline. I exchanged the first two lines with

def language = 'groovy'
def scriptSnippet = 'new groovy.json.JsonSlurperClassic';

where the scriptSnippet is taken from the scriptApproval.xml file. Executing this adds a new <approvedScriptHashes> entry to the scriptApproval.xml file but does not remove the <pendingSignature> entry that contains the script snippet. This means it does not work.

My guess is, that the language is wrong, but other values I tried like groovy-sh or system-commands did not work either. Do you have any ideas why it does not work?

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

You can use ScriptApproval#approveSignature method. Here is an example that works on my Jenkins 2.85

def signature = 'new groovy.json.JsonSlurperClassic'
org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.scripts.ScriptApproval.get().approveSignature(signature)

Answer 2

import org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.scripts.*
toApprove = ScriptApproval.get().getPendingScripts().collect()
toApprove.each {pending -> ScriptApproval.get().approveScript(pending.getHash())}
