Shortcut Job

Sometimes you want to have everything in one place, even if in reality it is spread across a number of folders or even a number of jenkins servers. This plugin helps with that by allowing you to create an item that is a shortcut to any URL - either absolute, or relative to the web server or relative to Jenkins root.

Simply create a new item with type Shortcut - enter a name for it and URL, and you are done.

Job Options:

• Name - Job name

• TargetUrl - Target URL in one of three formats:

  1. Full URL stating with http:// or https://

     • Example:

     If your jenkins server is at https://my.jenkins.io/jenkins and you moved team "team"'s folder to a new jenkins server with url of https://team.jenkins.io/jenkins You can create an item in old server with TargetUrl of https://team.jenkins.io/jenkins

  2. Relative URL starting with / - this will be relative to the root of current web server.

     • Example:

       If your jenkins server is at https://my.jenkins.io/jenkins - a value of /anotherapp/path will redirect you to https://my.jenkins.io/anotherapp/path

  3. Relative URL not stating with / - this will be relative to your Jenkins install

     • Example:

       If your jenkins server is at https://my.jenkins.io/jenkins - a value of configure will redirect you to https://my.jenkins.io/jenkins/configure

• enabled - This flag allows you to troubleshoot your shortcut. If not enabled, clicking on the item will display target instead of redirecting you.

• Currently, when you save your item, you will be redirected to the URL immediately (if item is enabled)
• Renaming of items broke sometime before initial release
• Absolute lack of unit tests

• 0.5 - Bugfixes
