Two Step Build Process Jenkins - amazon-web-services

Question

I am creating a Cloudfront Service for my organization. I am trying to create a job where a user can execute a Jenkins Job to update a distribution.
I would like the ability for the user to input a Distribution ID and then have Jenkins Auto-Fill a secondary set of parameters. Jenkins would need to grab the configuration for that Distribution (via Groovy or other means) to do that auto-fill. The user then would select which configuration options they would like to change and hit submit. The job would then make the requested updates (via a python script).
Can this be done through some combination of plugins(or any other means?)

Answer 1

// the first input requests the DistributionID from a user
stage 'Input Distribution ID'
def distributionId = input(
id: 'distributionId', message: "Cloudfront Distribution ID", parameters: [
[$class: 'TextParameterDefinition',
description: 'Distribution ID', name: 'DistributionID'],
])
echo ("using DistributionID=" + distributionId)
// Second
// Sample data - you'd need to get the real data from somewhere here
// assume data will be in distributionData after this
def map = [
"1": [ name: "1", data: "data_1"],
"2": [ name: "2", data: "data_2"],
"other": [ name: "other", data: "data_other"]
]
def distributionData;
if(distributionId in map.keySet()) {
distributionData = map[distributionId]
} else {
distributionData = map["other"]
}
// The third stage uses the gathered data, puts these into default values
// and requests another user input.
// The user now has the choice of altering the values or leave them as-is.
stage 'Configure Distribution'
def userInput = input(
id: 'userInput', message: 'Change Config', parameters: [
[$class: 'TextParameterDefinition', defaultValue: distributionData.name,
description: 'Name', name: 'name'],
[$class: 'TextParameterDefinition', defaultValue: distributionData.data,
description: 'Data', name: 'data']
])
// Fourth - Now, here's the actual code to alter the Cloudfront Distribution
echo ("Name=" + userInput['name'])
echo ("Data=" + userInput['data'])
Create a new pipeline and copy/paste this into the pipeline script section
Play around with it
I can easily imagine this code could be implemented in a much better way, but at least, it's a start.
