This script enumerates all projects belonging to a specific view and clones them. This is very handy if you created a new branch and need to setup build automation for it. The script has ample opportunity for improvement, error checking, only a single save etc, but it took me a while to make this work and wanted to share the progress so far. So if you have improvements, feel free to add them :-)
This is what the script does in detail:
- enumerate all projects that belong to a view
- clone each project
- give it a new name
- disable the project
- update the custom workspace
Note: the script assumes that you have a custom workspace declared, which all our projects have. If you don't have that, just take out the part of the code.
import hudson.model.*
def str_view = "MyProduct_Release_1.0"
def str_search = "Rel_1.0"
def str_replace = "Rel_1.1"
def view = Hudson.instance.getView(str_view)
//copy all projects of a view
for(item in view.getItems())
{
//create the new project name
newName = item.getName().replace(str_search, str_replace)
// copy the job, disable and save it
def job = Hudson.instance.copy(item, newName)
job.disabled = true
job.save()
// update the workspace to avoid having two projects point to the same location
AbstractProject project = job
def new_workspace = project.getCustomWorkspace().replace(str_search, str_replace)
project.setCustomWorkspace(new_workspace)
project.save()
println(" $item.name copied as $newName")
}
