How can I create global macros and templates in jenkins job builder

Question

This is my Jenkins Job Builder Directory structure:

jenkins
    ---global-defaults.yaml
    ---global-macros.yaml
    ---global-templates.yaml
    ---projectfolderA
     | ---projectA.yaml

over here my projectA.yaml can't find templates and macros if they are not int he projectAfolder, though it can still find global-defaults

Can I somehow get project.yaml files in sub folders to recognise upper level templates and macros?

Answer 1

you can append the path to the directory where all the logic is stored when you want to update the jobs

jenkins-jobs --conf config_file update path_to_project_folder:path_to_globals_folder
