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. ---

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 ---
