Job DSL support

steps {
    ansiblePlaybook(String playbook) {
        inventoryPath(String path)
        inventoryContent(String content, boolean dynamic = false)
        ansibleName(String name)
        limit(String limit)
        tags(String tags)
        skippedTags(String tags)
        startAtTask(String task)
        credentialsId(String id)
        sudo(boolean sudo = true)
        sudoUser(String user = 'root')
        forks(int forks = 5)
        unbufferedOutput(boolean unbufferedOutput = true)
        colorizedOutput(boolean colorizedOutput = false)
        hostKeyChecking(boolean hostKeyChecking = false)
        additionalParameters(String params)
    }
        
    ansibleAdHoc(String module, String command) {
        ansibleName(String name)
        inventoryPath(String path)
        inventoryContent(String content, boolean dynamic = false)
        credentialsId(String id)
        hostPattern(String pattern)
        sudo(boolean sudo = true)
        sudoUser(String user = 'root')
        forks(int forks = 5)
        unbufferedOutput(boolean unbufferedOutput = true)
        colorizedOutput(boolean colorizedOutput = false)
        hostKeyChecking(boolean hostKeyChecking = false)
        additionalParameters(String params)
    }
}

Example

steps {
    ansiblePlaybook('path/playbook.yml') {
        inventoryPath('hosts.ini')
        ansibleName('1.9.4')
        tags('one,two')
        credentialsId('credsid')
        sudo(true)
        sudoUser("user")
    }
}

Pipeline support

Ansible playbooks can be executed from workflow scripts. Only the playbook parameter is mandatory.

Example

node {
    ansiblePlaybook( 
        playbook: 'path/to/playbook.yml',
        inventory: 'path/to/inventory.ini', 
        credentialsId: 'sample-ssh-key', 
        extras: '-e parameter="some value"')
}

Extra Variables

Extra variables can be passed to ansible by using a map in the pipeline script. Use the hidden parameter to keep the variable secret in the build log.

node {
    ansiblePlaybook(
        inventory: 'local_inventory/hosts.cfg',
        playbook: 'cloud_playbooks/create-aws.yml',
        extraVars: [
            login: 'mylogin',
            secret_key: [value: 'g4dfKWENpeF6pY05', hidden: true]
        ])
}

Colorized Console Log

You need to install the AnsiColor plugin to output a colorized Ansible log.

node {
    wrap([$class: 'AnsiColorBuildWrapper', colorMapName: "xterm"]) {
        ansiblePlaybook( 
            playbook: 'path/to/playbook.yml',
            inventory: 'path/to/inventory.ini', 
            credentialsId: 'sample-ssh-key',
            colorized: true) 
    }
}
