Hey @ddegoede

Can you add a changelog entry for me so we can look to get this shipped?

Thanks!

[ddegoede]

Hi @xorima will do so tomorrow. Thanks for checking this PR.

Hi @xorima, I added/amended the changelog, hope you do not mind me taking credit for the groovy indentation fix, merged earlier. Also rebased and fixed the spec test.

Released as: 8.1.0

@xorima that was quick 👍 I was just reading this page about the cli and authentication, and saw that it is actually the apitoken and not a password, shall I create a next MR to reflect this? And also add the option to use file based authentication for the -auth option?

Yes please, I'm not a Jenkins expert by any means btw, I just merge stuff (releases are automated here)

Would you be willing to help maintain this cookbook as it sounds like you have a lot more knowledge than I do on Jenkins?

I'm happy to help review changes as well. Open Robotics is using this jenkins cookbook for several different large Jenkins instances and while our job configurations are all done outside of chef cutting away at the manual steps in bootstrapping and updating our global Jenkins configuration is a situation we're actively trying to improve.
