Jenkins Plugin (Alpha)

Website: https://jenkins.io/

Setup

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

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

Add and configure the jenkins-backend plugin according to it's instructions
Add the EntityJenkinsContent extension to the CI/CD page and EntityLatestJenkinsRunCard to the overview page in the app (or wherever you'd prefer):

Note that if you configured a custom JenkinsInfoProvider in step 2, you may need a custom isJenkinsAvailable. Also if you're transitioning to a new default branch name, you can pass multiple branch names as a comma-separated list and it will check for each branch name.

// In packages/app/src/components/catalog/EntityPage.tsx
import {
  EntityJenkinsContent,
  EntityLatestJenkinsRunCard,
  isJenkinsAvailable,
} 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>
    <EntityLayout.Route path="/" title="Overview">
      {/* ... */}
      <EntitySwitch>
        <EntitySwitch.Case if={isJenkinsAvailable}>
          <Grid item sm={6}>
            <EntityLatestJenkinsRunCard
              branch="main,master"
              variant="gridItem"
            />
          </Grid>
        </EntitySwitch.Case>
        {/* ... */}
      </EntitySwitch>
    </EntityLayout.Route>
    {/* other tabs... */}
    <EntityLayout.Route path="/ci-cd" title="CI/CD">
      <EntitySwitch>
        <EntitySwitch.Case if={isJenkinsAvailable}>
          <EntityJenkinsContent />
        </EntitySwitch.Case>
        {/* ... */}
      </EntitySwitch>
    </EntityLayout.Route>
    {/* ... */}
  </EntityLayout>
);

Run app with yarn start
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

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

Features

View all runs inside a folder
Last build status for specified branch
View summary of a build

Limitations

Only works with organization folder projects backed by GitHub
No pagination support currently, limited to 50 projects - don't run this on a Jenkins instance with lots of builds
