jestas v1.3.0

jestas

Show Jenkins build statuses from the command line.

• Requires Node 4.0 or newer, with npm 3.
• Supports Jenkins 1.4 & 2.0.

Installation: npm install -g jestas

Usage

Run jestas, either with a configuration file (see Configuration) or by passing the options manually.

See jestas --help for options.

Examples:

• Run with a jestas.json present in one of the parent directories:

  jestas

• Specify a configuration file:

  jestas --config myConfig.json

• Pass Jenkins server URL manually (if everyone has read access):

  jestas --server https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com

• Pass server URL, username and API token (for authenticated use):

  jestas --server http://my.jenkins.url --user clarence-oveur --token foo123xyz

• Allow Jenkins server with a self-signed certificate:

  jestas --server https://my.jenkins.url --trust

Output

By default, the status of all build jobs is listed.

Giving a job name as a parameter will display the latest (possibly partial) build log:

$ jestas nodejs-v0.10-windows
busy  nodejs-v0.10-windows

Fuzzy filtering

You can provide fuzzy search terms to filter the results, for example jestas node win would list builds whose name include the words "node" and "win", in that order. It might match nodejs-v0.10-windows and nodejs-v0.12-windows, but not nodejs-v0.10-osx.

Configuration

A configuration file jestas.json will be picked up at any of the parents of the current directory (or itself). There is a sample jestas.json.example((https://github.com/mieky/jestas/blob/master/jestas.json.example) provided for convenience.

Tip: You can set any of the parameters as command-line arguments, including the config file location.

A simple, unauthenticated (where everyone has read access on the Jenkins host) configuration looks like this:

{
    "server": "https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com"
}

Where server specifies the root URL of the Jenkins installation you want to query.

For authenticated requests, you must supply the user and token parameters:

• user is your Jenkins username,
• token is your personal API token. Get it by visiting http://<server_url>/me/configure on your Jenkins host

{
    "server": "http://my-private-jenkins-instance.org",
    "user": "clarence-oveur",
    "token": "c83d6c69f05ffab983ab0dc2d26656ed"
}

Self-signed certificates

Jenkins installations running over HTTPS with self-signed certificates are distrusted by default. To allow communicating with these hosts, you can add the trust option.

{
    "trust": true
}

Changelog

• 1.3.0 Add trust option for allowing self-signed certificates
• 1.2.0 Add support for Node 4 (still requires npm3, though)
• 1.1.0 Add support for command-line arguments.
• 1.0.0 Add support for authenticated requests, require Node 6.0.
  • Breaking changes: updated configuration syntax to have server, user and token
• 0.2.0 Fetch most recent build log when search yields exactly one match.
• 0.1.1 Fix installation to work without a global Babel (duh!)
• 0.1.0 Support for the rest of Jenkins build statuses.
• 0.0.1 First release with only pass/fail statuses.
