Add a left hand side link for a job, powered by a particular BuildStep

[Kirill]

Hi folks,

I created a plugin that contains a custom Builder. It is included in job XX on my Jenkins.

What I need is to add a link to the left-hand side of any build of any job in Jenkins, if it contains this build step. Say, if I create a job YY, this link has to appear on the left hand side when I go to the build details page (along with regular links like "Status", "Changes", etc.), as well as in job XX.

I used TransientActionFactory in the past, but I used it for a particular Build class. Not sure how to use it to work for any Build that has my Builder.

I made a naive attempt to do it like this, hoping that Jenkins will understand what I want (Builder is not Actionable, alas):

@Extension
public class MyLinkActionFactory extends TransientActionFactory<MyBuilder> {

    @Override
    public Class<MyBuilder> type() {
        return MyBuilder.class;
    }

    @Nonnull
    @Override
    public Collection<? extends Action> createFor(@Nonnull MyBuilder builder) {
            return Collections.singleton(new MyLinkAction("http://fullUrl"));
    }

}

public class MyLinkAction implements Action {
    private final String url;

    public MyLinkAction(String url) {
        this.url = url;
    }

    @Override
    public String getIconFileName() {
        return "/plugin/mystuff/images/24x24/ve.png";
    }

    @Override
    public String getDisplayName() {
        return "See the results";
    }

    @Override
    public String getUrlName() {
        return url;
    }
}

No surprize - it didn't work.
The only way out that I see is to use MyLinkActionFactory with any top-level item, but that will probably seriously slow down the Jenkins - and then somehow check whether it uses my Builder or not.:(

Any other more elegant solutions, people?

Regards,
Kirill.

Hi,

In the #perform, method of your Builder, create an instance of your Action and add it to the Build object.

In your case, I don't think you need to implement a TransientActionFactory.

Thanks a million, Vincent!
This worked like a charm.

Kirill.
