Build can be triggered by posting build request as described in page Interact with Build Requests. Sometimes it is useful to trigger build via GET request, and here is how:
- Create a build request XML file, say request.xml Refer to request new build section of Interact with Build Requests on how to create build request XML
- Base64 and urlencode the xml file
base64 request.xml | xargs urlencode
On Ubuntu, you will need to call sudo apt install gridsite-clients if urlencode is not available
- Trigger build via below url:
http://localhost:8810/rest/trigger?build_request=<output of above step>You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as authorized QuickBuild user if the anonymous does not have RUN_BUILD permission for the requested configuration.
