I'm trying to set additionalParameters from Groovy code, similar to JENKINS-44128.
steps { jobDsl { additionalClasspath(somePath) removedJobAction('DELETE') removedViewAction('DELETE') targets(someTargets) additionalParameters([arg1: 'test', arg2: 'test2']) } }
Whatever I do, I cannot specify the map of additionalParameters. I always get:
ERROR: (unknown source) No signature of method: javaposse.jobdsl.plugin.structs.DescribableContext.additionalParameters() is applicable for argument types: (java.util.LinkedHashMap) values: ...
Could it be that maps cannot be passed at all, atm, maybe because they are not handled in https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/blob/master/job-dsl-plugin/src/main/groovy/javaposse/jobdsl/plugin/structs/DescribableContext.groovy#L72 ?
+1 – I'm not seeing additionalParameters in the Job DSL API Viewer, either.
Workaround: Instead of freeStyleJob, I use a pipelineJob with cpsScm and reference a Jenkinsfile that uses the parameter as documented at User Power Moves > Use Job DSL in Pipeline Scripts.
That works, but spreads the job in two files.
Then again, there's much more logic available in a pipeline script compared to JobDsl; for instance, changing removedJobAction based on the branch building jobs from was a log easier.
