Jenkins Job Builder Slack Plugin

February 15, 2016August 13, 2018 mreed 0 Comments DevOps, Jenkins

With the proliferation of Slack and the general ChatOps movement I figured it would be a good idea to add Slack notifications to my Jenkins jobs after a coworker of mine implemented Slack in our environment. In our CI environment we are using Jenkins Job Builder (http://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/) to automate the configuration of our Jenkins jobs. Unfortunately I was unable to find any native support for configuring Slack notifications but stumbled upon a plugin created by Åsmund Grammeltvedt. The following steps cover adding support for slack to Jenkins Job builder.

Install the Slack plugin using pip

pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/j/jenkins-jobs-slack/jenkins-jobs-slack-0.3.2.tar.gz#md5=390d4602cca9e312390b49e74a5c5835

Example configuration settings for slack
