API: update job

XMLWordPrintable

      Currently POSTing new job creates it, but it's not possible to update configuration (config.xml). That would eliminate any needed changes through UI.

          [JENKINS-7946] API: update job

          This is probably an old issue.
          As far as I can tell you can update an issue by posting to /job/

          {jobname}

          /config.xml with the config.xml int the body.

          There still is a problem: when you GET the job config and then POST it back you would expect it to be a no-op =>

          curl http://myjenkins/job/myjob/config.xml -o myjob-config.xml
          curl -XPOST http://myjenkins/job/myjob/config.xml -d @myjob-config.xml

          However this operation strips newlines, breaking shell steps:
          <hudson.tasks.Shell>
          <command>echo "one"
          echo "two"
          echo "three"</command>
          </hudson.tasks.Shell>

          becomes

          <hudson.tasks.Shell> <command>echo oneecho twoecho three</command> </hudson.tasks.Shell>

          (in fact the entire config.xml ends up on a single line).
