Jenkins Pipeline job doesn't trigger pipeline job using jenkins cli. When i run jenkins as anaonymous this works, but when i create a user/admin it fails.
I have a job A which has parameters and passes the same to Pipeline Job. This is a Master-slave setup. This is how i run:
sudo java -jar /home/user/jenkins-cli.jar -s $JENKINS_URL build pipeline_job -p parameter_Name="$parameter_Name" -p parameter_Name2="$parameter2_Name"
1.) I tried using options, "-auth" , "-username -password" but doesn't work.
errors: No such command: -auth No such command: -ssh
2.) Another option is paste the public key in SSH section http://jenkin_url/me/configure , but still it fails
error:
java.io.IOException: Invalid PEM structure, '-----BEGIN...' missing
Is there i am missing anything ?
I Found the solution,
1.) used SSH CLI.
In my case i was using master-slave environment, connection was made using SSH keys vice-versa. In order to trigger the build using Jenkins CLI, place the SSH keys both public & private and place them in http://jenkinsURL/user/username/configure
Here username= the one used to connect the nodes.
Trigger the job as below:
java -jar /home/username/jenkins-cli.jar -s $JENKINS_URL -i /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa build JOBNAME
Note: This is one way but cloudbees doesn't encourage this approach.
2.) There is new approach i.e., using API token authentication.
trigger the build as below:
java -jar /home/username/jenkins-cli.jar -s $JENKINS_URL -auth username:apitoken /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa build JOBNAME
Note: For using API token option, download the latest jar file
