Where is Jenkins CLI .jar file stored on the server?

  • 772

I am using the Jenkins CLI in a script for some Jenkins automation (https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/cli/).

According to the docs, you have to first download the .jar from the Jenkins host.

Currently I am doing this by running wget http://localhost:8080/jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar

However I would like to reduce the amount of steps in my script, so I would like to skip that download step and just find the jenkins-cli.jar directly on the Jenkins server instead of downloading it first.

I tried running find / -name "jenkins-cli.jar" to no success.

Does anyone know where it's stored? Surely it must exist somewhere since you can download it direct from the Jenkins host.

    It is packed inside the Jenkins WAR file, along with other jars.
