Bugs

Please raise an issue for any bugs you find, and ensure the component is set to bulk-builder. Please include details about your Jenkins setup and plugin version number.

Integration with external systems

Bulk builds can be easily triggered by external scripts or processes,

curl -u username:password -X POST http://localhost:8080/bulkbuilder/build -d action=immediate_build -d build=all

curl -u username:password -X POST http://localhost:8080/bulkbuilder/build -d action=immediate_build -d build=failed

curl -u username:password -X POST http://localhost:8080/bulkbuilder/build -d action=immediate_build -d build=all -d pattern=*foo*

Patterns accepts wildcard (star)
If any curl requests does not have the expected outcome it is recommended to test by executing the plugin manually in Jenkins and then check the browser log via the browser development mode.
F.ex. in Chrome. Press F12 to enter dev mode. Select 'Preserve log' and then select Network. After you push the Build button you can examine the actual request sent by the bulk builder plugin.
