Run Jenkins build when git commit is done

Question

I know that this question is posted in different topic.But my case is a little bit different.

I want to trigger my test goal when a commit is detected by Jenkins. Most tutorials in the internet show how to do this using WebHook.

In my case I have two problems :

1) I did not find the option "Trigger build when a commit is detected"

2) All tutorials speak about configuring webhook, from Git URL.in my case, my git repository is local and I did not have access to the web interface. So how to do the same thing manually ?

Thank ou in advance

Configuration :

• Jenkins Server 1.651.1
• Git Plugin 2.4.4,

Solution

You do it in a little bit different way:

You do use a web-hook to capture when new git commit was made and in the hook you start the Jenkins job with the rest API.
