Job api to create jobs inside a folder

Currently, the job Api to create a job is as follows

https://github.com/cdancy/jenkins-rest/blob/e17624716ace749dd7865601bda6648a801198bf/src/main/java/com/cdancy/jenkins/rest/features/JobsApi.java#L73-L82

This API creates a job in jenkins root folder but not inside a folder.

Perhaps, we can add another API to with a pathparam like @Path("{pathToJob}/createItem") to support the creation of jobs inside a folder.

Great idea. I need this too. Thanks @Dhivyaa21 and @cdancy

@cdancy This looks good. I am adding tests to this change. Meanwhile, a quick question. Do you think its a good idea to use this OPTIONAL_FOLDER_PATH_PARAM for all the job APIs? i am not sure if the other job APIs were designed to access jobs in a folder.

Right now we squeeze in the path to job in the {name} path parameter of other APIs. It works fine. It was just the create API that did not have a way to create the job in a folder. Hence, I created this issue.

Example - Say I want to disable a job in the following path

“/job/folder/job/testJob”

Disable job api is https://github.com/cdancy/jenkins-rest/blob/e17624716ace749dd7865601bda6648a801198bf/src/main/java/com/cdancy/jenkins/rest/features/JobsApi.java#L131-L136

To disable the job , I’ll have to call api().disable("folder/job/testJob") and not api().disable("testJob").
