Sometimes a resource is limited or unavailable only during certain times, for example because of a fixed maintenance window for a specific service. It would therefor be nice to be able to optionally define a time frame during which the lock must be aquired. Outside that time frame, the resource should always be considered available.
[JENKINS-63141] Lockable resources: Allow to define time constrained resources
Dirk Heinrichs
added a comment - Could configure it using the following JobDSL snippet:
job('LockableTest') { def lockScript = '...' configure { project -> project / 'properties' / 'org.jenkins.plugins.lockableresources.RequiredResourcesProperty' { 'resourceMatchScript' { 'script'(lockScript) 'sandbox'(false) } } } }
However, as this is quite cumbersome, it would be really great to have direct support for Groovy expressions in JobDSL.

OK, found a workaround by using a blocking job that runs (and acquires the lock) as long as the resource is unavailable and a Groovy expression in the jobs that need the resource which only tries to acquire the lock at certain time.
However, I need to implement this using JobDSL, but the documentation doesn't say anything about how to add a Groovy expression with JobDSL. Can you please clarify?
