I have Jenkins pipeline with an Input step, and I would like to submit this input(single string argument) via a script. So far I am trying with curl, ideally I'll be sending it via Python requests library. This should be an easy POST request, however with CSRF it becomes tricky. I've obtained Jenkins-Crumb (using curl in this case, from the same machine and same bash session), but still can't send the content...
I'm sending Jenkins-Crumb:XXX header, just like it is explained at https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API
my request looks like this:
curl -vvv -X POST --user '${USER}:${API_KEY}' -H "Jenkins-Crumb:${JENKINS_CRUMB}" -d 'json="{"parameter":{"name":"${PARAM_NAME}","value":"asd"},"Jenkins-Crumb":"${JENKINS_CRUMB}"}"' 'http://${JENKINS_URL}/job/${JOB_NAME}/${BUILD_NR}/input/'
The URL I'm POSTing at is the same, as the one linked in build log (Console output).
There is an easier way, simply call the proceedEmpty URL for the jobs:
curl -X POST -H "Jenkins-Crumb:${JENKINS_CRUMB}" http://${JENKINS_URL}/job/${JOB_NAME}/${BUILD_ID}/input/${INPUT_ID}/proceedEmpty
There is no need to pass in body data.
To abort, use:
curl -X POST -H "Jenkins-Crumb:${JENKINS_CRUMB}" http://${JENKINS_URL}/job/${JOB_NAME}/${BUILD_ID}/input/${INPUT_ID}/abort
