All multibranch projects come with a built-in periodical scan trigger that polls scm and checks which branches have changed and then builds those branches.
This is a Jenkins plugin that adds functionality to do this scan on a webhook:
- Receive any HTTP request,
JENKINS_URL/multibranch-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=TOKENHERE - Trigger a multibranch job scan that matches the token
There is a special token parameter. When supplied, the invocation will only trigger jobs with that exact token. The token also allows invocations without any other authentication credentials.
The token can be supplied as a:
- Request parameter:
curl -POST http://localhost:8080/jenkins/multibranch-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=my-token - Token header:
curl -POST -H "token: my-token" http://localhost:8080/jenkins/multibranch-webhook-trigger/invoke
