⏰ Playwright Essentials #68 Jenkins Scheduled Pipelines: Automate Your Builds Like Clockwork

In this episode, we walk through how to schedule Jenkins builds using cron expressions, enabling your pipelines to run automatically at set intervals—daily, weekly, or even every few minutes. Whether you're running Playwright tests, cleaning up environments, or triggering nightly regressions, this guide helps you build smarter, not harder.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:

🛠️ Configuring Periodic Builds in Jenkins
Open Your Jenkins Project
→ Navigate to the job you want to schedule
→ Click Configure
Enable Build Triggers
→ Scroll to Build Triggers section
→ Check Build periodically
Add a Cron Expression
→ Example: Run every day at midnight
0 0 * * *
→ Example: Run every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * *
→ Use H for hash-based scheduling to avoid load spikes
H H * * *
Save and Monitor
→ Click Save
→ Jenkins will now trigger builds based on your schedule
🧠 Pro Tip: Use crontab-generator.org to craft your schedule easily.

📊 Verifying Scheduled Runs
Check Build History for timestamps
Use Console Output to inspect logs
Add notifications or reports for visibility

🧪 Real-World Use Cases:
Run Playwright tests every night at 2 AM
Schedule weekly cleanup jobs for test environments
Automate builds for staging deployments
Trigger periodic linting or security scans
