Jenkins Plugin (Alpha)

Website: https://jenkins.io/

Setup

1. If you have a standalone app (you didn't clone this repo), then do

# From your Backstage root directory
cd packages/app
yarn add @backstage/plugin-jenkins

2. Add and configure tha backend plugin according to it's instructions

3. Add the EntityJenkinsContent extension to the cicd page and EntityLatestJenkinsRunCard to the entity page in the app:

Note that if you configured a custom JenkinsInfoProvider in step 2, you may need a custom isJenkinsAvailable.

// In packages/app/src/components/catalog/EntityPage.tsx
import { EntityJenkinsContent } from '@backstage/plugin-jenkins';

// You can add the tab to any number of pages, the service page is shown as an
// example here
const serviceEntityPage = (
  <EntityLayout>
    {/* other tabs... */}
    <EntityLayout.Route path="/jenkins" title="Jenkins">
      <EntityJenkinsContent />
    </EntityLayout.Route>

4. Run app with yarn start
5. Add the Jenkins folder annotation to your catalog-info.yaml.

Currently, this plugin only supports folders and Git SCM. Note that if you configured a custom JenkinsInfoProvider in step 2, you may need to use a different annotation scheme here

apiVersion: backstage.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: 'your-component'
  description: 'a description'
  annotations:
    jenkins.io/github-folder: 'folder-name/project-name'
spec:
  type: service
  lifecycle: experimental
  owner: your-name

7. Register your component

8. Click the component in the catalog. You should now see Jenkins builds, and a last build result for your master build.
