Translate Jenkins XML jobs to YAML. The YAML can then be fed into Jenkins Job Builder.

Have a lot of Jenkins jobs that were crafted by hand over the years? This tool allows you to convert your Jenkins jobs to JJB quickly and accurately.

Installing

You can install a released version from PyPI:

pip install jenkins-job-wrecker

Or, if you want to hack on it, install it directly from GitHub:

virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/ktdreyer/jenkins-job-wrecker.git
python setup.py develop

You will now have a jjwrecker utility in your $PATH.

Usage

Let’s say you have an XML definition file for “my-job”. Here’s how you convert that to YAML:

jjwrecker -f path/to/my-job/config.xml -n 'my-job'

This will write my-job.yml in a directory named “output” in your current working directory. You can then commit my-job.yml into your source control and use JJB to manage the Jenkins job onward.

In addition to operating on static XML files, jjwrecker also supports querying a live Jenkins server dynamically for a given job:

jjwrecker -s http://jenkins.example.com/ -n 'my-job'

It will write output/my-job.yml as above.

To make jjwrecker translate every job on the server, don’t specify any job name:

jjwrecker -s http://jenkins.example.com/

jjwrecker will iterate through all the jobs and create .yml files in output/.

It is required to determine a username and password to connect to the remote Jenkins server. These credentials can be set as normal environment variables, exported before hand or right before running the CLI tool:

JJW_USERNAME=alfredo JJW_PASSWORD=go-tamaulipas jjwrecker -s
http://jenkins.ceph.com
