PHP cURL POST Jenkins job with parameters

Question 1

Triggering Jenkins job via following PHP script:

<?php

$testrun_id = "1744";
$cmd = "curl -X POST http://build:[email protected]:8080/job/android-test/build --data-urlencode  json='{"parameter": [{"name":"POST_RESULTS", "value":"true"}, {"name":"RUN_ID", "value":"{$testrun_id}"}, {"name":"CHECK_NAME", "value":"SampleAutomatedPlan"}]}'";
exec($cmd,$result);

?>

This script runs successfully on Mac and the jenkins job does get triggered. How do I make this script to work on Windows? I am getting following error when I run above PHP script on Windows?

curl is already installed on windows machine. Also, is there a better way to do cURL in PHP? Looking at this: http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php, can someone point me towards an example based on my curl command in the above PHP script(for Windows)? An example based on the curl command in my script would be ideal.

Question 2

you should check examples from here http://php.net/manual/en/curl.examples.php

Bellow is the code for you case,

$url = "http://build:[email protected]:8080/job/android-test/buildWithParameters";     
$data = "POST_RESULTS=true&RUN_ID=".$testrun_id."&CHECK_NAME=SampleAutomatedPlan";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); 

// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);

// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);

Question 3

I tested some things with this form and if the csrf code is incorrect, then it gives a bad request.

The csrf value changes for every request and is tied to your cookies. So you need to fetch the login page first and extract the correct csrf code before submitting.

Working code:

<?php
$LOGINURL = "https://secure2.ws1.com/login";
$agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$LOGINURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookies.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookies.txt");
$result = curl_exec ($ch);

// extract csrf token
preg_match('/<input type="hidden" name="_csrf" value="([^"]+)">/i', $result, $csrf);
$csrf = $csrf[1];
$csrf = urlencode($csrf);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "_csrf={$csrf}&LoginForm%5Bemail%5D=naczzalid%40hotmail.com&LoginForm%5Bpassword%5D=csc1233&LoginForm%5BrememberMe%5D=0&login-button=");

$result = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

var_dump($result);

Question 4

I'm using:

curl -X POST -u "user" "http://myjenkins/path/to/my/job/buildWithParameters?GERRIT_REFNAME=feature/retry&goal=package"

here and it's working like a charm.

Watch out the "=" in front of the "PARAMETER" in the URL you pasted.

Question 5

Figured it out. It was related to the $fieldstring variable. For some reason it was not staying local to the function so it was including some other variables. just changed the fieldstring variable with a digit at the end. In the final code I will write a better script for url-ify'ing the variables. I also had to use the full id given. Either way it was resolved now and the code works as it should.

Question 6

Try this to see if SELinux will let the web server connect to the network:

getsebool httpd_can_network_connect

If not, allow it with

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
