A Python API for accessing resources on a Jenkins continuous-integration server.
Project description
About this library
Jenkins is the market leading continuous integration system, originally created by Kohsuke Kawaguchi.
Jenkins (and It’s predecessor Hudson) are useful projects for automating common development tasks (e.g. unit-testing, production batches) - but they are somewhat Java-centric. Thankfully the designers have provided an excellent and complete REST interface. This library wraps up that interface as more conventional python objects in order to make many Jenkins oriented tasks easier to automate.
This library allows you to automate most common Jenkins operations using Python.
Ability to add/remove/query Jenkins jobs
- Ability to execute jobs and:
Query the results of a completed build
Block until jobs are complete or run jobs asyncronously
Get objects representing the latest builds of a job
- Work with build artifacts:
Search for artifacts by simple criteria
Install artifacts to custom-specified directory structures
Ability to search for builds by source code revision
- Ability to add/remove/query:
Slaves (Webstart and SSH slaves)
Views (including nested views using NestedViews Jenkins plugin)
Credentials (username/password and ssh key)
Username/password auth support for jenkins instances with auth turned on
Ability to script jenkins installation including plugins
Python versions
The project have been tested and working on Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. It was tested previously on Python 2.6, so it may work on this version too.
Jenkins versions
Project tested on both stable (LTS) and latest Jenkins versions.
Known issues
Job deletion operations fail unless Cross-Site scripting protection is disabled.

Installation
Egg-files for this project are hosted on PyPi. Most Python users should be able to use pip or setuptools to automatically install this project.
Using Pip or Setuptools
Most users can do the following:
pip install jenkinsapiOr:
easy_install jenkinsapiBoth of these techniques can be combined with virtualenv to create an application-specific installation.
Using your operating-system’s package manager
Ubuntu users can now use apt to install this package:
apt-get install python-jenkinsapiBeware that this technique will get a somewhat older version of Jenkinsapi.
Example
JenkinsAPI is intended to map the objects in Jenkins (e.g. Builds, Views, Jobs) into easily managed Python objects:
>>> import jenkinsapi
>>> from jenkinsapi.jenkins import Jenkins
>>> J = Jenkins('http://localhost:8080')
>>> J.version
1.542
>>> J.keys() # Jenkins objects appear to be dict-like, mapping keys (job-names) to
['foo', 'test_jenkinsapi']
>>> J['test_jenkinsapi']
<jenkinsapi.job.Job test_jenkinsapi>
>>> J['test_jenkinsapi'].get_last_good_build()
<jenkinsapi.build.Build test_jenkinsapi #77>
...More examples available on Github: https://github.com/pycontribs/jenkinsapi/tree/master/examples
Testing
If you have installed the test dependencies on your system already, you can run the testsuite with the following command:
python setup.py testOtherwise using a virtualenv is recommended. Setuptools will automatically fetch missing test dependencies:
virtualenv
source .venv/bin/active
(venv) python setup.py testDevelopment
Make sure that you have Java installed.
Create virtual environment for development
Install package in development mode
(venv) pip install -e .
(venv) pip install -r requirements/dev-requirements.txtMake your changes, write tests and check your code
(venv) nosetests -v jenkinsapi_testsProject Contributors
