Synopsis ¶

The jenkins_script module takes a script plus a dict of values to use within the script and returns the result of the script being run.

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
args		A dict of key-value pairs used in formatting the script using string.Template (see https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#template-strings).
password		The password to connect to the jenkins server with.
script required		The groovy script to be executed. This gets passed as a string Template if args is defined.
timeout (added in 2.4)	Default: 10	The request timeout in seconds
url	Default: "http://localhost:8080"	The jenkins server to execute the script against. The default is a local jenkins instance that is not being proxied through a webserver.
user		The username to connect to the jenkins server with.
validate_certs bool	Choices: no yes ←	If set to `no`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates as it avoids verifying the source site.

Notes ¶

Note

Since the script can do anything this does not report on changes. Knowing the script is being run it’s important to set changed_when for the ansible output to be clear on any alterations made.

  jenkins_script:
    script: 'println(Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins)'
    user: admin
    password: admin
