"build_job() got an unexpected keyword argument" Error when jenkins jobs triggered through jenkins API

Question

def runjob(joblist): server = Jenkins('http://localhost:8080', username='',password='' ) for x in joblist: server.build_job(name=x,token="NRT") This used to run and trigger the job but started throwing this error now, I have unistalled py2.7 might this be the cause?

Answer 1

Solved it, there is a jenkins package and jenkinsapi package in python.

Both of them has .build_job() method but jenkinsapi doesnt allow to pass it in the above format. It was running as should when I removed the jenkinsapi import and added a jenkins. after the = in the code.
