ReadTheDocs Jobs¶

Job Groups¶

Job groups are a great tool to configure categories of jobs together at the same time. Below the example are some starting point job-groups but we recommend creating your own to ensure that the jobs configured reflect the project’s needs.

An example project:

- job-group:
    name: odl-maven-jobs

    jobs:
      - gerrit-maven-clm
      - gerrit-maven-merge
      - gerrit-maven-release
      - gerrit-maven-verify
      - gerrit-maven-verify-dependencies:
          build-timeout: 180

    mvn-version: mvn35

- project:
    name: aaa
    jobs:
      - odl-maven-jobs

In this example we are using the job-group to assign a list of common jobs to the aaa project. The job-group also hardcodes mvn-version to mvn35 and build-timeout to 180 for all projects using this job-group.

A benefit of this method is for example disabling entire category of jobs by modifying the job-group, insert disable-job: true parameter against the jobs to disable.

Below is a list of Maven job groups:

---
- job-group:
    name: "{project-name}-rtd-jobs"

    jobs:
      - gerrit-rtd-merge
      - gerrit-rtd-verify

- job-group:
    name: "{project-name}-github-rtd-jobs"

    jobs:
      - github-rtd-merge
      - github-rtd-verify

Macros¶

lf-rtd-common¶

RTD verify and merge jobs are the same except for their scm, trigger, and builders definition. This anchor is the common template.

Job Templates¶

ReadTheDocs Merge¶

Merge job which triggers a POST of the docs project to readthedocs.

To use this job first configure the Generic API incoming webhook in ReadTheDocs. To do that follow these steps:

Browse to https://readthedocs.org/dashboard/PROJECT/integrations/
Click on Generic API incoming webhook

Note

If not available click on Add integration and add the Generic API incoming webhook.
Copy the custom webhook URL, this is your rtd-build-url

For example: https://readthedocs.org/api/v2/webhook/opendaylight/32321/
Copy the token, this is your rtd-token

Template Names

{project-name}-rtd-merge-{stream}
gerrit-rtd-merge
github-rtd-merge

Comment Trigger

remerge

Required parameters

build-node: The node to run build on.
jenkins-ssh-credential: Credential to use for SSH. (Generally set in defaults.yaml)
rtd-build-url: This is the generic webhook url from readthedocs.org. Refer to the above instructions to generate one. (Check Admin > Integrations > Generic API incoming webhook)
rtd-token: The unique token for the project Generic webhook. Refer to the above instructions to generate one. (Check Admin > Integrations > Generic API incoming webhook)

Optional parameters

branch

Git branch to fetch for the build. (default: master)

build-days-to-keep

build-timeout

Timeout in minutes before aborting build. (default: 15)

git-url

base URL of git project. (default: https://github.com)

project-pattern

Project to trigger build against. (default: **)

stream

Timeout (in minutes) for checkout operation. (default: 10)

submodule-disable

Disable submodule checkout operation. (default: false)
