convert Jenkins XML to YAML
Project description
Jenkins Job Wrecker
time to get wrecked
Translate Jenkins XML jobs to YAML. The YAML can then be fed into Jenkins Job Builder.
Have a lot of Jenkins jobs that were crafted by hand over the years? This tool allows you to convert your Jenkins jobs to JJB quickly and accurately.
Installing
You can install a released version from PyPI:
pip install jenkins-job-wrecker
Or, if you want to hack on it, install it directly from GitHub:
virtualenv venv . venv/bin/activate git clone https://github.com/ktdreyer/jenkins-job-wrecker.git python setup.py develop
You will now have a jjwrecker utility in your $PATH.
Usage
Let’s say you have an XML definition file for “my-job”. You’ll typically find these .xml files on your Jenkins master, maybe in /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/. Here’s how you convert that job file to YAML:
jjwrecker -f path/to/my-job/config.xml -n 'my-job'
This will write my-job.yml in a directory named “output” in your current working directory. You can then commit my-job.yml into your source control and use JJB to manage the Jenkins job onward.
In addition to operating on static XML files, jjwrecker also supports querying a live Jenkins server dynamically for a given job:
jjwrecker -s http://jenkins.example.com/ -n 'my-job'
It will write output/my-job.yml as above.
To make jjwrecker translate every job on the server, don’t specify any job name:
jjwrecker -s http://jenkins.example.com/
jjwrecker will iterate through all the jobs and create .yml files in output/.
If your Jenkins instance requires a username and password to connect to the remote Jenkins server, you can set these as environment variables, exported before hand or right before running the CLI tool:
JJW_USERNAME=alfredo JJW_PASSWORD=go-tamaulipas jjwrecker -s http://jenkins.ceph.com
If your Jenkins instance is using HTTPS and protected by a custom CA, add the CA’s public cert to your system certificate store:
Fedora: /etc/pki/tls/certs directory,
Ubuntu: /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
After you’ve placed the PEM-formmated file there, run c_reshash in that directory to create the CA certificate hash symlink. jjwrecker uses python-jenkins, which in turn uses six’s urllib, and that library will validate HTTPS connections based on this openssl-hashed directory of certificates.
