Jason Peck added a comment - 2019-05-23 20:09 - edited This is still an issue in 2.3 and 2.4 when invoking a parameterized build from the cli (http or ssh) we still get the following error: jpeck@blitzwing:~/Downloads$ date; java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -noKeyAuth -s https: //<URL> -auth @jenkins_token help build   Thu May 23 13:02:45 PDT 2019 java -jar jenkins-cli.jar build JOB [-c] [-f] [-p] [-r N] [-s] [-v] [-w] Starts a build, and optionally waits for a completion. Aside from general scripting use, this command can be used to invoke another job from within a build of one job. With the -s option, this command changes the exit code based on the outcome of the build (exit code 0 indicates a success) and interrupting the command will interrupt the job. With the -f option, this command changes the exit code based on the outcome of the build (exit code 0 indicates a success) however, unlike -s, interrupting the command will not interrupt the job (exit code 125 indicates the command was interrupted). With the -c option, a build will only run if there has been an SCM change. JOB : Name of the job to build -c  : Check for SCM changes before starting the build, and if there's no       change, exit without doing a build -f  : Follow the build progress. Like -s only interrupts are not passed       through to the build. -p  : Specify the build parameters in the key=value format. -s  : Wait until the completion/abortion of the command. Interrupts are passed       through to the build. -v  : Prints out the console output of the build.

Please file a bug report for this Is there any plan to support parameters via the CLI?  Is there another way to kick off and monitor build status from the cli or a script?  We've used curl in the past to start builds, but there's no way to monitor build status and completion, as far as I know.
