What is the value of "END POINT URL". I am using Jenkins URL="http://localhost:8080".
Can you please explain all steps.How to we trigger Jenkins Job when we commit(PUSH) the code in repository.
Read the manual.
You will find/configure End Point in Manage Jenkins > Configure System.
it's correct change your url below
localhost replace as ip Address instead by http://198.162.1.25

To trigger a build ensure that your job can successfully checkout your project first. Then under Build Triggers check Poll SCM
In the text box, set your build trigger to fire within 3 min(or so) of the check-in. This is to reduce CPU load:

We recently moved Java(TestNG) to C#.Net (NUnit). Sametime migrated to Jenkins to Team-city. Currently we are facing some challenges while we configuring the new build pipeline in Team-City.
Scenario 1: Our project has multiple branches, we generally pull code from different Git-branches then trigger the automation.
In Jenkins we used to create build-parameter(list), when user try to execute the Job, he/she select the branch-name from the list (build-parameters), then git will pull code user selected branch then trigger execution.
Can you please help how to implement a similar process in Team-City?
How to configure the default value in the list parameter?
Scenario 2: In Jenkins build-parameter use used to pass to (TestNG.xml). eg: browser, environment. When the user select browser and environment from build parameters, when execution trigger TestNG pull those values and initiate the regression.
How should create build parameters (browser, envi.) and pass those
values to NUnit/ config file?
Thanks

I'm performing an api call in my jenkinsfile that requires specifying a path to file 'A'. Assuming file A is located on the same repo, I am not sure how to refer to file A when running the jenkinsfile.
I feel like this has been done before, but I can't find any resource. Any help is appreciated.
You don't say whether you are using a scripted or declaritive Jenkinsfile, as the details differ. However the principle is the same as far as I am concerned. Basically to do anything with a file you will need to be within a node clause - essentially the controller opens a session on one of the agents and does actions there. You need to checkout your repo on that node:
The scripted Jenkinsfile would look something like (assuming you are not bothered about which node you are running on):
node("") {
checkout scm // "scm" equates to the configuration that the job was run with
// the whole repo will be now available
}
I have a workflow that FTPs files by using an external action from someuser:
- name: ftp deploy
uses: someuser/ftp-action#master
with:
config: ${{ secrets.FTP_CONFIG }}
Is this a security concern? For example could someuser change ftp-action#master to access my secrets.FTP_CONFIG? Should I copy/paste their action into my workflow instead?
If you use ftp-action#master then every time your workflow runs it will fetch the master branch of the action and build it. So yes, I believe it would be possible for the owner to change the code to capture secrets and send them to an external server under their control.
What you can do to avoid this is use a specific version of the action and review their code. You can use a commit hash to refer to the exact version you want, such as ftp-action#efa82c9e876708f2fedf821563680e2058330de3. You could use a tag if it has release tags. e.g. ftp-action#v1.0.0
Although, this is maybe not as secure because tags can be changed.
Alternatively, and probably the most secure, is to fork the action repository and reference your own copy of it. my-fork/ftp-action#master.
The GitHub help page does mention:
Anyone with write access to a repository can read and use secrets.
If someuser does not have write access to the repository, there should be no security issue.
As commented below, you should specify the exact commit of the workflow you are using, in order to make sure it does not change its behavior without your knowledge.
This SO answer has the list of environment variables which gets injected automatically when a Jenkins job is triggered by a gerrit event, but if Jenkins is started manually with a gerrit number as input parameter, how to fetch those GERRIT_* env variables and inject? so the list of environment variables will be same for job started by gerrit event or started manually with gerrit number as input parameter.
You can't do that easly, you would have to use the REST API to search for the GERRIT_* values you're interested in.
But there's another option that, maybe, can solve your problem:
You can re-trigger any job, as it had been trigged at that moment, with all environment variables set. Do the following:
Go to Jenkins web interface
Click on Jenkins > Query and Trigger Gerrit Patches
Search/select the Changes/Patchsets you want
Click on Trigger Selected
I have the task to run a build task whenever the source code in github is updated. However I am very new with Jenkins and I have a hard time to accomplish this.
My understanding
github.com will send a POST message to a specific URL that I specify. As an example let's use:
http://mywebsite/src-updated
So the source code get's update, github sends the POST message to mywebsite/src-updated. Since HTTP runs on port 80, Apache receives this message.

My frustration
Now what?
Jenkins sits there like a loser with no-one wanting to play with him. How will Mr. Jenkins get the message? Is there some module I have to install on Apache so that it notifies him? All this sounds very different from the sparse information I read so far so I feel that I am totally off track.
I also tried to use the Github plugin but I am totally lost on how it's supposed to work (terrible documentation if you're new to the whole thing).
Any help?
Please check this link on configuring Jenkins with Apache. Besides, i also found this note on the GitHub plugin page:
Jenkins inside a firewall:
In case your Jenkins run inside the firewall and not directly reachable from the internet, this plugin lets you specify an arbitrary endpoint URL as an override in the automatic mode. The plugin will assume that you've set up reverse proxy or some other means so that the POST from GitHub will be routed to the Jenkins.
As far as running builds is concerned whenever source code in GitHub is updated, it's very simple to configure in Jenkins. There is a polling option present in the job's/project's configuration page. Go to the configuration section of the job. Search for Build Triggers section. You will find a check-box named Poll SCM. Enabling this option tells Jenkins to initiate a build as soon as it finds a change in the repository (in this case, GitHub) you specified. You will have to specify some interval after which it will check GitHub for changes:
For example,
# every fifteen minutes (perhaps at :07, :22, :37, :52)
H/15 * * * *
