Jenkins Job Builder takes simple descriptions of Jenkins jobs in YAML or JSON format and uses them to configure Jenkins. You can keep your job descriptions in human readable text format in a version control system to make changes and auditing easier. It also has a flexible template system, so creating many similarly configured jobs is easy.

Jenkins Job builder creates Jenkins XML configuration file from a YAML/JSON definition file and uploads it to Jenkins. JJB provides a convenient test command to allow you to validate the XML before you attempt to upload it to Jenkins.

An example job definition

- job:
    name: job-name
    project-type: freestyle
    defaults: global
    description: 'Do not edit this job through the web!'
    disabled: false
    display-name: 'Fancy job name'
    concurrent: true
    workspace: /srv/build-area/job-name
    quiet-period: 5
    block-downstream: false
    block-upstream: false
    retry-count: 3
    node: NodeLabel1 || NodeLabel2
    logrotate:
      daysToKeep: 3
      numToKeep: 20
      artifactDaysToKeep: -1
      artifactNumToKeep: -1

Once you’ve tested your job definition and are happy with it then you can use the update command to deploy the job to Jenkins.

jenkins-jobs update tests/yamlparser/fixtures/templates002.yaml

It will then appear in the UI of your Jenkins instance and can be run, viewed etc as any other job.
