I am using this https://python-jenkins.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ python Jenkins API to create a job from XML config. Everything working fine except the webhook for Bitbucket server. I need to hit save/apply button at least once to activate the Webhook. Is there any way to call this Save/apply event through any script or API?
It would be a great help if anyone can suggest a solution.
This Problem is resolved with the latest update of Jenkins - Bitbucket server integration Plug-in

I am setting up CI on Xcode Server and I am trying to start integration as soon as Pull requests are created. My repository is on GitHub. Is there any way it can be done. I didn’t find any option in Xcode Server. Only thing I have found is to change repository.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!!!
Right now I am deploying code to the parse cloud via the command line tool. Is it possible for parse to automatically deploy changes on my github master branch? If so how can I do this?
I don't believe this is possible with Parse alone.
However, you could use Github webhooks and the Parse CLI to configure your own setup with a server (used to deploy). The overview is:
1) Set up Parse CLI on your server so that you can run commands like parse deploy
2) Set up your server to listen for Github webhooks. e.g., http://yoursite.com/githubWebhook listen for POST requests.
3) When your endpoint receives the POST from github (confirmed via the secret included in the Github POST payload), you can run a script that executes the parse deploy command on your server.
Here's an example project in Node.js that shows how to set up the handler for Github webhooks. And here's a SO post describing how to execute commands in node.
Let me know if you need anymore clarification.
My Google-fu is failing me for what seems obvious if I can only find the right manual.
I have a Gitlab server which was installed by our hosting provider
The Gitlab server has many projects.
For some of these projects, I want that Gitlab automatically pushes to a remote repository (in this case Github) every time there is a push from a local client to Gitlab.
Like this: client --> gitlab --> github
Any tags and branches should also be pushed.
AFAICT I have 3 options:
Configure the local client with two remotes, and push simultaneous to Gitlab and Github. I want to avoid this because developers.
Add a git post-receive hook in the repository on the Gitlab server. This would be most flexible (I have sufficient Linux experience to write shell scripts as git hooks) and I have found documentation on how to do this, but I want to avoid this too because then the hosting provider will need to give me shell access.
I use webhooks in Gitlab. I am unfamiliar with what the very basics of webhooks are, and I am unable to locate understandable documentation or even a simple step-by-step example. This is the documentation from Gitlab that I found and I do not understand it: http://demo.gitlab.com/help/web_hooks/web_hooks
I would appreciate good pointers, and I will summarize and document a solution when I find it.
EDIT
I'm using this Ruby code for a web hook:
class PewPewPew < Sinatra::Base
post '/pew' do
push = JSON.parse(request.body.read)
puts "I got some JSON: #{push.inspect}"
end
end
Next: find out how to tell the gitlab server that it has to push a repository. I am going back to the GitLab API.
EDIT
I think I have an idea. On the server where I run the webhook, I pull from GitLab and then I push to Github. I can even do some "magic" (running tests, building jars, deploying to Artifactory,...) before I push to GitHub. In fact it would be great if Jenkins were able to push to a remote repository after a succesful build, then I wouldn't need to write my own webhook, because I'm pretty sure Jenkins already provides a webhook for Gitlab, either native or via a plugin. But I don't know. Yet.
EDIT
I solved it in Jenkins.
You can set more than one git remote in an Jenkins job. I used Git Publisher as a Post-Build Action and it worked like a charm, exactly what I wanted.
would work of course.
is possible but dangerous because GitLab shell automatically symlinks hooks into repositories for you, and those are necessary for permission checks: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell/tree/823aba63e444afa2f45477819770fec3cb5f0159/hooks so I'd rather stay away from it.
Web hooks are not suitable directly: they make an HTTP request with fixed format on certain events, in your case push, not Git protocol requests.
Of course, you could write a server that consumes the hook, clones and pushes, but a service (single push and no deployment) or GitLab CI (already implements hook management) would be strictly better solutions.
services are a the best option if someone implements it: live in the source tree, would do a single push, and require no extra deployment overhead.
GitLab CI or othe CIs like Jenkins are the best option currently available. They are essentially already implemented server for the webhooks, which automatically clone for you: all you have to do then is to push from them.
The keywords you want to Google for are "gitlab mirror github". That has led me to: Gitlab repository mirroring for instance. There seems to be no perfect, easy solution today.
Also this has already been proposed at the feature request forum at: http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/4614663-automatic-push-to-remote-mirror-repo-after-push-to Always check there ;) Go and upvote the request.
The key difficulty now is how to store the push credentials.
I solved it in Jenkins. You can set more than one git remote in an Jenkins job. I used Git Publisher as a Post-Build Action and it worked like a charm, exactly what I wanted.
I added "-publisher" jobs that run after "" is built successfully. I could have done it in one job, but I decided to split it up. The build jobs are triggered by a web hook in GitLab; the publisher jobs are using a #daily schedule from the BuildResultTrigger plugin.
Does anyone know if it's possible to deploy to Parse.com hosting from CloudBees, Travis, or circle?
I'm aware of the commandline tool but I'm not sure how to integrate it with CI or if there is any other way.
I've found a solution that have worked well for me. Using travis-ci.com you can set it up to work with parse.com and github. Users commit to master branch and the code is auto deployed to Parse.com. Basically your credentials are encrypted using Travis's Ruby script (which can be found here: http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/encryption-keys/ . Once you're keys are made, you setup a .yml config file that, on travis downloads the parse sdk in a virtual environment, uses the hashed credentials to login to parse and then runs the parse deploy function resulting in a push to parse.
Rather than having teamcity log onto the gitolite server several tens of thousands of times each day - and also sitting around waiting for the poll to happen (or starting it manually).
It would be nice if it was possible to set it up gitolite hooks that inform TeamCity that the repository has changed.
Is such a configuration possible with TeamCity and gitolite?
I know Jenkins has a github plugin that works nicely - I use that setup for some Minecraft CI I am running privately.
One way would be to gitolite (through a VREF hook) to call TeamCity through its REST API, in order to launch a build through web request.
You just need to make web request to the following URL:
http://YOURSERVER/httpAuth/action.html?add2Queue=btId
, where btId is build type Id – unique identifier for each build configuration.
To get it, you can just look for it in browser address bar, when clicking on build configuration, or use TeamCity REST API for details.
The OP Morten Nilsen didn't need a VREF:
add a file "post-receive" to .gitolite/hooks/common and
run gitolite setup --hooks-only
