Jenkins Param finder

This is a very simple-hackishly written chrome extension which lets you specify a job name and certain criteria and return a list of jobs which match your criteria.

Install/Develop

To install locally:

• Clone/fork the repo
• go to chrome://extensions
• Click Devleoper Mode
• Click load unpacked extensions
• Navigate to your clone/form and click confirm
• It Should now appear in your extensions bar!

If you have made code changes locally after doing the above:

• got to chrome://extensions
• Locate this extension in the list and click reload or refresh the page

Usage

Simply open the extension when on one of your jenkins webpages. If this page is a job page it will prepopulate the job name for you but you can change this to any jenkins job on the same domain.

Once you have specified the job name, you need some criteria to match it against...

Criteria (Params)

The critera is a comma seperated string of the following format

PARAM=VALUE=regex|exact,PARAM=VALUE=regex|exact,PARAM=VALUE=regex|exact,...

Where

• PARAM is the name job paramater you will be matching against (case sensitive)
• VALUE is the value of the PARAM you will be matching against
• regex|exact is the type of match to perform... (optional)
  • a regex match will perform a regex match using VALUE as the regex
  • an exact match will perform a case senstive match using VALUE's case for the matching
  • This is optional, if this is left off (dont include the second = if you leave this off) or something other than regex or exact is supplied it will default to a case insensitive string match.

NOTE : If you specify X number of criteria, the returned jobs will only be returned if all the criteia matches.

Example.

If I wanted to find every instance of example.job that ran using the parameters ENV: Test, USER: Tester and COLOR: Green I could do the following:

Jobname: example.job
Params: ENV=Test=exact,USER=Tester=exact,COLOR=Green=exact

or if The case doesn't matter...

Jobname: example.job
Params: ENV=Test,USER=Tester,COLOR=Green

or if You're not sure on the exact value of COLOR

Jobname: example.job
Params: ENV=Test=exact,USER=Tester=exact,COLOR=.*=regex
