Jenkins Editor

V1.11.0 had problems with lines where multiple variables were used.
This is handled by this hotfix release.

I just released version 1.11.0 which contains simple source formatting as a new feature.

This plugin is simply amazing. Please don't stop to develop it. Jenkins pipelines are a complex task to write and this plugin makes this task a little bit easier.

Because of bintray sundown we need a new update site URL.

For Yaml Editor and Bash Editor we allready have the change. When will this happen for Jenkinsfile?

Hi - I had asked that already a while ago but got no response, so I am asking again:

The Jenkinsfile Editor does syntax highlighting but that seems to be it. Is that really all it's supposed to do?
I had expected some syntax validation, you write that it supports code completion, but it obviously does not. I also had expected at least some basic validations (e.g. warnings on unused variable, superfluous ';' and similar stuff). Shouldn't it do that? Any idea why none of these features is working in my environment?

This is on eclipse 2020-12.

Hi,

I tried the jenkins linter several times but all I get is 'Jenkins CLI call failed' so my guess it, the plugin forgets to store the credentials from the settings dialog somewhere.

First some information about my setup: I am running a jenkins-server 2.249.2 on a server on my network. In my user settings on jenkins I created an API token. Then I switched to my eclipse (9090-09 with jenkins editor 1.7.0), opened the settings of jenkins editor, checked the jenkins URL, added my user name in 'credentials' and added my API token. Once I pressed 'Test connection' and got the message 'Connection test successful'.

Whatever I do next: press 'apply' first or directly 'apply and close', whenever I try to lint a jenkinsfile all I get is 'Jenkins CLI call failed' with the following message in the details view:

"JenkinsLinterCLIResult:
- exitCode:-2 (Linter was not executed at all)
- failureMessage:Access to Jenkins was not possible by command:

java -jar C:\Apps\jenkins-cli\jenkins-cli.jar -s %URL_NOT_ALLOWED_HERE% -http -noCertificateCheck -auth null:******* declarative-linter

Maybe credentials not valid or hostname/firewall problems.
Please check Jenkins CLI setup in preferences
-Output was:

"

BTW: when I copied the command line java -jar blabla to a cmd window and replaced the pair 'null:****' with my actual user/API-token and pasted a jenkinsfile to the console I got: 'Jenkinsfile successfully validated.'

So my idea about lost settings seems quite valid.

Could you please fix this?

Best regards,
Christoph

The Jenkins-Editor works as text editor and does some basic syntax highlighting, but it doesn't seem to "know" or recognize that the Jenkinsfile is actually Groovy code and hence it doesn't provide the corresponding language support.

E.g. when commenting a range it prefixes the text with '#' instead of '//', which produces illgal syntax. I would also have expected that it offers the corresponding support like code completions, variable names when writing expressions, etc. etc.

Is there something one can add or adjust to make that happen?

I'm trying to install the plugin via market place and it's giving me an error saying it's not able to find the context.xml

Hi,

Does it require or have a dependency with Groovy Eclipse? If it does not, do I still get any advantage from using Groovy Eclipse together wth Jenkins Editor?

Thank you.

My company security does not permit installing from Eclipse plug-ins via the Marketplace client.  Do you make available a binary to install this plug-in offline?  Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hi, 

I found this useful plug-in for Eclipse and I'd like to know if it would be possible to have support for auto completion and getting documentation of the methods used, e.g., as we're writing our Jenkinsfile, similar to other languages as Java? 

Thanks in advance, Alberto.
