如何从多个存储库触发詹金斯管道

Question

I am relatively new to jenkins and I am working on a big project that pulls from multiple repo to build. I wrote a declarative pipeline with shell commands that I use that pulls from the required repos and build the project and everything are working but I want to connect this pipeline to all these repos so every time that there is a new commit or merge request, that triggers jenkins and starts this pipeline and then based on the build result I tag the git. I know how to do this for one repo but I don't know how to do it for multiple repo.

Answer 1

If you have multiple repositories which should trigger Jenkins builds, the respective repositories need to have Jenkinsfiles in place.

The key is that every repository should call a JenkinsSharedLibrary, which gives you the possibility to maintain your jenkins builds in one central source, instead of having multiple "hardcoded" jenkinsfiles per repository.

This article describes the use case of a shared library and how to use Jenkins across multiple git repos.

Answer 2

Because of our network infrastructure I couldn't use webhook to trigger jenkins but the solution that I am using now is I created a runner for each repo and I wrote a curl command to trigger jenkins with so each time that there is a new commit to each of those repos the runner starts a new job, executes that curl command and triggers my jenkins job.

This is the curl command that I am using in case someone needed it:

curl -i -X POST --user [JENKINS_USERNAME]:[JENKINS_PASSWORD] 'http://[JENKINS_IP]:[JENKINS_PORT]/job/[JENKINS_JOB_NAME]/build?token=[TOKEN_GENERATED_INSIDE_JENKINS]&cause=[ADDITIONAL_INFORMATION_THAT_YOU_WANT_TO_PRINT]'
