I'm using the GitHub plugin with Jenkins, and I'm trying to figure out how I can access the webhook payload. I'm aware that the Generic Webhook Trigger has this ability, as well as the GitHub Pull Request plugin, but this plugin seems more suitable to an automated workflow.
On that note, what I'm looking at is importing the class and parsing the payload, similar to what is done in the troubleshooting section here.
This sample works, but only prints the class:
import org.kohsuke.stapler.StaplerRequest
import org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.GHEventPayload
import org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.GHEventPayload.PayloadHandler
payload = new PayloadHandler()
println(payload)
This sample wants more info, but I'm not handy enough with Java to know what it's asking for:
import org.kohsuke.stapler.StaplerRequest
import org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.GHEventPayload
import org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.GHEventPayload.PayloadHandler
payload = new PayloadHandler()
println(payload.parse())
According to the source code, that's the method I need, but it produces the following error:
hudson.remoting.ProxyException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.GHEventPayload$PayloadHandler.parse() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Class) values: [interface org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.GHEventPayload]
Possible solutions: parse(org.kohsuke.stapler.StaplerRequest, java.lang.annotation.Annotation, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String), parse(org.kohsuke.stapler.StaplerRequest, org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.GHEventPayload, java.lang.Class, java.lang.String), use([Ljava.lang.Object;), use(java.lang.Class, groovy.lang.Closure), wait(), grep()
Has anyone tried something like this before?
Utility Class... I'm fairly new to the concept of utility classes, but I'll post an answer if I figure it out
