[Oleg Nenashev]

All my comments have been addressed.
Of course the proposal will need adjustement during the community bonding
if accepted.
So +1 from me.

Thanks for finalizing it!

Perhaps. Depends on what approach you want the feature to take—adding
a convenience veneer atop the existing Jenkins features, or writing
something with a very different design from scratch.

Not offhand. There are hundreds of issues I follow in the general area
of multibranch, but I have no idea which you would consider important
in this context.

FYI the `pipeline-maven` plugin does some things like this—for Maven
builds only, of course.

Already a standard part of Jenkins branch sources.

There are some RFEs in this area.

Hi Jesse,

I could be wrong but I have the impression that you are saying that this 
GSoC project idea is a bit too shallow on the quantity of code for GSoC. If 
that is the case, do you have recommendations to make it more substantial? 
Maybe some enhancements to the existing PR plugins?

Note that in addition to building the PR, the proposed plugin would have 
some automatic detection of reports like JUnit XML reports, HTML reports, 
summary display reports, etc. I also though about adding a default merge 
before build, a default of having PR builds triggered by the user (rather 
than automatic), some default way to set the build description, etc.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Abhishek,

I have never used the EnvironmentContributor, but it would be one of the 
possibilities. Injecting environment variables is convenient as all 
sub-commands would inherit them (no explicit argument passing required), it 
is an implementation detail which can be decided later.

I suggest that you try the existing functionality (see Jesse's reply), and 
this will help you to write your own project proposal. The existing plugins 
that I think Jesse is referring to are 
https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/multibranch/ and 
https://go.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-documentation/cje-user-guide/index.html#bitbucket.
 
The example projects that seem to go along with these plugins are 
https://github.com/cloudbeers/multibranch-demo and 
https://github.com/cloudbeers/multibranch-demo-lib

Like Oleg said, the project idea description is not a specification, it 
does not have to be followed to the letter.

Which is already a standard part of Jenkins 2, including GitHub and
Bitbucket support. The only thing distinct from the proposal as it
stands is that using the default set of plugins, the jobs are
configured from a `Jenkinsfile` whereas you are proposing some YAML
format—easily handled by an existing pair of extension points in
`workflow-multibranch`. I have discussed this is another thread.

I have been using snakeyaml in a few plugins - and It would probably 
benefit from being in a library plugin rather than pulled in - (but at the 
same time plugin dependency hell and well)

As for Jackson and YAML - I raised 2 JIRAs yesterday for that plugin 
JENKINS-50202  is the 
one for the YAML parser in dataformats and the related JENKINS-50201 
 for using jax-b 
annotations with jackson.

Hi Abhishek,

+1 to what you say. Any comments about the project proposal will be 
appreciated. Actually we expect students to make their own proposals, so do 
not consider the project idea description as a specification.

We just need to get input from YAML file and do things according to that.

According to my experience, I would rather recommend Snake YAML. Actually 
we use FasterXML as well in many plugins... Generally we tend to package 
such libs as API plugins, like this one: 
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jackson2-api-plugin/blob/master/pom.xml . Any 
library can be used.

Best regards,
Oleg

Hello Abhishek,

Thanks for your interest in the Jenkins GSoC projects.

> But then for every pull request administrator of the project needs to create

Yes that is a model that I have seen. But there there is another model which is 
to have a job that handles all the pull requests of a git repo to a given 
branch. For example say there is a git repository called jupiter/juno.git 
(jupiter is the name of the github org or of the bitbucket project). Then the 
pull requests destined to the master branch of the juno git repository could 
have a correspondig job called jupiter/juno/master. There could be other models 
too.

> pull request payloads have all of the above things, so we can extract them 
> from the pull request payload itself.

I did not know this. How do the PR coordinates (source and destination branches 
and repositories) get into the variables of a build if they are not input 
parameters? Does this require the installation of plugins in other systems?

I would suggest that you consider preparing an application with your ideas and 
suggestions in a google doc document.

Best Regards,
Martin d'Anjou

[GSOC 2018] [Student Introduction & query] Simple Pull-Request Job Plugin

[Abhishek Gautam]

Hello Everyone,


I am a 3rd-year Computer Science student from India. I found GSOC project 
Simple Pull-Request Job Plugin very interesting and want to work on it. 


But I have some concerns.


1. In project description, it's been stated as following


"Specifically, this plugin does not create jobs and does not detect 
branches automatically. The users are responsible for creating the jobs 
they need. This type of jobs have to be triggered via the existing methods 
(e.g. an http post to the Jenkins REST API, or via the UI)."


But then for every pull request administrator of the project needs to 
create a job and then trigger a build. I think this will be cumbersome.


Please let me know if I am wrong.


2. In project description, it's been stated that the pull-request job types 
have these input parameters:


   - 
   
   PR Number
   - 
   
   From Repository URL
   - 
   
   From Branch
   - 
   
   Target Repository URL
   - 
   
   Target Branch
   

But I think this should not be the case. I have done some research on 
payload GitHub sends through webhooks, and I found that pull request 
payloads have all of the above things, so we can extract them from the pull 
request payload itself.


I have gone through the code of below two plugins and I think they are 
pretty simple.


https://github.com/jenkinsci/bitbucket-plugin/tree/master/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/jenkins/plugins

and

https://github.com/jenkinsci/generic-webhook-trigger-plugin


We just need to get input from YAML file and do things according to that.

There is a java lib available to parse YAML file:

Tutorial for above lib:

Please let me know what do you think.
