Role Name

Creates and loads basic regex-based view configurations to a Jenkins server.

Covers only the following at the moment:

List Views
Nested Views (with the Nested Views plugin)

This is pretty much a task-oriented role right now that exists to avoid having to do a lot of manual work managing views in our own CI.

Requirements

Jenkins on the server to load the views to
a Jenkins username/password that can administer views

Role Variables

See defaults/main.yml for what's configurable.

In the current state, you'll likely want to prompt for jenkins_user and jenkins_password as part of the playbook (see example playbook below).

Dependencies

The Jenkins server must have the Nested Views plugin installed if you wish to use Nested Views.
