How to move jenkins work to a subfolder?

Question

I have 10 jenkins job in foo folder. I created a new baar folder in the foo folder. How to move 10 jobs from foo folder to baar subfolder?

Answer 1

First, you need to install the plugin for cloud platforms , after which you will see the Move option in tasks

click on it, then the (drop down) option will appear where you want to move

select and move

As @Pratik Anand noted, you first need to install the CloudBees Folders plugin .

However, if you want to move many projects at the same time, it is much faster to do this with the script console . This groovy script does the trick:

 def FOLDER_NAME = '<An existing destination folder>' def JOB_REGEX = '<A regex to find your jobs>' import jenkins.* import jenkins.model.* import hudson.* import hudson.model.* jenkins = Jenkins.instance def folder = jenkins.getItemByFullName(FOLDER_NAME) if (folder == null) { println "ERROR: Folder '$FOLDER_NAME' not found" return } // Find jobs in main folder def found = jenkins.items.grep { it.name =~ "${JOB_REGEX}" } println "Searching main folder : $found" // Find jobs in other subfolders jenkins.items.grep { it instanceof com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.Folder }.each { subfolder -> if(!subfolder.getName().equals(FOLDER_NAME)) { println "Searching folder '$subfolder.name'" subfolder.getItems().grep { it.name =~ "${JOB_REGEX}" }.each { job -> println "Found $job.name" found.add(job); } } } // Move them found.each { job -> println "Moving '$job.name' to '$folder.name'" Items.move(job, folder) } 

I used Daniel Serodio in this thread and modified it to find subfolders. Please note that this is not completely recursive.

Have you tried to use the plugins folder?

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/CloudBees+Folders+Plugin

Then you can move the tasks using the function: "move"
