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.
You can install a released version from PyPI:
pip install jenkins-job-wreckerOr, 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 developYou will now have a jjwrecker utility in your $PATH.
Let's say you have an XML definition file for "my-job". Here's how you convert that 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/.
It is required to determine a username and password to connect to the remote Jenkins server. These credentials can be set as normal environment variables, exported before hand or right before running the CLI tool:
JJW_USERNAME=alfredo JJW_PASSWORD=go-tamaulipas jjwrecker -s
