How to change the status URL sent to Github? about ghprb-plugin HOT 20 CLOSED

I think you would want to use the GitHub plugin to do that. You can also append a portion of the build logs to the comment that gets made when the job fails.

It looks like that will just give you the status, not a custom message.
The plugin is set up to use extensions now, so you are welcome to add one that will do just what you want, and add it to the extensions.status package.

I'm sorry, I don't think I was clear. I was specifically referring to the "Details" link at the bottom of GH PRs. That link is being set to the URL of our internal Jenkins server.

Specifically, I'd like to provide a per-job value for the target_url in the JSON that is being sent back by GHPRB to set the commit status (i.e., the gist URL that I generate during my job build steps).

from ghprb-plugin.

I am pretty sure we are on the same page. The status update is what sets that details link, or the icon to the right of the commit. Right now it is just set to use the internal url, but an extension would allow that to change to whatever you want.

from ghprb-plugin.

Ah, ok.

Any suggestions for how I would do that in an extension? (forgive me; I'm unfamiliar with the GHPRB extensions...) Is there a "usual" way for a child process to pass some info back up to Jenkins (other than the exit status of the build script)?

from ghprb-plugin.

Use this file as a starting point. You just have to handle updating the status when the build is scheduled, starting, and complete.

Ok, we'll have a look at that. Thanks!

I think I will just add it to #103 since it hasn't been merged yet.

from ghprb-plugin.

Sweet; thank you!

Do you have a guesstimate on when this will be in a published release of GHPRB?

from ghprb-plugin.

The changes landed in build 1.24 and will be in the update center within the next few hours, whenever their process runs next.

from ghprb-plugin.

I've updated my Jenkins to use 1.24 of GHPRB and I'm a little confused at to how to do what I want.

Forgive me -- I might have used the wrong terminology to define what I want to do. I see this screenshot:

I think I said "job" earlier in this issue when I really should have said "build". I.e., I have build-specific output that I want to include in the details/status link on github (in this case, I dump my build log to a gist that is specific to that build).

from ghprb-plugin.

The "Commit Status URL" will be resolved when the plugin updates the status of a commit. If you put an environment variable in there then it will be resolved during the build

from ghprb-plugin.

How do I set an environment variable from my build steps (potentially executing on a separate slave node) that the GHPRB plugin will see?

from ghprb-plugin.

I recommend using https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/EnvInject+Plugin, then you can inject variables at any stage of the build using a properties file, a properties script, a groovy script, or a groovy file.

from ghprb-plugin.

Sweet. Let me go check that out.

(many thanks for your patience and all the help!)

I'm checking how to use the Commit Status URL box in the GHPRB global configure section.
It doesn't seem to have any impact on the link pointed to by details. Do I need to supply values for
the other two fields - Commit Status Build Triggered and Commit Status BuildStarted?

from ghprb-plugin.

So it looks like I forgot to add the getter for the field, so the configure page won't show the url you saved. I just fixed it locally and will release a patch, but the functionality should still work.

Currently the last status details is for google.com, which is what I saved in the config.

@jsquyres I want do the same thing as you have done, pushing our jenkins(behind firewall) console logs to a gist & then publishing it using custom url. I have figured the custom url part but i am not sure how should i push the console logs to gist. It would be great if you can let me know how you did that. Thank you

@jeevandev We just use a CLI gist uploader -- https://github.com/defunkt/gist.

@jsquyres perfect thanks, i was trying to do it using groovy & bash
