ScriptTrigger makes it possible to monitor an environment with a script.

Features

The ScriptTrigger plug-in enables you to configure the polling predicate by the evaluation of a script.

Two types of script are supported
* Groovy script
If the expression evaluation returns true, a build is scheduled.
* Shell or Windows Batch script
A script is executed and a build is scheduled if the exit code matches your expected exit code.

For both types, if the script execution output contains the content <cause>YOUR_SCHEDULED_CAUSE</cause>, 'YOUR_SCHEDULED_CAUSE' is used as the build cause.
Additionally, if the script execution output contains the content <description>MY DESCRIPTION</description>, the 'MY DESCRIPTION' value is attached to the run.

Note: The plug-in uses only persistence in memory. There is no impact on the Jenkins infrastructure (no new files created).
This plugin provides a polling typology among the XTrigger Plugin.

Known limitations

Impossible to combine it with EnvInject plugin

Script Trigger plugin enables you to run an external script for knowing if job has to be scheduled, whereas EnvInject enables you to control environment variables when the job runs. Therefore, scripttrigger and EnvInject have 2 disctinct objectives. In conclusion, it is not possible to exploit envinject configuration. Your Script has to be standalone and independent from the job. Export your environment variables directly from your script.
