[FIXED] How to store secret text or file using groovy

Issue

I have found how to store an Username/Password or SSH Username/PrivateKey using the groovy-based APIs for Jenkins.

https://gist.github.com/iocanel/9de5c976cc0bd5011653

domain = Domain.global()
store = Jenkins.instance.getExtensionList('com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider')[0].getStore()

priveteKey = new BasicSSHUserPrivateKey(
CredentialsScope.GLOBAL,
"jenkins-slave-key",
"root",
new BasicSSHUserPrivateKey.UsersPrivateKeySource(),
"",
""
)

usernameAndPassword = new UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl(
CredentialsScope.GLOBAL,
"jenkins-slave-password", "Jenkis Slave with Password Configuration",
"root",
"jenkins"
)

store.addCredentials(domain, priveteKey)
store.addCredentials(domain, usernameAndPassword)

There are more kinds of credentials that can be stored. How do I do:

• Secret file
• Secret text

Solution

After some research, I found that the plain-credentials plugin implements the Secret Text and Secret File credentials. I forked the gist above and added code for these two types (see the gist for the reqwuired imports).

https://gist.github.com/chrisvire/383a2c7b7cfb3f55df6a

secretText = new StringCredentialsImpl(
CredentialsScope.GLOBAL,
"secret-text",
"Secret Text Description",
Secret.fromString("some secret text goes here"))

file = new File("/path/to/some/file")
noFileItem = [ getName: { return "" } ] as FileItem

//FileCredentailsImpl can take a file from a do

secretFile = new FileCredentialsImpl(
  CredentialsScope.GLOBAL,
  "secret-file",
  "Secret File Description",
  noFileItem, // Don't use FileItem
  file.getName(),
  file.text
)

store.addCredentials(domain, secretText)
store.addCredentials(domain, secretFile)
