SUMMARY
Note: This PR actually includes three separate changes, if you prefer to have them in separate PRs just ask!
Due to some special requirements on our part, we needed (and added) the following:
Tested with Jenkins 2.235.5 and 2.401.3.
ISSUE TYPE
COMPONENT NAME
jenkins_build and jenkins_build_info
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For a bit of context, we are dealing with an external Jenkins server that randomly fails. This means that due to how the jenkins_build module works we were getting random errors on our Ansible playbook (although the Jenkins build would actually continue).
With these changes we are able to craft a playbook that, even if the server returns an error sometimes, is able to retry and actually check if the build kept going.
