Build details of pipeline job via API

[Graham Lyons]

Hi,

I'm trying to get information about running builds on Jenkins agents, with and without pipelines. 'Old-style' jobs show up just fine but pipelines only ever appear as placeholder tasks:

{

   "currentExecutable": {

     "_class": "org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.support.steps.ExecutorStepExecution$PlaceholderTask$PlaceholderExecutable"

   },

   "currentWorkUnit": {

    },

   "idle": false,

   "likelyStuck": false,

   "number": 1,

   "progress": 84

 }

I'm using Jenkins ver. 2.19.1 but, looking at the source code, I don't see any changes relating to this in later versions. I could be wrong about that of course.

Is this expected? Is there a way to make it behave differently? How does the /ajaxExecutors endpoint get its data?

If anyone can help then I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Graham

OK, so it looks like the /ajaxExecutors endpoint just uses the progress value from this data which is why that works.

Any help on the other points would be gratefully received.

Ta,

Actually, that still doesn't explain where it gets the build number and URL for the link to the job.
