get all the configuration properties from a job ?

[pbarthelemy]

[ok, not really an issue, could be more of a question ; not sure there is a forum for questions - I tried StackOverflow, where I saw a tag for api4jenkins ]

I am trying to build stats on Jenkins jobs. I need to access a few of the job properties, like the URL of the git repo used, as seen in the UI ( here, in Source Code Management \ Git \ Repositories \ Repository URL )

However, I do not understand how to get that property , I am actually getting a small subset of the properties I see in the UI. ( my jobs are all FreeStyleProject )

from api4jenkins import Jenkins
client = Jenkins(JENKINS_BASE_URL, auth=(USERNAME, PASSWORD))
api_jobs = client.get_job('a_folder')
for j in api_jobs :   
   print(j.name) # FreeStyleProject, by the way
   pprint.pprint(j.api_json())
   pprint.pprint(j.configure())

-> no SCM, Git or Bitbucket properties in the returned data

@pbarthelemy there is no API to access the properties of job directly, but you can parse from configuration returned by job.configure() ; eg. git URL is in tag scm

 <scm class="hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM" plugin="[email protected]">
    <configVersion>2</configVersion>
    <userRemoteConfigs>
      <hudson.plugins.git.UserRemoteConfig>
        <url>test-git-url</url>
      </hudson.plugins.git.UserRemoteConfig>
    </userRemoteConfigs>
    <branches>
      <hudson.plugins.git.BranchSpec>
        <name>*/master</name>
      </hudson.plugins.git.BranchSpec>
    </branches>
    <doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations>false</doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations>
    <submoduleCfg class="empty-list"/>
    <extensions/>
  </scm>

with python code:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
print(ET.XML(job.configure()).find('<some xpath>'))
