JMS Messaging

Build Status Contributors Jenkins Plugin GitHub release Jenkins Plugin Installs

JMS Messaging Plugin

  • Trigger Jenkins build upon receipt of a matching message.
  • Await message in the middle of a Job
  • Send message from Jenkins Job.

JMS Messaging Providers

  • This plugin supports the following JMS Message Provider types
    • ActiveMQ
    • FedMsg
    • RabbitMQ

Older versions of this plugin may not be safe to use. Please review the following warnings before using an older version:

Set Up

Global Configuration

Before the plugin may be used, you must add a JMS Messaging Provider. This will provide the ability to send and receive messages. Below is a list of currently supported JMS Message Providers:

  • ActiveMQ
  • FedMsg
  • RabbitMQ

Configuration as code

Example:

unclassified:
  jmsProviders:
    configs:
      - fedMsg:
          name: "Fedora messages"
          hubAddr: "tcp://example.com:5678"
          pubAddr: "tcp://example.com:6789"
          topic: "org.fedora.bar"
      - activeMq:
          name: "Active MQ"
          broker: "foo.com:4242"
          topic: "active.mq.com"
          topicProvider: "default"
          useQueues: false
          authenticationMethod:
            simple:
              username: "foo"
              password: "bar" # User, encrypt secrets
      - rabbitMq:
          name: "Rabbit MQ"
          exchange: "ex"
          hostname: "rabbitmq.example.com"
          portNumber: "4545"
          queue: "foo.bar"
          topic: "baz"
          virtualHost: "rabbitvh.example.com"
          authenticationMethod:
            sslCertificate:
              keystore: "/tmp/key"
              keypwd: "keypwd" # User, encrypt secrets
              truststore: "/tmp/trust"
              trustpwd: "trustpwd" # User, encrypt secrets

Triggering

To enable the CI trigger, go to the job configuration page and add click the check box "CI Event" under the Build Triggers section. Enabling the trigger on a job requires two additional pieces of information:

  • Provider Name
  • JMS Selector

The complete documentation for JMS selectors can be found here: http://activemq.apache.org/selectors.html

Message Types

In the image above, the selector contains CI_TYPE = '<message-type>'

The valid values for '<message-type>' can be found in the "Type" column in the table below:

Message Description Type
Code quality checks done Indicate that static analysis covering code quality is complete. code-quality-checks-done
Component build done Indicate that a component has been built. component-build-done
Component functional test coverage done Indicate that test coverage for component tests is complete. functional-test-coverage-done
Custom Indicate a custom event not covered by the other message types. custom

Build Steps

CI Notifier

This plugin provides a build step for publishing messages to the topic upon job completion. To add the CI Notifier build step, go to the job configuration page and select the "CI Notifier" option.

Adding the step to the job requires some additional information:

  • Provider name
  • Message type
  • Message properties
  • Message content.

The full list of message types available in the drop-down menu can be found in the Message Type table above.

CI Subscriber

This plugin provides a build step to wait for a specific message. To add the CI Subscriber build step, go to the job configuration page and select the "CI Subscriber" option.

Adding the step to the job requires some additional information:

  • Provider name
  • JMS Selector
  • Variable
  • Timeout

The build step will set an environment variable with the name from Variable with a value of the message content.

Post-build steps

CI Notifier

See above.

Pipeline Support

Triggers

The CI trigger is available via the triggers section in a declarative pipeline:

triggers {
    ciBuildTrigger(noSquash: false,
        providerList: [ activeMQSubscriber(name: 'Red Hat UMB',
                        checks: [
                            [
                                expectedValue: '^foo.*bar$',
                                field: '$.msg.tag'
                            ]
                        ],
                        overrides: [topic: 'Consumer.rh-jenkins-ci-plugin.8dad9900-abcabc.VirtualTopic.eng.ci.example.durable.test.abcabc'] )
        ]
    )
}

Job DSL Support

Here is a usage example for Job DSL:

ciBuildTrigger {
    providers {
      providerDataEnvelope {
        providerData {
          activeMQSubscriber {
            name("Red Hat UMB")
            overrides {
              def uuid = "4ba46bbc-949b-11e8-b83f-54ee754ea14c"
              topic("Consumer.rh-jenkins-ci-plugin.${uuid}.VirtualTopic.eng.ci.redhat-container-image.pipeline.running")
            }
            // Message Checks
            checks {
              msgCheck {
                field('$.artifact.type')
                expectedValue("cvp")
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
    noSquash(true)
  }
}

Steps

This plugin provides the steps when using the Jenkins Pipeline feature:

  • sendCIMessage
    • This is the Freestyle CI Notifier Build and Publisher step sibling.
  • waitForCIMessage
    • This is the Freestyle CI Subscriber Build step sibling.

Here are some examples:

node('master') {
   // Send a message that CodeQualityChecksDone
    def sendResult = sendCIMessage \
        providerName: 'default', \
        messageContent: 'some content', \
        messageProperties: 'CI_STATUS = passed', \
        messageType: 'CodeQualityChecksDone'
    // echo sent message id and content
    echo sendResult.getMessageId()
    echo sendResult.getMessageContent()
}

and

node('master') {
    // Wait for message and store message content in variable
    def msgContent = waitForCIMessage \
         providerName: 'default', \
         selector: "CI_TYPE = 'code-quality-checks-done' and CI_STATUS = 'passed'"
    echo "msgContent = " + msgContent
}
