Trigger a new jenkins job through ansible

Hi Techies,

I’m looking for a solution where I want to trigger a Jenkins build through Ansible.
I went through a module called jenkins_job from which I can connect to the jenkins server but not able to trigger a new build.
Please help me here and TIA.

Maybe use the uri module to call jenkins rest api - see https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API

Turns out I needed this too. In the end I wound up with the following role (lightly tested in ansible 2.3.0.0 so far).

$ tree -A jenkins-job/
jenkins-job/
├── defaults
│ └── main.yml
└── tasks
└── main.yml

2 directories, 2 files
$ cat jenkins-job/defaults/main.yml

Thank you very much. It really helps me a lot.

Venkatesh
