Triggers¶

Triggers define what causes a Jenkins job to start building.

Component: triggers

Macro:	trigger
Entry Point:	jenkins_jobs.triggers

Example:

job:
  name: test_job

  triggers:
    - timed: '@daily'

bitbucket¶

Trigger a job when bitbucket repository is pushed to. Requires the Jenkins BitBucket Plugin.

Example:

triggers:
  - bitbucket

build-result¶

Configure jobB to monitor jobA build result. A build is scheduled if there is a new build result that matches your criteria (unstable, failure, ...). Requires the Jenkins BuildResultTrigger Plugin.

Parameters:

groups (list) – List groups of jobs and results to monitor for
jobs (list) – The jobs to monitor (required)
results (list) – Build results to monitor for (default success)

Branch filter type	Description
All	All branches are allowed to trigger this job.
NameBasedFilter	Filter branches by name. List source branches that are allowed to trigger a build from a Push event or a Merge Request event. If both fields are left empty, all branches are allowed to trigger this job. For Merge Request events only the target branch name is filtered out by the include-branches and exclude-branches lists.
RegexBasedFilter	Filter branches by regex The target branch regex allows to limit the execution of this job to certain branches. Any branch matching the specified pattern in target-branch-regex triggers the job. No filtering is performed if the field is left empty.

Example (version < 1.1.26):

triggers:
  - gitlab:
      trigger-push: true

Parameters:	token (str) – the build token expected in the message queue (required)

Example:

triggers:
  - rabbitmq:
      token: 'build_trigger_token'

reverse¶

This trigger can be configured in the UI using the checkbox with the following text: ‘Build after other projects are built’.

Set up a trigger so that when some other projects finish building, a new build is scheduled for this project. This is convenient for running an extensive test after a build is complete, for example.

This configuration complements the “Build other projects” section in the “Post-build Actions” of an upstream project, but is preferable when you want to configure the downstream project.

Parameters:	jobs (str) – List of jobs to watch. Can be either a comma separated list or a list. result (str) – Build results to monitor for between the following options: success, unstable and failure. (default ‘success’).

Example:

triggers:
  - reverse:
        jobs: 'Fantastic-job'
        result: 'failure'

Example List:

triggers:
  - reverse:
        jobs:
            - 'a'
            - 'b'
            - 'c'
        result: 'failure'

Triggers the job using shell or batch script. Requires the Jenkins ScriptTrigger Plugin.

Parameters:

label (str) – Restrict where the polling should run. (default ‘’)
script (str) – A shell or batch script. (default ‘’)
script-file-path (str) – A shell or batch script path. (default ‘’)
cron (str) – cron syntax of when to run (default ‘’)
enable-concurrent (bool) – Enables triggering concurrent builds. (default false)
exit-code (int) – If the exit code of the script execution returns this expected exit code, a build is scheduled. (default 0)

Full Example:

triggers:
  - script:
        script: 'exit 0'
        script-file-path: '$WORKSPACE/scripts'
        cron: 'H/15 * * * *'
        enable-concurrent: true
        label: master
        exit-code: 0
