jenkinslint

A basic Jenkinsfile linter (validator). Can validate files using a Jenkins web interface, or the Jenkins SSH interface.

Usage

To configure which type of validation to use (web or SSH), create an INI file named .jenkinslintrc in the root of your repository.

The following parameters are supported:

JENKINS_SERVER

Server name

JENKINS_SSH_PORT

When set, use SSH validation

JENKINS_UNSAFE_SSL

When set to TRUE, disable SSL/TLS certificate validation

JENKINS_URL

Full Jenkins URL for web-based validation

Not all parameters need to be set. Example:

JENKINS_SERVER=jenkins.demo.local
JENKINS_SSH_PORT=8022

Standalone

Validate files using jenkinslint followed by the name of the Jenkinsfile, e.g.

jenkinslint Jenkinsfile

Using the pre-commit framework

Install the pre-commit framework, and add the following to the .pre-commit-config.yaml file:

- repo: https://github.com/PeterMosmans/jenkinslint
  rev: master
  hooks:
   - id: jenkinslint

This will automatically validate files named Jenkinsfile during the pre commit phase.
