Jenkins – Invoke Job DSL from Jenkins Pipeline

I've managed to get something working myself. As I wasn't able to get builtin Collators to do what I want, I decided to implement something myself. I've posted my findings on my blog. The basic idea was to read MySQL's characterset/collation definition files (/usr/share/mysql/charsets on my Ubuntu systems). An alternative approach would have been to build rules for a RuleBasedCollator from those definitions, but I decided to build my own collator, which has less features (MySQL collations can't be configured to be case-sensitive or not - they either are or are not) and should perform quite well.

You should use pipelineJob:

pipelineJob('job-name') {
  definition {
    cps {
      script('logic-here')
      sandbox()
    }
  }
}

You can define the logic by inlining it:

pipelineJob('job-name') {
  definition {
    cps {
      script('''
        pipeline {
            agent any
                stages {
                    stage('Stage 1') {
                        steps {
                            echo 'logic'
                        }
                    }
                    stage('Stage 2') {
                        steps {
                            echo 'logic'
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
      '''.stripIndent())
      sandbox()     
    }
  }
}

or load it from a file located in workspace:

pipelineJob('job-name') {
  definition {
    cps {
      script(readFileFromWorkspace('file-seedjob-in-workspace.jenkinsfile'))
      sandbox()     
    }
  }
}

Example:

Seed-job file structure:

jobs
   \- productJob.groovy
logic
   \- productPipeline.jenkinsfile

then productJob.groovy content:

pipelineJob('product-job') {
  definition {
    cps {
      script(readFileFromWorkspace('logic/productPipeline.jenkinsfile'))
      sandbox()     
    }
  }
}
