Jenkins Plugins for PR events

You can use Generic Webhook Trigger plugin for triggering Jenkins builds on PR events and get the pr number from the payload it sends to trigger test runs from HyperTest CLI.

To achieve it, you will have to do the following

1. Send webooks to Jenkins webhooks trigger on pull request events from your codebase

2. Install Generic Webhook Plugin in Jenkins

3. Configure Plugin in your pipeline

Steps:

1. Send Webhooks to Jenkins

1. Go to Webhooks

2. Add a new Webhook

3. Payload Url: Wehook trigger listens on /generic-webhook-trigger/invoke.

If you have any authentication on jenkins, pass it in webhook url like below http://<username>:<password>:@<jenkins_ip>:<jenkins_port>/generic-webhook-trigger/invoke

1. Content type: application/json

2. Add any secret if required

3. To trigger the webhooks on pull request events only, select let me select individual events and check pull requests

4. Save and add Webhook

​

2. Install Plugin in Jenkins

Install Generic Webhook Plugin from Jenkins plugins page and restart Jenkins after the plugin is installed

3. Configure Plugin in pipeline to pick PR number

1. Go to configure tab in your pipeline

2. Check the Generic Webhook plugin option under Build triggers

3. To fetch the pull request id, add the parameter in post content parameter Variable Name: pull_request_number Expression: $.pull_request.number

4. Add other envs/token or other settings if required and save

5. Now you access the parameter by $pull_request_number

6. Export HT_PR parameter inside your Jenkinsfile export HT_PR=$pull_request_number

Alternatively you can also control environment variables of Generic Webhook plugin from your Jenkinsfile like below, and add it in HT_PR in environment section
