Take a sample Perforce configuration:
The underlying Jenkins XML representation for this can be found by browsing to the Jenkins project and appending the string '/config.xml' to the URL. For this project, it looks like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<project>
<actions/>
<description></description>
<keepDependencies>false</keepDependencies>
<properties/>
<scm class="org.jenkinsci.plugins.p4.PerforceScm" plugin="p4@1.3.6-ADOBE-SNAPSHOT">
<credential>95f4c776-2e2c-4a58-a41c-0af7e23bad31</credential>
<workspace class="org.jenkinsci.plugins.p4.workspace.ManualWorkspaceImpl">
<charset>none</charset>
<pinHost>false</pinHost>
<name>poje_jenkins_master_test</name>
<spec>
<allwrite>false</allwrite>
<clobber>false</clobber>
<compress>false</compress>
<locked>false</locked>
<modtime>false</modtime>
<rmdir>false</rmdir>
<streamName></streamName>
<line>LOCAL</line>
<view>//sandbox/users/poje/... //poje_jenkins_master_test/...</view>
</spec>
</workspace>
<populate class="org.jenkinsci.plugins.p4.populate.AutoCleanImpl">
<have>true</have>
<force>false</force>
<modtime>false</modtime>
<quiet>true</quiet>
<pin></pin>
<replace>true</replace>
<delete>true</delete>
</populate>
</scm>
Based on the XML, a Jenkins "seed" project can be created to replicate this by using the following groovy code using the Job-DSL-Plugin.
When the project is built, it will create a new project named "auto-created-project" that will contains the same SCM perforce configuration as the original "Dummy Test Project"
import org.apache.commons.lang.SystemUtils
// Start Job creation.
job("auto-created-project") {
concurrentBuild(allowConcurrentBuild = false)
disabled(shouldDisable = true)
label("Win")
logRotator(daysToKeep = 7, numToKeep = 10, artifactDaysToKeep = 7, artifactNumToKeep = 10)
configure { project ->
project.remove(project / scm) // remove the existing 'scm' element
project / scm(class: 'org.jenkinsci.plugins.p4.PerforceScm') {
credential 'fe40e7cf-902b-4de8-ab6a-b7f0cb1a9f6f'
workspace(class :'org.jenkinsci.plugins.p4.workspace.ManualWorkspaceImpl') {
charset 'none'
pinHost 'false'
name 'poje_jenkins_master_test'
spec {
allwrite 'false'
clobber 'false'
compress 'false'
locked 'false'
modtime 'false'
rmdir 'false'
streamName ''
line 'LOCAL'
view '//sandbox/users/poje/... //poje_jenkins_master_test/...'
}
}
populate(class:'org.jenkinsci.plugins.p4.populate.AutoCleanImpl') {
have 'true'
force 'false'
modtime 'false'
quiet 'true'
pin ''
replace 'true'
delete 'true'
}
}
}
}
