Hello-world plugin example; unable to get side menu to appear

[Bob Pokorny]

Hi there –

 

I am following the Hello-World plug-in tutorial and attempting to extend it.  I am following the instructions outlined in the documentation; however, I am unable to get the side menu to appear.

 

This is the code for HelloWorldAction:

package io.jenkins.plugins.sample;

import hudson.model.Run;

import jenkins.model.RunAction2;

public class HelloWorldAction implements RunAction2 {

    private String name;

    private transient Run run;

    public HelloWorldAction(String name) {

        this.name = name;

    }

    public String getName() {

        return name;

    }

    @Override

    public String getIconFileName() {

        return "document.png";

    }

    @Override

    public String getDisplayName() {

        return "Greeting";

    }

    @Override

    public String getUrlName() {

        return "greeting";

    }

    @Override

    public void onAttached(Run<?, ?> r) {

        this.run = run;

    }

    @Override

    public void onLoad(Run<?, ?> r) {

        this.run = run;    

    }

    public Run getRun() {

        return run;

    }

}

Here is the index.jelly code:

 <?jelly escape-by-default='true'?>

<j:jelly xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:l="/lib/layout" xmlns:st="jelly:stapler">
    <l:layout title="Greeting">
        <l:side-panel>
            <st:include page="sidepanel.jelly" it="${it.run}" optional="true" />
        </l:side-panel>

        <l:main-panel>
            <h1>
                Name: ${it.name}
            </h1>
        </l:main-panel>
    </l:layout>
</j:jelly>

I don’t see the build menu on the left as the documentation describes.  I continue to only see the greeting.

I am brand new to Jenkins and plug-ins.  I know I have a long way to go to learn how to build a robust plug-in, therefore I want to make sure I understand why this is not working.

I appreciate your time.

 Thanks,

Bob

The sidepanel.jelly of a run already contains a <l:side-panel>, so you would have this doubled.

Maybe you can try this like this:

 

<?jelly escape-by-default='true'?>
<j:jelly xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:l="/lib/layout" xmlns:st="jelly:stapler">
    <l:layout title="Greeting">

        <st:include page="sidepanel.jelly" it="${it.run}" optional="true" />

        <l:main-panel>
            <h1>
                Name: ${it.name}
            </h1>
        </l:main-panel>
    </l:layout>
</j:jelly>

Also did you add the action to anything? I think the hello world has a build wrapper that calls addaction

Otherwise you need a factory or extend root action to make it independent.

Thank you for the replies.

I did create the HelloWorldAction class that implements RunAction2.

Additionally, I did change the HelloWorldAction\index.jelly to include the side bar, but that didn't seem to have an effect.
