Triggering the same jenkins job after the build is finished in Jenkins

Is there a way to trigger the same job when the build is finished. I have one job that needed to be run until I aborted it manually. Is there a way to accomplish this?

you can try

  1. add build step to create few files - file per condition set
  2. add build step Trigger/call builds on other projects with add parameter factories with For every matching file, invoke one build
  3. the called project might have input file as a parameter - it would be passed from the parent project from #2.

There is "Build after other projects are built" under "Build Triggers" in job configuration page in which you can specify which project to build after which project. So if you want to continuously run a particular job, you can add Project name i.e your job name in "Projects to watch" field under "Build after other projects are built" and can run it with options :- Trigger only if build is stable
Trigger even if the build is unstable
Trigger even if the build fails

The easiest way to do this is to add a post build step that builds the same project. Set "Post-build Actions" - "Build other projects" - "Projects to build" to the name of your project and it will loop forever.

This is a pretty crazy request. Are you sure that's what you want to do? If you just want to keep up to date you could just have the job build when the SCM system changes- even down to using the filesystem as an SCM.

If you really want to do it though, it is possible. You can't just tell it to trigger itself, but you can use the REST api.

Add a shell build step with the line

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/job/Tester/build

and a new job will get scheduled each time you run build.
