Trigger a Jenkins Build with UI from Jira

Question

Hello everybody,

I am trying to trigger a Jenkins build from Jira. I have a UI element (Trigger Jenkins Build button) in my Test Plan in Jira. I followed each step in the following link Script Runner. When I click the button, nothing happens but when I used the link

https://${jenkinsHostPort}/job/${jobName}/buildWithParameters?token=${token}&TESTPLAN=$issueId" then I can see a new Jenkins build. I expected the same behavior when I click the button.

In groovy Script (trigger_jenkins_build_restapi_endpoint.groovy), I changed https to http, rest of the code is same.

Advance thanks for your help.

Hey all, (my first ever community contribution here :p ) I searched and searched for a solution for this and only ever found bits and pieces I could use. I ended up coming up with the following http Builder solution. The goal was to define some current issue parameters, and then take those parameters and pass them into the jenkins build. I'm now successfully triggering builds with parameters in jenkins by this http builder script using scriptrunner for JIRA. Really hope this helps, I've thoroughly enjoyed this solution now that it's finished. Note ** if you do not have explicit networking connectivity in place from your jira instance to your jenkins instance you will be banging your head for wasted hours attempting to get a http post to hit jenkins. I didn't realize that both servers behind our firewall still needed some explicit routes defined at the networking level to allow these machines to communicate. If you're getting time outs / or host's "not resolving" errors it's either the DNS isn't able to resolve (devops / infra team can help) or it's a networking routing issue (devops /infra team can help) Also Note** I've removed my jenkins auth key & login from, and the endpoints for privacy.
