Jenkins Python API: get QueueItem by ID

Question

Invoking a job in Jenkins via jenkinsapi returns a jenkinsapi.queue.QueueItem object that represents queued build.

How can I get QueueItem object of an already queued build, given queue_id? I have tried:

j = Jenkins(...)
queue = j.get_queue()
queue_item = queue[queue_id]

But that is valid only for about 6-10 seconds, after that UnknownQueueItem error is raised.

It seems you have to create QueueItem manually:

j = Jenkins(...)
url = j.base_server_url() + "/queue/item/" + str(queue_id) + "/"
queue_item = jenkinsapi.queue.QueueItem(url, j);
