Jenkins job builder (JJB) is an additional application which takes simple descriptions of Jenkins jobs in YAML or JSON format and uses them to configure Jenkins. This project contains Windows and Linux version Jenkins job builder files for running postman collections with Jenkins from this project.

Jenkins and Jenkins job builder

• check python version python --version
  • if python doesn't find install from Python
• check python version pip --version
  • if python doesn't find install
    • curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
    • python python3-pip -y
• install jenkins job builder pip install jenkins-job-builder
• check jenkins job builder in your OS jenkins-jobs
  • if previous command doesn't exist check/refresh in $PATH correct path to python scripts folder [$user.dir]\Python\Python<version>\Scripts
• check Node.js node -v
  • if Node.js doesn't find install version 8.X or 10.X from Node.js
• check Newman newman -v
  • if Newman doesn't find install with Node.js npm install -g newman
• clone repository with JJB files git clone https://github.com/MaryGeraseva/4-jenkins-job-builder.git
• go to folder with windows files version cd [$user.dir]/4-jenkins-job-builder/windows
• start your Jenkins and open personal configuration localhost:8080/me/configure

• add user token

• generate and copy user token

• open configuration file jenkins_jobs.ini in [$user.dir]/4-jenkins-job-builder/windows
  and correct personal authentication data [$user-name] and [$user-token]
• add jobs with JJB from command-line
  jenkins-jobs --conf ./jenkins_jobs.ini update ./jobs.yaml
• check changes in your Jenkins

There is my version of Jenkins docker image.
This image based on the official Jenkins docker image and also includes Node.js, Newman, Python, PIP, VIM, and JJB.
This is a fully completed solution for working with Jenkins, JJB, and Postman collections.
