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.
The module is not yet on pypi, so just install it directly from GitHub:
virtualenv venv
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
