The Working Hour Plugin provides an interface to set up a schedule of allowable build days and times. Jobs that run outside of configured working hours are held until the next allowable build time. For the first code phase at Google Summer of Code, I’ve been working on Working Hours Project, which needed improvements on usability. Rather than classical Jelly pages, React seems to be...

Some changes have recently been released to give Pipeline authors some new tools to improve Pipeline visualizations in Blue Ocean, in particular to address the highly-voted issue JENKINS-39203, which causes all non-failing stages to be visualized as though they were unstable if the overall build result of the Pipeline was unstable. This issue made it difficult to quickly identify why a build was unstable,...

"Everybody is re-inventing the wheel, partially implementing the "details" of plugin management (signed metadata, artifacts checksums, plugins detached from core,…​). It becomes obvious Jenkins should provide adequate tooling for plugin installation outside a live Jenkins instance." JENKINS-53767 My Google Summer of Code project tries to solve this problem by creating a library that will unify plugin management logic across the different implementations of Jenkins and providing a CLI tool that...

This is one of the Jenkins project in GSoC 2019. We are working on adding support for Multi-branch Pipeline Jobs and Folder Organisation in GitLab. The plan is to create the following plugins: GitLab API Plugin - Wraps GitLab Java APIs. GitLab Branch Source Plugin - Contains two packages: io.jenkins.plugins.gitlabserverconfig - Manages server configuration and web hooks management. Ideally should reside inside another plugin with name GitLab Plugin. In future, this...

I have been working on improving the performance of the Role Strategy Plugin as a part of my Google Summer of Code project. Since there was no existing way to measure performance and do benchmarks on Jenkins Plugins, my work for the first phase of the project was to create a framework for running benchmarks in Jenkins plugins with a Jenkins instance available. To make our job...

We are a little over two months away from the largest Jenkins gathering of the year. From Jenkins users, to maintainers, contributors, mentors and those new to Jenkins this event will have something for everyone. This year’s DevOps World - Jenkins World 2019 San Francisco has moved to a larger venue to facilitate the growth. From August 12 - 15, 2019 the event will...

Two months ago I published an introductory article on the journey of becoming a Jenkins contributor. In that first article, the jenkins.io site was reviewed, learning about the multiple ways in which we can participate and contribute. Then, a first—​basic—​contribution I made to the site repository was described. Now, in this new article we will be exploring more advanced contributions, committing code to the actual Jenkins core. Getting started...

The Audit Log Plugin for Jenkins is an in development project to integrate standardized audit logging trails to various core actions in Jenkins. This project integrates the recently released Apache Log4j Audit library to allow for a vast array of possible audit logging destinations and configuration. We began this plugin not long after Log4j Audit 1.0.0 was released last year by partnering with Outreachy where we...
