How can I add/edit new code to my Jenkins instance that would be accesible in a DSL script? Context follows
I've inherited a Jenkins instance. Part of this inheritance includes spending the night in a haunted house writing some new automation in groovy via the Jobs DSL plugin. Since I'm fearful of ruining our jenkins instance, my first step is setting up a local development instance.
I'm having trouble running one of our existing DSL Scripts on my local development instance -- my builds on the local server fail with the following in the Jenkins error console.
Processing DSL script jobs.groovy
ERROR: startup failed:
jobs.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class thecompanysname.jenkins.extensions
The script in question starts off like this.
import thecompanysname.jenkins.extensions
use(extensions) {
def org = 'project-name'
def project = 'test-jenkins-repo'
def _email = '[email protected]'
So, as near I can tell, it seems like a predecesor has written some custom Groovy code that they're importing
import thecompanysname.jenkins.extensions
What's not clear to me is
- Where this code lives
- How I can find it in our real Jenkins instance
- How I can add to to my local instance
