How to associate a new page to a link on Jenkins

[MaxiTrompe]

Hello,

I am developing a plugin for Jenkins that consists in adding a link to
the left sidebar of the main page and displaying information on a new
page when this one is selected.

To start my plugin, I took the Sidebar-Link Plugin (https://
wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Sidebar-Link+Plugin), which adds
links on the left side of the main page. My problem is that this
plugin only adds new links, but do not redirect to a new page.

I have found another plugin, Log Parser Plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-
ci.org/display/JENKINS/Log+Parser+Plugin), that I know creates new
pages. Unfortunately, the Log Parser Plugin is too complicated and I
did not find an anwser by examining it.

I have looked for such anwsers on the internet but there aren't much
information that helps.

If someone has any ideas of doing such, I would very much appreciate a
little help.

Thank you in advance

Bonjour,

Je développe un plugin pour Jenkins qui consiste à ajouter un lien vers
la barre latérale gauche de la page principale et l'affichage d'informations sur une nouvelle
page lorsque celui-ci est choisi.

Pour commencer mon plugin, j'ai pris le Plugin Sidebar-Link (https://
wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Sidebar-Link + Plugin), qui ajoute
liens sur le côté gauche de la page d'accueil. Mon problème est que cette
plugin ajoute que de nouveaux liens, mais ne redirige pas vers une nouvelle page.

J'ai trouvé un autre plugin, identifiez-vous Plugin Parser (https://wiki.jenkins-
ci.org / affichage / JENKINS / Connexion + Parser Plugin +), ce que je sais crée une nouvelle
pages. Malheureusement, le plug-in Log Parser est trop compliqué et je
n'a pas trouvé d'anwser en l'examinant.

J'ai regardé pour anwsers ces sur l'internet, mais il n'y a pas beaucoup
l'information qui aide.

Si quelqu'un a des idées de faire une telle, je serais très reconnaissant une
peu d'aide.

Merci d'avance

Hi,

all you have to do is to add

implements RootAction

to your class (which is also marked by @Extension annotation) and implement

public String getUrlName() method with returns correct URL of the page you want to display.

Yes, this is what I have already done: I have a class RootAction that return a url for a new page, but when I click on it, I have the following error

 

404 Not Found

Stapler processed this HTTP request as follows, but couldn't find the resource to consume the request

-> evaluate(<hudson.model.Hudson@1299db6> :hudson.model.Hudson,"/dummyurl")
-> evaluate(((StaplerProxy)<hudson.model.Hudson@1299db6>).getTarget(),"/dummyurl")
-> evaluate(<hudson.model.Hudson@1299db6>.getDynamic("dummyurl",...),"")
-> evaluate(<hudson.plugins.sidebar_link.LinkAction@ebb788> :hudson.plugins.sidebar_link.LinkAction,"")
-> No matching rule was found on <hudson.plugins.sidebar_link.LinkAction@ebb788> for ""

<hudson.plugins.sidebar_link.LinkAction@ebb788> has the following URL mappings, in the order of preference:

1. TOKEN.groovy for url=/TOKEN/...
2. VIEW.jelly for url=/VIEW
3. hudson.plugins.sidebar_link.LinkAction.getIconFileName() for url=/iconFileName/...
4. hudson.plugins.sidebar_link.LinkAction.getUrlName() for url=/urlName/...
5. hudson.plugins.sidebar_link.LinkAction.getDisplayName() for url=/displayName/...
6. java.lang.Object.getClass() for url=/class/...

The thing is, I want the link to point to a new page that I can edit within my plugin

[Vojtech Juranek]

getUrlName() can return existing links or do the mapping of given object to URL, see Action javadoc [1] for details.

 

Probably the most easy way how to display something is e.g. this:

 

@Extension

public class DataPlotRoot implements RootAction {

 

public String getIconFileName() {

return "/plugin/data-processing-plugin/img/x-office-presentation.png";

}

 

public String getDisplayName() {

return "Data processing";

}

public String getUrlName() {

return "data-processing";

}

}

 

and in put into (applies for plugin org.jenkinsci.plugins.dataprocessing) src/main/resources/org/jenkinsci/plugins/dataprocessing/DataPlotRoot/

file called index.jelly

Content of this file will be shown when you click the link.

Thank you very much, it works perfectly!

Hello again,

I come back to this topic because after creating this new page successfully to my main page, I have encountered problems when I wanted to modify it.

 

The thing is I want to be able to display specific data into my new page, depending on the instance of jenkins.

 

I have tried to modify directly the file from my plugin, but the file seems inaccessible.

I have tried to include an html file in an accessible directory into the jelly, but the directory that I have to enter in the jelly is the full path from my computer, which will not be accessible when my plugin is finished.

 

If anyone knows how I could do something like that, it would be great.
