Development tools for Jenkins configuration as code (JCasC) are incomplete and not as helpful as they could be. IDE autocompletion does not work as expected in the leading IDE’s (IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code, and Atom).
This project will improve Jenkins configuration as code development tools through a CommunityBridge project. It is the first CommunityBridge project in the Jenkins community. It will be used as an experiment with CommunityBridge and as a project to improve development tools for Jenkins configuration as code.
