Jenkinsapi VERSION: 0.3.13

Jenkins VERSION: 2.462.3

SUMMARY

Creating jobs inside a given folder fails. create_job method works only for creating jobs in main folder.
E.g.:
create_job(jobname=folder1/folder2/job-name, xml=config_xml)

• folder1 and folder2 were already created when I call create_job method
• I also tried with job_name=/job/folder1/job/folder2/job-name but it didn't work.

EXPECTED RESULTS

• Job must be created successfully

ACTUAL RESULTS

• Creating job fails with jenkinsapi.custom_exceptions.JenkinsAPIException: Operation failed error.
