Ideally I'd like to be able to invoke the script with some kind of unit test before I have it execute on a Jenkins.
Is there any way to test a Job DSL script other than having jenkins run it?

Besides the examples in job-dsl-gradle-example, you can also go a step further and write tests for individual files or jobs. For example let's assume you have a job configuration file located in jobs/deployJob.groovy
import javaposse.jobdsl.dsl.DslScriptLoader
import javaposse.jobdsl.dsl.MemoryJobManagement
import javaposse.jobdsl.dsl.ScriptRequest
import spock.lang.Specification
class TestDeployJobs extends Specification {
def 'test basic job configuration'() {
given:
URL scriptURL = new File('jobs').toURI().toURL()
ScriptRequest scriptRequest = new ScriptRequest('deployJob.groovy', null, scriptURL)
MemoryJobManagement jobManagement = new MemoryJobManagement()
when:
DslScriptLoader.runDslEngine(scriptRequest, jobManagement)
then:
jobManagement.savedConfigs.each { String name, String xml ->
with(new XmlParser().parse(new StringReader(xml))) {
// Make sure jobs only run manually
triggers.'hudson.triggers.TimerTrigger'.spec.text().isEmpty()
// only deploy every environment once at a time
concurrentBuild.text().equals('false')
// do a workspace cleanup
buildWrappers.'hudson.plugins.ws__cleanup.PreBuildCleanup'
// make sure masked passwords are active
!buildWrappers.'com.michelin.cio.hudson.plugins.maskpasswords.MaskPasswordsBuildWrapper'.isEmpty()
}
}
}
}
This way you are able to go through every XML node you want to make sure to have all the right values set.
Have a look at the job-dsl-gradle-example. The repo contains a test for DSL scripts.
Doing it in the same way as crasp but using Jenkins test harness as explained in Jenkins Unit Test page, which is slower but would work with auto-generated DSL giving syntax errors as explained here.
After setting the code as explained here, you can just do a test like this one:
@Unroll
void 'check descriptions #file.name'(File file) {
given:
JobManagement jobManagement = new JenkinsJobManagement(System.out, [:], new File('.'))
Jenkins jenkins = jenkinsRule.jenkins
when:
GeneratedItems items = new DslScriptLoader(jobManagement).runScript(file.text)
then:
if (!items.jobs.isEmpty()) {
items.jobs.each { GeneratedJob generatedJob ->
String text = getItemXml(generatedJob, jenkins)
with(new XmlParser().parse(new StringReader(text))) {
// Has some description
!description.text().isEmpty()
}
}
}
where:
file << TestUtil.getJobFiles()
}
