How to read in a Jenkins Web Hook post request body?












3















I have an application that is triggering a Jenkins job via a Web Hook. The web hook makes a POST request that contains data I need to use within the Jenkins Job - different actions will be taken depending on the request body.



How do I pass this request body to my script? - Is is accessible from the Build Actions?



I haven't written the script yet, but it may be in Bash, or Python.



Is the Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin (https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Generic+Webhook+Trigger+Plugin) the way to go?



Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

          Yes, considering it can extract from a response body in JSON any value you want, as illustrated by this issue.



            genericTrigger {
          genericVariables {
          genericVariable {
          key("VARIABLE_FROM_POST")
          value("$.something")
          expressionType("JSONPath") //Optional, defaults to JSONPath
          regexpFilter("") //Optional, defaults to empty string
          defaultValue("") //Optional, defaults to empty string
          }
          }
          ...


          That would extract from the JSON response body the "something" element value.



          And/or you can get back the all JSON payload.




          If you specify the JSONPath as just $ then that should evaluate to all json.
