Get current view in FormValidation

[Jochen Fuerbacher]

Hi,

is there a possibility to get the current view in a FormValidation?

I want to extend the view configuration (with ViewProperty). Therefore I created some fields.

Now I need the current view in my FormValidation method. There's an annotation @AncestorInPath, but this only works for items and not for views.

Is there any other annotation to get the current view? I don't mean the fields of the view, but something like this:

public FormValidation doCheckView(@AncestorInPath View view, @QueryParameter String value) {

//Do something with view.
...
}

Thank you very much!

AFAIK non-default `View`s should be in the ancestor list.

Tip: from `mvn hpi:run` dev mode, look at HTTP headers to see Stapler traces.

Thank you! Unfortunately views aren't in the ancestor list.

At the moment I do this to get the view:

public FormValidation doCheckView(@QueryParameter String value) {            
            String viewpath = Stapler.getViewURL(View.class, "Testview");
            String viewname = viewpath.substring(viewpath.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
            View view = Jenkins.getActiveInstance().getView(viewname);
            ...
}

However, this way isn't very elegant. Is there any more smart way to get the view?

Well you seem to be mixing up two different concepts

Stapler.getViewURL gets you the resource URL to a class' view (.jelly or .groovy) Is it that type of view you want?

I'm guessing you're after the current hudson.model.View that is currently being configured?

You can get that via the current ancestor path (the path of domain model objects that got to the execution of your "doX" method)

Stapler.getCurrentRequest().findAncestor(View.class).getObject()

Or more simply, `@AncestorInPath View view` from a web method.

However if you are doing this from a `FormValidation doCheckXXX` web
method called from a lazy-loaded block (such as a newly configured
property), you are probably hitting JENKINS-19413. Workaround:

Thank you very much! Yes, I tried doing `@AncestorInPath View view` from a lazy-loaded block. Ok, then I need to do the workaround.
