Gitlab trigger daily jenkins jobs using webhooks-CodePudding

I'm looking for a way on how to trigger periodical Jenkins jobs using gitlab (14.2.3-ee) webhooks.

As of now the Jenkins Gitlab integration is working using Push or TagPush events. But how can I schedule periodical build events?

I have seen the option for CI Schedules in gitlab, but this will only execute the gitlab pipeline. How can I trigger the Jenkins pipeline for such events?

CodePudding user response：

You can create a simple scheduled gitlab pipeline to call webhook.

A simple job like this should be sufficient :

# Exec pipeline only on scheduled pipeline
workflows:
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "schedule"

trigger-jenkins:
  stage: build
  image: curlimages/curl:7.81.0
  script:
    - curl ${JENKINS_WEBHOOK_URL}

You have to put this code in a .gitlab-ci.yml file and scheduled pipelines in CI/CD -> Schedules menu in Gitlab project UI.
